LCCR’s 10th Anniversary celebration has successfully advanced our mission to provide loving care to every cat that comes through the rescue while we find them permanent homes.
In June, the $10 off adoption fee promotion generated 68 adoptions, and media coverage over the last few months has raised awareness of LCCR in the community.
As we continue to mark this ten-year milestone and reflect on the many achievements, we acknowledge and thank our fosters, volunteers, adopters, partners, and supporters.
Loving Care Cat Rescue (LCCR) received its 501c3 on June 14, 2016, after its founder and director, Lisa Snyder, who was actively engaged in TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return), saw a need for resources to help friendly cats find loving homes. Over the last ten years, more than 7,000 cats have been saved by the all-volunteer, foster-based organization, which allows rescued cats to thrive in safe indoor homes until they find their forever homes.
After ten years, LCCR has more than 60 foster homes and 100 volunteers, and averages between 700 – 800 adoptions each year. Every adoptable cat/kitten is spayed/neutered and microchipped, and has received age-appropriate vaccines, FIV/FeLV testing, dewormer, flea/tick preventatives, and any medical or emergency treatment needed.
As LCCR celebrates ten years, we also celebrate our achievements:
- 60+ foster homes and 100+ volunteers
- Average of 250 cats in our care
- More than 800 cats/kittens taken in within the last year, with 82% of them strays from local communities
- More than 700 cats/kittens adopted last year
LCCR is also positively impacting two serious medical conditions; Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) and care for serious wounds. FIP is a viral disease caused by certain strains of the feline coronavirus.
Once considered a death sentence, early diagnosis and treatment changed this prognosis. LCCR has successfully treated more than 30 cats since 2021. LCCR’s Project Wound Care, launched in 2024, administers advanced wound care to cats in need by repurposing expired, donated, opened, or discounted human wound care products.
“As we face the overwhelming need created by an increasing number of cats and kittens suffering from abandonment, we pause to reflect on our achievements over the past ten years, which are directly attributed to the abundance of dedication and support from fosters, volunteers, adopters, partners, and supporters,” said Lisa Snyder, founder/director.
