Rose Hope Animal Rescue is a small non-profit, no kill animal rescue in Waterbury, CT. We are a 501(c)3. We are strictly a volunteer organization. We try to help as many homeless animals as we can. We do not have a shelter facility. We operate out of foster homes. We have an adoption center located in the Waterbury Petsmart where we keep most of our cats and kittens that are ready to be adopted. Sometimes we have cats that are ready for adoption in foster homes, which you can view on our website. If you are interested in one of these cats please contact Cathy from Rose Hope at the Waterbury Petsmart (203-596-9997) during cat adoption hours: Tues.& Fri. 6:30p.m.-8:00p.m., Sat.1:00p.m.-3:00p.m., Sun.12:00p.m.-2:00p.m. Our dogs come to the Wtby. Petsmart for adoption during dog adoption hours which are on Fridays from 2pm-4pm(only certain dogs are brought down for showing by appointment), Saturdays from 1pm-4pm. Our dogs can be seen on our website. If you are interested in a particular dog just send us an email for more info.or call 203-597-1236.

ADOPTION POLICY

Potential dog adopters would complete our dog adoption application first. Copy and paste in your address bar:

http://www.rosehope.org/index.php?option=com_chronocontact&Itemid=29

 

If you would like to adopt a cat you must fill out a cat application in person at the Waterbury Petsmart. Completion of the application does not mean you are approved. You must have a veterinarian reference to adopt. We must ensure that the animals we adopt out to new homes are going to responsible owners. Therefore, a vet. reference is the only way we can see if a potential adopter would be a responsible pet owner. When we check a veterinarian reference on current pets or past pets, we are looking for a vaccine history, spay/neuter and if you have followed through with veterinarian recommendations for your pet. All pets must be spayed or neutered and current on vaccines. For adoption of dogs, one of the requirements is that you must own your own home. There is an adoption fee for each animal. This fee is considered a donation and is non-refundable. This is essential for us to continue our work. You must understand that the fee covers only a portion of the medical care we have put into each animal. All our animals over 4 months of age are spayed or neutered. When adopting a puppy or kitten under 4 months of age, you sign a contract with us agreeing to spay or neuter by the 6 month age. For a puppy you pay an extra $50 fee which you get back when you show proof of spay or neuter. We follow through with phone calls to make sure this is done. After an adoption we also follow through with phone calls/emails 2-4 wks. later to find out how our animals are adjusting in their new homes. We are always available to offer advice for any concerns that may arise. You must meet with one of our adoption counselors in person for the interview. You must also be at least 21 yrs.of age to adopt. We will not decide on a home over the phone. We also will not ship out any of our animals. Some of the factors we take into consideration when we are deciding on potential owners are: the responses on the application, the interview, the vet. consult, the needs of an individual pet. When you fill out the application,that does not mean you are getting the pet. That is the first step in the adoption procedure. Sometimes there is more than one application for a particular animal. We pick the home that best suits the pet. If there are equally qualified adopters then the home will be chosen by a first come first serve basis. If you do not meet our requirements, we reserve the right to refuse an adoption. If your application is denied for whatever reason, that will be the standing application. You or another family member cannot submit another application with different answers to the questions on the application. Most of our animals have been through enough trauma in their lives. Some of them have come out of some horrific experiences. Our animals cannot speak for themselves, so as their guardians we speak for them. We are trying to find them the best possible homes. We also want to make sure that our animals go to lifetime homes. None of us are paid for doing this. We rescue these animals because we love them and we are dedicated to them. Thanks for understanding.

VOLUNTEERS

RIGHT NOW WE ARE ALL SET FOR VOLUNTEERS. We're looking for a volunteer to help us by feeding the cats and cleaning their cages in the morning. They also love getting some attention. It's very rewarding to be able to help animals in need. Monday through Friday, around 9:00 to about 11:00. Sometimes a little longer, other times a little less, depending on how many cages need cleaning and how many cats need feeding. Please, if you're a responsible, dependable person, and you have a morning or two free, consider giving a hand. Volunteering one morning a week would be so helpful. We need you and so do our cats.If you are interested contact Cathy by email cathysca@comcast.net or call(203-596-9997) during cat adoption hours:Tues.& Fri.6:30pm-8:00pm, Sat.1:00pm-3:00pm, Sun.12:00pm-2:00pm.

OUR WISH LIST

If you can't volunteer your time, you can help in other ways. You can donate items that we need to take care of our animals. We always can use paper towels, canned kitten, cat, puppy, and dog food, Frontline, Advantage, cat and dog toys, cat and dog beds, blankets towels, dog collars and leashes, cat litter, garbage bags. Since it's kitten season, KMR(kitten formula)is in great demand. We are also in need of a good dehumidifier. Any of these items would greatly be appreciated.

Who We Are: Rose Hope Animal Rescue

FOSTER HOMES NEEDED

We are always in need of foster homes. If we had more people to volunteer their service to foster we could help more cats and kittens.Most people don't understand what is happening in today's world with the unbelievable amount of homeless cats and kittens.They are everywhere out there. Most are in desperate need of the basics to survive. They cannot fend for themselves as some people mistakenly believe. The cats that we've rescued from outside right now are incredibly thirsty, drinking bowls of water and they are of course starving. There are many people that move and leave their cats behind unspayed and unneutered. That is why we have so many felines in need. They don't deserve this suffering. So please consider joining us in our mission to help these beautiful creatures. Because of today's financially difficult times foster families must be able to provide for any foster animals and be able to transport the pet to and from the vet and adoption events. We take care of all medical needs. We are also in need of foster homes for dogs and puppies too. So if you would like more info. email Cathy- cathysca@comcast.net

Cathy is available for adoption of cats Tuesday & Friday from 6:30pm -8pm, and Saturday from 1pm to 3pm and Sunday from 12pm -2pm.
