Kerry A. Spitzenberger Foundation dba Kerry's Cats

Kerry's Cats was founded in 2010 by Kerry A. Spitzenberger. We are a small, non-profit, foster home based 501(c)(3) cat rescue, that cares for, rehabilitates, and adopts out cats that have, in one way or another, been forgotten, mistreated, or left behind. Any money raised, goes directly to the care of our fosters. Kerry's Cats mission is NO MORE HOMELESS CATS in the York County, SC area. We work towards this mission on 3 fronts: 1) Working with each at risk cat in his/her present home to keep him/her at that home. This is done by assisting with veterinary care, providing food/shelter/containment/education as needed; 2) Providing low cost spay/neuter options to cat owners to reduce the population of potentially at risk pets in our designated geographic area; 3) Providing rescue and adoption options if other alternatives are not viable.

The first step in the adoption process is the application. References, including past & present Veterinarian & personal references are verified. Past & present pets MUST BE spay/neutered, current on vaccines, and live in a clean, happy & healthy environment. Potential adopters must have a good reference from the Vet(s). The potential adopters house is Google searched before setting up a home visit. A Kerry's Cats Volunteer will visit the home with the pet to ensure a good fit between pet and adoption family. If pet is adopted is too young to be spay/neutered, (5 months or younger) arrangements for the procedure are made with OUR Vet and adopter MUST ensure the appointment is kept. Spay/Neuter procedure cost is part of the adoption fee. Any deviation from this protocol MUST BE APPROVED PRIOR to home visit at the discretion of the Foster home and is examined on a case by case basis. Kerry's Cats Volunteers will take the pet to the appointment if necessary. Failure to comply will result in surrender of the pet back to Kerry's Cats.
