The Best Cat Rescues in Virginia 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.

The Mission Statement of Tails High, Inc.: “Tails High is a cage-free cat rescue, which means that our cats are spread out in a network of foster homes, so they get a whole lot more socialization than they would in a “regular” shelter.
Prior to adoption, all of our cats and kittens are spayed or neutered (or will be as soon as they’re old enough), and have received their yearly vaccinations.
Our adoption coordinator specializes in matching families with the perfect cat for their lifestyle and personality. She’ll make an appointment to meet you at one of our many upcoming Adoption Events and she’ll make sure to bring the kitties who might be right for you. To schedule an appointment please click here: http://www.tailshigh.org/home/adoption-application/ and fill out our adoption application.”

FAN’s mission is to reduce overpopulation through our trap-neuter-return (TNR) program, thus providing relief to overcrowded animal shelters and taxpayer burden.
During trap-neuter-return (TNR), we often find friendly, abandoned adult cats and kittens who are easily socialized through our foster home care network. These cats and kittens are evaluated, receive necessary care, and made available for adoption into the right forever home.
