Jackpot was the first foster kitten
In spring 1997, Sue Romaine was leaving a volunteer shift at West Valley Animal Shelter when she met a man carrying a four-week-old kitten in a paper bag. She took the kitten into her care and named him Jackpot. Kitten Rescue traces its beginning to that intervention, which grew into a volunteer-based organisation helping cats from Los Angeles streets and shelters.
Foster homes help reveal a cat’s personality
Fostering gives the rescue information beyond an animal’s appearance or age. Its adoption guidance explains that volunteers’ experience with adult cats can help identify temperament and previous compatibility with other pets. This allows prospective adopters to discuss the household they can offer and the cat’s established habits, instead of choosing solely between a kitten and an older animal.
The sanctuary also cares for mothers and kittens
Kitten Rescue’s sanctuary includes a room used for nursing mothers and their litters, shown through its kitten camera. When no nursing family occupies it, the space can house kittens waiting for adoption. The camera offers a glimpse of this care, while the official animal listings and application process provide the route for discussing an actual placement.
Colony support extends beyond individual adoption
The organisation provides trap-neuter-return assistance in and around Los Angeles and teaches people how to manage and care for outdoor cat colonies. Its educational work also covers responsible guardianship, kitten care and sterilisation through school presentations, events, printed material and online resources. These activities give neighbours tools to participate in care alongside the rescue’s own foster and adoption work.
Helping a found cat starts with the right enquiry
Kitten Rescue states that its capacity to take in cats is extremely limited and lists a Community Foster Program among its support routes. Someone seeking help should explain the situation and ask what assistance is currently possible, rather than arrive expecting immediate intake. Prospective adopters can consult current listings and events; volunteering and donations help sustain the network’s daily care. Official programme information · AnimalProtech map.
