NeuterSpay.org is brought to you by
Purebred Cat Breed Rescue, Inc.
previously known as CFA Purebred Rescue,Inc, reflecting our early roots in the
CFA Purebred Rescue Committee in 1999.
Purebred Cat Breed Rescue represents the efforts of cat
fanciers to provide a safety net for Purebred cats. Our alliance of cat fanciers, rescuers, and cat lovers has successfully provided safe havens for more than 1900 cats in the last year.
We are actively supported by cat fanciers from Cat Fanciers' Association, Inc. (CFA), The International Cat Association, Inc. (TICA) and the American Cat Fanciers Association, Inc. (ACFA), as well as by cat lovers from all over the world.
We are a purely nonprofit 501(c)3, all volunteer organization and donations to
our rescue help to rescue at-risk purebreds. Every cat we rescue is spayed and neutered before placement, as per our Policies and Procedures.
Our rescue has been granted charitable 501(c)3 status by the IRS, so all donations are tax deductible.
Our activities include working with shelters to arrange rescue of at-risk cats, arranging for and often funding initial and emergency vetting, working with animal control agencies to rescue cats who are at imminent risk of seizure from hoarder and cruelty/neglect situations, and providing and/or coordinating transportation of at-risk cats to safety. We do not take owner relinquishments except in exceptional cases or unless working with animal control authorities.
As well as providing a safety net for those purebred cats in shelters all over the country, we often actively work with animal control to take purebred cats at imminent risk of seizure, when the owners consent, from hoarders and other situations of neglect and/or cruelty (and in such cases, we arrange for the vetting and transport to rescues of the non-purebred domestics that may be involved.)
In addition to our own rescue foster homes, we are highly networked with purebred and breed rescues, as well as with rescues that take any at-risk cat, especially those who have experience with purebreds.
We also operate Operation Noble Foster to provide our military with an alternative to relinquishment if their duty-call means they must leave their cats for a prolonged period of time.
Our PurebredCats.org website serves to educate the public about cats and offers breed rescue listings. It also features a photoboard which allows rescues who do not have websites of their own (or choose to post even if they do) to post available cats and for relinquishing owners to post their purebred cats for adoption. In exceptional cases, such as a new rescue initiative in Slovenia or a hoarder situation where rescues need to be able to see what cats are involved, we do also provide sections for posting of non-purebred domestic cats.
