Golden Oldies Cat Rescue
(831) 200-9700, gocatrescue.org
What happens when a cat owner dies or can no longer care for a pet? There are shelters, of course, where kittens are quickly adopted but older cats sit until the shelter must do what it must do. That’s what makes Golden Oldies Cat Rescue such a remarkable (and necessary) organization. It’s an all-volunteer nonprofit that finds foster homes for older cats and then works hard to find a new forever home, however short that forever might be. The funds they raise go toward veterinary care, food and litter during the foster period. Old people don’t want to go to shelters – OK, they don’t call them human shelters. Old cats don’t either.
