About Us

Every Year We Save Over 500 Cats!!

Heavenly Paws Animal Rescue, Inc. is a 501 (c) non-profit, all-volunteer, no-kill feline rescue that was started in 2004 by Angeline Behrendt, a trained veterinary tech.

Our shelter is not a true brick and mortar shelter. We have a network of foster homes to take in and care for homeless cats until permanent, loving homes can be found, offering a second chance of a lifetime of love and happiness. We also strive to help humans understand the importance of controlling the pet population through spaying and neutering.

We rely on private and corporate donations to help fund our rescue operations and accomplish our mission. We do not receive any government funding and no one in our organization receives any of the money that comes into our shelter. All funds are used to properly operate the rescue and provide housing, treatment, and medical care for our cats and kittens.

We treated and saved many cats in challenging situations, including numerous cases of distemper, as well as other serious health problems, illnesses, injuries, and some of the most severe cases of neglect and abuse. All of our volunteers have pledged to rescue as many cats and kittens from the streets as possible with the space and funding we have available. We will always be committed to saving lives, one stray at a time!
