Res-Q-Angels” is a small non profit no kill animal rescue organization. We do not have a shelter but instead we rely solely on volunteers to foster our cats and dogs. For every animal our rescue group takes in we provide supplies for the fosters such as food, crates, blankets, newspapers, food and water dishes, and anything else that the foster may require while taking care of one or more of our animals.
Some of our animals have been taken out of abusive situations, were owner surrenders or simply not wanted. Most of our animals though are pulled from high kill shelters where they were ready to be killed either by euthanasia, gas chamber or the barbaric method of heart stick. Since we do not know what kind of life these animals experienced before or during their shelter stay many of them were more than likely exposed to illnesses which do not show up for at least 3-6 weeks later.
All of our animals are NOT adopted out until they have had their necessary vaccines for their age, have been dewormed twice, have had at least one fecal test, and have been spayed or neutered. Our cats are all combo tested for feline leukemia, aids and heartworm. Res-Q-Angels does its best to adopt out nothing but healthy and loving animals. But sometimes under unusual circumstances things happen that no one had any knowledge or control of.
None of our animals go up for adoption until they are ready socially and physically. Almost all of our felines are litter box trained, but not all of our canines are housebroken.
Res-Q-Angels operates solely on adoption fees and donations. Our vets do not perform their services for free and even though we do get a little bit of a discount the vet bills still accumulate. For every one healthy animal that we adopt out, there is always two or three that come along that require special needs or intensive care that sometimes requires hospitalization accompanied with the proper medicines and 24 hour care. Since we are a no kill rescue group we do everything in our power to help the ill or injured animal regain its health so it too can get placed into a wonderful loving forever home.
