The Harsh Truth Behind the Video (Please take the time to watch—it is a little long, but critical to understand)
When you watch this video of the Beaumont cat colony, it’s easy to smile seeing these little faces getting fed. But let’s be brutally honest: this is not a glorious life.
These aren’t puppies safely nursing in a backyard. These are vulnerable animals left to survive on the streets, fighting every single day against extreme heat, vehicles, starvation, and predators—both human and animal.
This colony is just one of many across Beaumont and Banning. We are stepping up to expand our mission into both communities, but right in the middle of kitten season, the need is overwhelming.
Feeding a colony without spaying and neutering isn’t helping—it’s contributing to the problem.
Building more shelters or bringing in temporary shelter help isn’t the cure either. Spay, neuter, and Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is the ONLY permanent answer.
Friendly cats and kittens shouldn’t be left on the concrete—they deserve homes, barn placements, or socialization.
Feral cats deserve to be spayed, neutered, vaccinated, and managed responsibly so the cycle of suffering finally ends.
Spay and neuter services can’t just happen once or twice a month; they must be consistent and accessible.
Alongside our work helping unhoused pet owners and providing community resources, we are taking on these colonies directly. But we cannot do this alone. To launch these projects and keep them going, we need consistent funding from our community.
If this video touched your heart, let it move you to action. Help us break the cycle before another litter is born onto the streets.

When a rescue hits an unexpected wall, the animals can’t be the ones to pay the price.
At Animals of the Pass Rescue, our life’s work is boots-on-the-ground animal welfare. Founded to serve our local valleys and surrounding cities, we focus on saving abandoned pets, managing community cat colonies, coordinating low-cost spay/neuter access, and advocating for animals that have no voice. We fight for every single life that comes into our care.

Right now, we are facing the most overwhelming operational hurdle in our history, and we desperately need our community to stand with us.

Where We Are: Caught in Limbo
We are currently in the middle of a major relocation transition. What should have been a straightforward move has turned into a giant nightmare of red tape, contractor delays, real estate setbacks, and unexpected property refurbishments.

Vehicle Out of Service: Our essential transport truck—the heart of our rescue transport and outreach—is currently stuck in the repair shop, leaving us stranded.
Displaced Operations: Our equipment and supplies are packed away in temporary storage while we navigate this gap between locations.

Animals at Risk: Most critically, we are scrambling to ensure our rescue babies stay safe, comfortable, and cared for during this transition.

Our Immediate Goal: Keep Our Babies Out of Boarding
Our top priority is securing emergency foster placements for every animal in our care so they do not have to be placed in stressful commercial boarding facilities. However, navigating foster support, emergency supplies, storage fees, vehicle repair costs, and potential backup boarding expenses while caught between properties has stretched our resources to the absolute limit.

How You Can Help
We are turning to our community for a lifeline to help bridge this gap so we can complete this transition and get back on the road saving lives.
Donate: Every dollar goes directly toward truck repairs, storage rentals, foster supplies, and emergency animal care.

Foster: If you can temporarily open your home to a rescue baby, you will directly keep them out of boarding.

Share: Spreading the word about this campaign helps us reach people who can foster or contribute.

Thank you for standing with Animals of the Pass and helping us protect our rescue babies when they need us most!

Note: If you prefer to contribute directly to our truck repair, you can pay Truck Works in Banning toward the $300 diagnostic fee under the name Debbi Cram. Every bit helps get our transport back on the road!

A huge, heartfelt thank you to DHS Animal Rescue Advocacy for featuring Mishka for and recognizing Animals of the Pass Rescue! 🙏❤️
Her story is heartbreaking, but the full truth needs to be heard.
On Mother’s Day, May 11, 2025, four German Shepherds were abandoned in Desert Hot Springs in sweltering 103° heat. When Animal Control arrived on scene, they scanned all four dogs and found that only Mishka had a microchip. Because her paws were severely burned from the scorching ground, Animal Control took only Mishka to the shelter and left the other three behind. They contacted the microchip owner, who claimed they "gave the dogs away"—but we all know how that goes. They were dumped.
With night falling, the sun going down, and coyotes out in the desert, those remaining three dogs were in extreme danger. The team from Animals of the Pass Debbie Cram and Jerri Wilson) rushed out and worked for four grueling hours past dark to save them. A local resident named Alfred even cooked up steak on the spot so we could lure the terrified dogs into Jerri’s car.
Once all four dogs were secured, the three we rescued were taken to a temporary foster before moving into boarding at Four Paws Inn. From there, Roxy went into a foster home for a short time and was adopted. Pebbles was adopted next, and finally, Dino found his forever home too. All three are thriving in their forever homes today!
But Mishka is still lying in the exact same shelter facility—467 days later.
467 days behind bars on concrete is no life for such a loyal, sweet girl. She healed from her burned paws and survived abandonment, only to sit in a shelter while the rest of her pack moved on to happy lives.
As soon as Animals of the Pass Rescue finishes getting situated through our current transition, getting Mishka out of that shelter and into a real home is number one on our priority list. But she needs our community's help today to finally be seen!

Major Milestone & Urgent Foster Need! 🚨
Animals of the Pass Rescue is officially a registered 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit! 🎉

We just held an amazing meeting with our new team members Ken and Debbie they will be dedicated to helping our unsheltered neighbors and their pets across the Pass area.

Because we are a 100% foster-based rescue preparing for a major property relocation, this transition is tough. To keep our animals out of expensive kennels, we urgently need temporary foster homes (or adopters!) for our rescue cats and two small 8-month-old puppies.

🐾 A Little Update From Animals of The Pass 🐾

Animals of The Pass has taken in two tiny 2 week old kittens who were found in Sun Lakes 🥹🐱❤️

These little babies are much too young to be on their own and will need bottle feeding and lots of care while they grow. Thankfully they are now safe and have landed in an amazing foster home where they will be loved and cared for around the clock 🍼❤️

We are so incredibly grateful to our foster for opening their home to these two little ones and giving them the safe and loving start they deserve. It truly takes a village to save these babies and we couldn’t do it without our amazing foster families 🐾

For now, these two are settling in, getting lots of snuggles and getting the care they need. We will continue to share updates as they grow and get stronger 🥹💕

More updates to come on these sweet little babies! 🐱🍼❤️
