Give Me Shelter Cat Rescue

P.O. Box 411013

Founded in 2003 by Lana Bajsel, Give Me Shelter Cat Rescue (a registered 501(C)3 non-profit organization), has worked tirelessly within the San Francisco community to help stop the overpopulation of abandoned and unwanted adult and senior cats. As a small group of dedicated volunteers, we try to save as many feline lives as we can. We provide behavioral and medical intervention, unconditional love and a safe haven while we seek new forever homes for our feline friends. As many of you know, the odds are stacked against older cats that are placed in local shelters. Here in San Francisco, most adult cats are at risk of being euthanized, whether it is due to their age, easily treatable medical conditions, or due to the stress of being placed in a shelter. We believe that adult and senior cats, with their typically calm personalities, can make the best of family pets. Our mission is to rescue these cats and find them loving, permanent homes through fostering and active adoption strategies.

International Paw Angels

We specifically focused on helping rescued animals from China that are rescued from slaughterhouses, abandonments, strays off the streets. There are no laws to protect them in China and we want to do our best to help them find their forever homes here in the US and live their second chance in life.

Persian & Himalayan Cat Rescue

(925) 838-1838

We rescue Persian and Himalayan cats in the Northern California area. We are passionate about the breed, but also recognize the special care they need. Because of our experience with Persian and Himalayans, we tend to be able to care for the cat better and help them on their way to recovery. We do not take owner surrenders and the cats we receive from shelters are almost always in bad shape and not wanted by the shelter. I volunteer because I love animals and feel the responsibility to help those who can not help themselves.
