Who We Are

We are a Non-Profit 501(c)(3) All-Volunteer All-Spay/Neuter No-Kill Cat Rescue Organization. As we do not yet have a public facility in which we can meet with the public and their kitties, we function as a co-operative, serving the needs of our Helpers in our homes, primarily from Seaford and Western Sussex County. Our purpose is to further the process of Delaware becoming a No-Kill state, through the twin goals of 1) reducing cat procreation / overpopulation, and 2) reducing the euthanizing of cats and kittens, especially those that are tame and healthy. We facilitate adoptions of kittens, which are spayed or neutered at 8 weeks of age, prior to adoption. To further serve the community, we sponsor at least one annual low-cost Rabies & Distemper Vaccination Clinic, which serves as fund-raisers to support our rescue efforts. We are always seeking fun ways to raise funds. Our future goals include a kitten adoption facility, a cat retirement home, a low-cost spay/neuter surgery center, and a feral cat sanctuary. We are building a network of cat rescuers in Sussex County, and always welcome new volunteers! People that can participate either on a continual basis or just every so often, from a few hours a week to one day a year, could be of great assistance to our efforts! If you are interested in becoming a Helper, either by donating and/or volunteering, please contact us!

PEDIATRIC SPAY/NEUTER
There are at least 11 national organizations which endorse sterilization surgery for all kittens 8 weeks and older, prior to their adoption. Below are the links to 10 national organizations' specific WebPages on this topic, by its various names: Pediatric Spay/Neuter, Juvenile Spay/Neuter, Pre-Adoption Sterilization, Early Neutering, and Prepuberal Gonadectomy. (Also, The American Kennel Club has endorsed this protocol in a video produced by the American Humane Association, although they do not have a webpage endorsement.)
