"The mission of Pawsitively SAFE (Saving Animals From Euthanasia) is to operate as a non-profit organization dedicated to create a NO-KILL society, humanely reducing the number of cats and dogs euthanized in the public shelters". We are dedicated to this mission, and are ready to do the work needed.
PAWSitively S.A.F.E. (Saving Animals From Euthanasia) is a non-profit animal rescue dedicated to saving animals lives. We save them from the streets and shelters of east Contra Costa County.
We work diligently in east county neighborhoods that need help with community cats. We provide Spay and Neuter assistance for pet cats and (TNR) for community cats, as well as get kittens off the streets and into our foster kitten program. We always fix the moms and the colonies from where we rescue kittens. All kittens in our program are fixed, vaccinated, and given medical care and socialization. Once kittens are ready for placement, we arrange transfer and transport into other rescue organizations, including Tony La Russa's Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF).
We also work with Antioch Animal Services helping with Return-To-Field (RTF). RTF is a lifesaving concept that's gaining ground in the No-Kill movement. The approach is to take healthy unowned community cats that end up in the shelter, that due to their temperament, would otherwise be euthanized, and fix and vaccinate them and return them to their neighborhoods where they were trapped.
By doing both TNR and RTF we can help improve the lives of shelter animals. RTF directly creates more space and resources for other animals in the shelter and TNR keeps others from entering the shelter.
We are a non-profit 01(c)(3) animal rescue organization (EIN 81-1158380). All your donations are tax-deductible. We are a completely volunteer-run organization so you can rest assured that 100% of your donation goes directly to helping the animals.
