We love the Hermitage High School Ace Vet Science Program!!! They have been with us since 2017. The students dedicate themselves to making the fosters in their care absolutely amazing. Emery is their first for this year. She was adopted a few months ago as a tiny kitten but returned because she was too scared and feralish. Well.......just a few days with them and we say what are you talkin about???!!! This wonderful girl is ready for her forever home.

Go California!!!!!

AB 867, the California Declaw Prohibition Bill, just passed a concurrence vote in the California State Assembly. The vote was 74-0.
The bill now goes to the Governor
The Paw Project is extremely grateful for our excellent, passionate, and compassionate author, Assemblymember Alex Lee, his Legislative Director Andrew White, and our tireless advocate Gary Cooper.

Happy Caturday! 🐾
We have so many wonderful cats and kittens patiently waiting for their forever homes.

At Richardsons Rescue, all of our rescues live in loving foster homes—not cages—where they’re cared for like family until adoption day. This foster-based system allows us to truly get to know each cat’s personality, quirks, and needs, making it easier to match them with the perfect family.

If you’re ready to add a new furry friend to your life, visit richardsonsrescuerva.org and fill out our simple online adoption application today!

Meet Brando & Bianca – a pair of 13-year-old littermates who came to us after the heartbreaking loss of their mom. These two are absolute gems: gentle, loving, and incredibly easy to care for.

Brando is a sweet boy who will politely ask for extra pets, though he’s happiest just being near his person. Bianca, with her stunning blue eyes, has a soft voice and enjoys chatting with you from time to time. Like her brother, she adores attention and companionship.

Bianca was recently diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, but she takes her daily medication like a champ—and Richardsons Rescue will cover the cost of her meds for her adoptive family.

These two are wonderfully low-maintenance and full of love. While they don’t need to be adopted together, our dream is to see them share the rest of their lives in the same forever home. Whoever welcomes them in will be truly rewarded with endless affection.

Fostering perk 👌🏼🤭 Kitty cuddles around the clock.

Do you know how many volunteers it takes to bring one cat or kitten to “ready” status?

A BUNCH!

We are beyond grateful for the outpouring of generosity in response to our kittens’ food request!

Thanks to the kindness of our incredible community of supporters, our shelves are now fully stocked, and our little ones like Oscar (pictured below) will have the nourishment they need to grow strong and healthy 🙌🏼

We truly could not continue this lifesaving work without you. Our hearts are so touched by your compassion and constant support.

Oftentimes it takes a village and we sure do love ours!! Thank you!!! ❤️🐾
