SPIRIT
***Please understand that RCAF is a no-kill rescue. When our foster cats encounter health issues, we must take care of them! Please consider donating to our cats that required extra care!!
This little angel is one of the many RCAF permanent foster kitties. Now how could we say "no" to that sweet little face? Spirit came to us with many birth defects, including a massive hernia and a deformed leg. Despite her sad beginning, she is full of life and energy! We think she is purr-fect!! Thanks to our kind and wonderful vets, she survived an emergency surgery to repair her hernia. However, in the next few months she must be spayed at our full service clinic. Up to this point, we have accrued vet bills to save her in the amount of $400. Please remember that the poor economy has hit the animals and rescue groups the hardest! If you'd like to help little Spirit and our effort to continue rescuing cats like her, please consider making a tax deductible donation to RCAF, which can be made by sending a check or money order to "Spirit", c/o RCAF, P.O. Box 94143, Cleveland, OH 44101 or by making a payment through our paypal link.

POOR PEACHY and POPEYE NEED DENTALS!!!!

Peachy is one of RCAF's permanent fosters. He is a sweet, 7 year old, orange and white kitty whose mommy was placed in a nursing home. RCAF promised to keep Peachy, so that he can visit his mom whenever she'd like to see him. He is in desperate need of a dental cleaning with extractions.

PLEASE VOTE FOR RAINBOW CONNECTION ANIMAL FOUNDATION (Cleveland, OH) DAILY! We are in the running for winning a grant for the kitties!
Who We Are
The Rainbow Connection Animal Foundation is a non-profit, no-kill, 100% volunteer animal rescue organization which rescues homeless, abandoned, and surrendered cats and kittens and ultimately places them in loving homes. We are also active in and practice Trap/Neuter/Release methods in order to maintain the feral and stray cat population. WE DO NOT HAVE A SHELTER. WE ARE A SERIES OF FOSTER HOMES.
All RCAF cats/kittens are tested for FIV/FeLV, wormed, and spayed/neuter. The animal is placed in foster care and observed and socialized as needed. Adoptions take place in private homes, PETsMART stores, internet rescue connections, and veterinary clinics.
RCAF relies on donations, adoption fees and volunteer support in order to operate and continue rescuing homeless and abandoned cats.
Adopting a friend
Each potential adoptive home is screened using a questionnaire and interviews. When adoption is approved, a representative of Rainbow Connection meets the adoptive parents and completes an adoption contract and medical record. Rainbow Connection has a 100% return policy which means in no uncertain terms, should the animal become ill, can no longer be cared for by the adopter or is simply no longer wanted, the animal is to be returned to Rainbow Connection. This ensures that this animal will never be homeless again in essence, Rainbow animals have a home forever.
Kitten Policy
ALL RAINBOW CATS/KITTENS ARE SPAYED OR NEUTERED PRIOR TO ADOPTION. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS.
For more information on early spay/neuter, please refer to an article published by Alley Cat Allies.
Adoption Fees
Adoption donation fees are $85 for cats and kittens. All donations and are tax deductible.
