Peter Zippi Memorial Fund Inc

Peter Zippi Memorial Fund Inc Dedicated to helping animals and our community since 1977. We focus on cat rescue and spay-neuter assistance. www.peterzippifund.org

In memory of Peter Zippi, a young man dedicated to the care of animals, The Peter Zippi Fund Memorial Fund was founded in 1977 by Dr. Alice Villalobos. We have helped over 20,000 pets (mostly cats) since then. The Fund is run by wonderful volunteers who work tirelessly to help those who can't help themselves. We are focused on both animal rescue and spay/neuter assistance. We rescue abandoned cats

& kittens as well as those that have special needs. We provide them the care they need to be ready for adoption and then find them a new loving home. We also provide assistance for spaying or neutering of domestic and community (i.e. feral) cats, dogs and other animals.

🧡 Trouble 🧡

She turns one next month. She’s one of those cats who has always preferred to take her time... and that’s been OK with us.

Over the months she’s made quiet progress in foster care. She’s allowing nose touches, accepts a few gentle pets while resting in one of her favorite spots, and continues to show little moments of trust.

Trouble is still a thoughtful, observant girl who likes to move at her own pace. We think she deserves to be seen.

Not every cat walks up and asks for attention right away. Some build relationships more slowly. Trouble will be available soon and we’re hopeful the right person will see the beauty in meeting her where she is.

Every day, people reach out asking for help with a cat or kitten in need. Every day, members of our community recommend Peter Zippi Memorial Fund. We're grateful for that trust. 💛

What many people don't see is that our shelter has space for only about 16 cats and kittens at a time. As kittens grow, they need more room. As cats are adopted, space opens for others. It's a constant balancing act.

🏠 Foster homes help make that possible. 🏠 They give cats a safe place to receive medical care, grow, heal, and wait for the right adopter. They also allow us to say "yes" more often when another cat needs help.

Right now, we're especially looking for reliable foster homes that can commit beyond a week or two. The more stability we have, the better positioned we are to help more.

If you've ever considered fostering, we'd love to hear from you so we can help more cats like Maribelle. Learn more about our foster program here: https://www.peterzippifund.org/fostering/

Sometimes you just know. 🧡

When Nancy came to Peter Zippi during our Open Meet & Greet Hours, she only had eyes for Leo.

After seeing his photo online, her heart was already set on meeting him. Thankfully, Leo was just as charming in person.

It only took a few days to seal the deal, and we're so happy to share that Leo is officially adopted!

Leo now has a loving home with Nancy and her partner, Austin, and by all accounts, he is already very loved.

Congratulations to Leo, Nancy, and Austin on finding each other. We couldn't be happier for all three.
