The Best Cat Rescues in Massachusetts State
According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, approximately 3.2 million cats enter U.S. animal shelters nationwide every year.
Even though 2.1 million cats are adopted every year, still approximately 530,000 shelter cats are euthanized every year. Pathetic.
You can help cats that end up in shelters/rescues by adopting these cats.
We have researched and compiled a list of the best cat rescues in your area.
However, we should mention that our list is not exhaustive because any non-profit organization that takes cats off the streets and offers these cats second chances deserves to be on our list. However, we do not have the space to include everyone.
If you know of any reputable cat rescue that we have not included on our list, please drop the name of the rescue in our comment section below.
Note that the animal rescues listed in this article did not pay us to include them in the list. We did our research without bias.
As a disclaimer, we will like to advise you to do your due diligence before working with any of the listed cat rescue organizations.
Also, always conduct your research and consult with specialists in your region before making any pet-related decisions.
