Directions Website Contact the organization

Richardsons Rescue 501(c)3 cat rescue organization dedicated to rehoming cats through our in-home foster care program. We are not a drop off shelter. It takes a village . . .

We're an active TNR group involved in community outreach, too. Any intake requests must be made through our website. Our volunteers reach out to members of the community in need of help with stray and/or feral cat overpopulation due to abandonment and neglect. We participate in Trap, Neuter, Return and pull as many cats or kittens we can with a good demeanor to rehome. It takes a village because without the help of the veterinarians and clinics, donations from the public, dedicated foster volunteers, and a caring community willing to adopt, we wouldn't be able to save so many lives. Thank you for doing your part.

Hi 👋🏼 Espurr here!

I don’t know why these people like to tell us scary bedtime stories 😱

Here I was, just minding my shy little business, snuggled up with a fleece blanket and my emotional support toy … and here she comes all “hey, Espurr! Want to hear a story?”

And I’m all “of course!” thinking it’ll be all churus and lasers, but nooooo … it’s mice who CHASE CATS 😳🫠

So, now I need a nightlight, a churu, and a minute alone 🤭

Aaaaanyway … if you’ve got a calm, patient home, I’m ready for someone to tell me less scary stories so I can stop making this face!!!

Come get me ASAP, please - Espurr

Hi 👋🏼 My name is Aemon!

I’m a nearly one year old *young* gentleman looking for a loving home with lots of treats and chin skritches.

Funny story … I was super skeptical about this new photographer lady’s intent at first (as evidenced by this photo) 👀

But turns out, Images by Ivey is actually A+. Look at my beautiful eyes and prominent whiskers even with my craaaaaned neck 🤭

I sniffed everything, rubbed on everyone, and decided she was visiting with good reason 💁🏻‍♀️

Anyway, I’m neutered, microchipped, UTD on vet care, and ready for my forever home.

If you can provide the snacks, I can provide the silky soft white fur and everything that comes with it 🙌🏼

How are these two not spoken for yet?! Seriously Lennox and Alomar are perfect! They are great kittens who would do well in a house with other cats or adopted together. Know anyone looking for sweet, cuddly, active, and playful kittens? Please share! These 4 month old sweethearts would love a home! They must be adopted together.

Hi 👋🏼 Verity again …

I’m still waiting … and the rain has me a bit blue.

I met a friend recently while in foster care and wanted to share a photo of us admiring the icky weather together 🙃

Are you ready to cuddle up in the bed with a good book? I promise to be ABSOLUTELY as in the way of the pages as possible 😉 I know just how helpful that is. My foster mom tells me all the time. At least, I think that’s what she’s saying.

I hope to meet you soon!

Hi 👋🏼 Verity again … still waiting for someone other than my foster family to think I’m purrrfect 🥹

Just look at my pose!

I’m trying sooooo hard. I need the RIGHT people to see me and everything I am and INSIST on choosing me.

Is it you?

I’ll chase a laser until we are both dizzy.

I’ll cuddle you alllll night … except when I need a little run around. But I’ll be right back! Promise 🥰

I’ll es**rt you to the bathroom whether -we- are brushing your teeth or you’re taking a potty break (time it for midnight and I’ll race you 🤭).

I’ll make small talk, then argue my point confidently and sweetly 😉

And I’m guaranteed to keep a smile on your face.

Have your people call my people ✌🏼 Tell a friend. Let’s work together to get me in my forever home, please.

Remember sweet Tulip? She finally got the happy ending we had been hoping and praying for. But back in their foster home, her sisters Baby’s Breath and Ivy are still waiting for someone to see them and say, “These are our girls.”

And honestly, we just don't understand how they are still waiting.

These two are SO incredibly loving. Every single night they crawl into bed with their foster mom and snuggle right underneath her chin. They make biscuits until their little paws are tired. They wrestle and chase each other around like tiny lunatics, and then somehow end up curled right back together looking for cuddles.

Baby’s Breath is cuddly, affectionate and playful. She can be a little shy at first, but once she knows you're safe, she melts. She loves sleeping beside her foster mom and wrestling with her sister.

Ivy is the outgoing one. She's curious, playful and always ready to come out and see who has arrived. But once she's done exploring, she wants her favorite thing… cuddles with her foster mom.

These girls were rescued from a wood pile when they were tiny. They know what it was like to be outside, and they know exactly how wonderful it feels to finally be safe, warm and loved.

At 5 months old, they have already been waiting far too long.

And maybe that's the problem. They aren't the tiny little babies anymore. They are growing up.

But they still have so much kittenhood left to live.

They still deserve someone who will scoop them up, kiss their little heads and promise them that they will never have to wonder where they belong again.

Give them just a little patience. Give them a little time to decide you're their person.

And they will give you everything.

The biscuits.
The cuddles.
The ridiculous kitten wrestling matches.
The purrs.
The companionship.
And two whole little hearts that will love you with everything they have.

Tulip got her happy ending.

Now it's Baby’s Breath and Ivy's turn. ❤️

Please share these girls. Their family is out there somewhere, and we desperately want them to find each other before these sweet babies grow up waiting in foster care.

Who is going to be the person who finally says, “I've been looking for you”? 🥺❤️
