Oz was living in a filthy dumpster, about to give birth to a litter of five kittens. Luckily, a kind-hearted person found her and brought her to Animal Talk Rescue, where one-by-one she and her kittens found loving homes. Soon after, Oz was adopted by a wonderful family who adore her.
Hank’s adorable cross eyes give him the cutest expression! When this little charmer got lost, he began living as a stray. His nylon collar became wet in the rain and shrunk, cutting into his neck. Despite Hank’s horrific injuries, Animal Talk Rescue wasn’t ready to give up on him. After the rescue provided extensive surgery to reconstruct his neck, Hank began to recover nicely. His ordeal has earned him the nickname “Hankenstein,” but it hasn’t crushed his spirit: he still has so much love to give!
To end the plight and suffering of homeless, neglected and abused companion animals, and to educate the public about the benefits of spaying and neutering.
Animal Talk Pet Shop opened its doors in 1990. It wasn't long before homeless cats and kittens began to find their way to Animal Talk's doorstep and Animal Talk Rescue was formed. The rescue worked for 10 years before the decision was made to become a full 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization. Animal Talk Rescue was made official on March 1, 2000 and since then the Rescue has experienced amazing growth. The year of 2007 saw 1155 cats and kittens placed into new adoptive homes.
While the rescue focus has been primarily with cats and kittens, rescue of any abused, abandoned or neglected companion animals is undertaken, provided there is space available. In past years, dogs, puppies and even iguanas have been rescued, treated and cared for until suitable new caretakers have been found.
Kittens and cats are accepted from their legal caretakers (we do not purchase them) by appointment on Sundays. Orphaned (6 weeks and under) kittens are accepted at anytime. Due to our limited space we can only accept them as we find homes for others. We cannot accept lost and found animals, the law states they must be handled by your local Animal Control. (Check here to find Animal Control for your area.)
