Cat Care Fair Lakes PetsMart Adoption Center

Overview

Fancy Cats Rescue Team is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The Fancy Cats Rescue Team is a passionate leader in the animal rescue community with over 25 years experience. Founded in August 1997 by Cathy Awad, Fancy Cats now has Pet Smart Adoption Centers and partners with Mount Purrnon Cat Cafe & Wine Bar. We provide adoption, rescue and education services by finding suitable lifetime homes for our cats, rescuing cats on death row at local shelters and educating the public on responsible pet ownership.

We aspire to offer in-house spay and neuter services. We live by our core values of integrity in all our dealings; compassion for all life; respect for our cats, our constituents and each other; and teamwork. We are responsive to our donors, adopters, volunteers and the public. Our volunteers and staff are recognized for their responsibility, dedication, knowledge and helpful service.

We provide these services for cats that would otherwise be euthanized, potential adopters, donors, local animal shelters, and our community.
