Mission

Houston Cares Rescue is a volunteer organization rescuing animals from the streets of Houston, TX and caring for them primarily with foster families until a loving home can be found. We also operate a Trap/Neuter/Release program for feral cats, and educate the community on proper animal care and the importance of spay/neuter.

Program Service Accomplishments

Program 1

Expenses: $178,690 Revenue: $38,235

In 2023, we adopted out 236 animals from our foster program into loving homes. In addition to our community education programs and our Trap/Neuter/Release program for feral cats, our volunteers feed 3 large feral cat colonies. Some of the most adoptable cats from these colonies, typically young kittens, are taken in by our rescue and adopted out to loving families.
