From Heart of a Lion Rescue

Creemos que cada vida es especial. Nuestro rescate acepta gatos y gatitos que están sin hogar o en refugios con altas tasas de mortalidad dentro de Carolina del Norte. Cada gato es colocado en un hogar de acogida donde dedicamos tiempo a evaluar su personalidad y temperamento para que podamos colocar a cada uno en el mejor hogar posible para siempre según sus necesidades. sus necesidades individuales y las necesidades de su nueva familia. Los gatos y gatitos que necesitan atención médica reciben tratamiento inmediato y cada animal de nuestro rescate es esterilizado o castrado para romper el ciclo de superpoblación. También estamos disponibles para ofrecer asistencia financiera y orientación a quienes necesiten ayuda con los gatos de la comunidad.
