Dutchie and Renee Senior Cat Rescue Foundation

Dutchie and Renee Senior Cat Rescue Foundation The Dutchie and Renee Senior Cat Rescue Foundation is dedicated to assisting displaced older cats by helping find them foster and permanent homes. Dave & Lisa

Our objective is to assist senior cats who are turned into shelters for whatever reason and are in need of a foster or permanent home in which to spend their final years. Our love of older cats and our motivation to focus on senior and geriatric cats started with Dutchie and Renee, Dave’s faithful companions from years past, who left us at age 16 1/2 for kitty heaven in 2016. As both aged graceful

ly we witnessed their physical and psychological changes and the changes in their needs; when they got older both needed medicine and near the end, Renee also required fluid therapy which we willingly provided knowing that it extended and gave her quality of life. We realized that older cats with life still left in them could end up without someone to care for them through no fault of their own. Although most older cats do not require medical care, some do. Most recently, we adopted Maggie. At age 14, Maggie was surrendered by her owner to the Burlington County Animal Shelter. After seeing her picture, we decided to meet her which resulted in one more cat lucky enough to join the Lande family. After taking her home, we took Maggie for a wellness check and found out she had diabetes which explained why she was not feeling well. But we saw that once her diabetes was under control, she began to feel better and live a normal life. To control her diabetes, we give her insulin injections twice a day and she continues to live a healthy and happy life. We are currently looking for people who wish to foster senior and geriatric cats which will allow us to pull these older cats from local shelters. The obvious goal is to find permanent homes for these deserving older cats. Adopting an older cat has both benefits and drawbacks. Older cats have already lived most of their life so when a person adopts a senior or geriatric cat it is with the understanding that their newest furry companion may only be around for a few months or a few years at best (which also means that a person’s commitment to the cat is usually short term if that was an issue preventing someone from committing to adopt). Although many do not, some old cats may also have a medical condition that needs to be treated. Hey, if Dave and I can learn to give medicine, administer fluids and give insulin injections then anyone can! The most heartfelt benefit is that you have saved an older cat from a likely premature death in a shelter and in return you will receive unconditional love from a faithful companion! We are accepting donations to assist with things like adoption fees, medical screenings, and medical treatment. Be assured that all of your donation goes towards the beneficiaries of the Dutchie and Renee Senior Cat Rescue Foundation. We have paid and will continue to pay for all the foundations administration costs. If you wish to donate, please make checks payable to the Dutchie and Renee Senior Cat Rescue Foundation and send them to 88 Agress Rd, Millstone Twp, NJ 08535, or you can donate via PayPal to [email protected]. If you are interested in fostering, please feel free contact us at [email protected].

Roxy is losing her foster home this week and we are in a jam as I don’t have anyone to take her in. She’s a quiet girl who minds her business and doesn’t seem to mind other kitties. Can anyone help provide a temporary foster home while we try and secure a more permanent solution?

Rest in love sweet girl ❤️ 🌈 Additional tests revealed Gypsy had a cardiac episode which resulted in lack of oxygen I made the decision to let her go as there was nothing that could be done. This sweet girl spent the last year with us while she waited for her forever home. I didn’t know forever would be with me, how lucky I was to have loved this sweet girl. Thank you for sending your love her way.

Our Story

Started in March 2017 following the death of Dave’s beloved 16 year old cats that form the name, the Dutchie and Renee Senior Cat Rescue Foundation was created to assist older cats who are turned into animal shelters or who are losing their home (for whatever reason – we try not to be judgmental) and are in need of a foster or permanent home in which to spend their final years. Through Dutchie and Renee, we came to realize that older cats still have plenty of life left in them and that it was possible for an older cat to end up without someone to care for them through no fault of their own (the death of their pet parent, their family moved away, and so forth). Older cats in shelters are often overlooked due to the demand for kittens and other reasons such as failing health, resulting in a high rate of euthanasia. We are dedicated to saving as many older cats as we can and providing them with home full of love so that they can live out the rest of their days with dignity and happiness. We are not always successful and some of the older cats we rescue never leave their foster situation before they can be placed with their foster situation their last good-bye. But for the ones we successfully place, we take comfort knowing they found their forever home and that they will never again be alone.

We are always looking for people to adopt or foster older cats which allows us to pull older cats from local shelters where they do not do well. It is important to remember that older cats have already lived most of their life so when a person adopts an older cat it is with the understanding that their newest companion may only be around for a few months or a few years at best (which also means that a person’s commitment to an older cat is usually shorter). Older cats are generally calmer than kittens and younger cats and make better pets particularly for older persons. Adopting or fostering an older cat saves them from a likely premature death for which you will receive unconditional love from a faithful companion. If you wish to make a donation, please make checks payable to the “Dutchie and Renee Senior Cat Rescue Foundation” and mail them to 88 Agress Rd, Millstone Twp, NJ 08535, or you can donate via PayPal to [email protected]. All donations (100%) go towards the care of older cats pulled through the Dutchie and Renee Senior Cat Rescue Foundation as Dave and Lisa pay all administrative costs associated with the rescue. If you are interested in fostering, please feel free contact us at [email protected]. * The Dutchie and Renee Senior Cat Rescue Foundation is a 501c3 registered non-profit corporation so all donations are tax-deductible.

Thank you for your very kind support! Dave & Lisa Lande
