WE NEED A HOME! Trixie (mom) and Joey (baby) came to us as the result of a hotline call. Their angel told us that his neighbor was going to take his cat and her three kittens to the city shelter because he didn't want them any more. Not only is Trixie an excellent mother to Joey, but they are also best friends. They both play with each other like kittens. While Joey is a kitten of about 3-4 months, Trixie is not quite a year old herself. When they are not playing with each other, they are cuddling or following humans or other cats around to see what's happening.
Alexandra, who is orange and white, and Roo, who is a lovely tortoiseshell, are looking for a home together. Alexandra was discovered as a lone kitten wandering the streets; she's still a little shy, but once you gain her trust she is very sweet. Roo was found one rainy night with five new-born kittens. The little family was in a bad part of town and in terrible condition because someone had chopped off Roo's tail and the wound was infected. Roo is in the peak of health now and all her kittens have been adopted, but she's still waiting for her forever home. Both these beautiful cats are not much more than a year old, still kittens themselves. Because they've become fast friends in their foster home, they ask that you take them together. Bumper was found among a feral cat colony by the person who was managing that colony. It took no time at all to see that Bumper was anything but feral. In fact, it was clear that he didn't evenmuch like being outside! So he was taken in, and his rescuer would love to keep him, but Bumper needs to be an only cat. He absolutely loves humans, but looks upon other cats with a jaundiced eye. He's definitely a lap cat who loves to cuddle. Bumper would probably be happiest in a quiet home without lots of commotion. He would be a great companion for someone who is single or for a childless couple!! Ralph, a long haired tuxedo, and Arnie, a small black panther, were receiving food from a man who thought they were feral. Their caretaker was about to lose his house, and since he couldn't take them with him, he was terrified of what would happen to these two cats whom he loved. We trapped them and were going to introduce them into one of our feral colonies, but as it turned out, these two affectionate cats are not feral at all! Their fosterer says that they are two big love bugs who are just wonderful cats. Though we'd like to find them a home together, it's not absolutely necessary.
Ronin is a loyal and loving dog, very energetic, who needs a strong leader and one who understands large dogs. Ronin is good with submissive female or male dogs, but needs to be Mr. Alpha of the dogs. (Of course, his owner has to be Mr. or Ms. Alpha of the entire pack.) No cats please! He needs a home with a big back yard and someone who works from home; he also needs daily walks and lots of exercise; in fact he's great at soccer! Ronin is looking for someone who likes a challenge, who really wants to rescue a dog and save his life. Only alpha people need apply.
Biscuit is a beautiful apricot Toy Poodle. He was abandoned to fend for himself in a neighborhood marred by violence. Biscuit was rescued from a perilous fate by Voice For The Animals after a caring person contacted us. Because Biscuit was epileptic and unaltered, we provided him with the quality veterinary care that he so desperately needed. Biscuit's seizures have not ceased but have certainly lessened as he has now settled into a beautiful new life - with plentiful food, attention and a warm place to sleep in the home of his adoring foster parents. Biscuit is looking for a loving, attentive permanent home!!

Our Rescue, Rehabilitation and Adoption program was created as a safety net for elderly companion animals in jeopardy reported to our Animal Assistance Hotline. Although we always try to help people continue to care for their companion animals, there are times when that is impossible. The cats and dogs we take in are given medical attention and rehabilitation. While awaiting adoption, they are housed in local kennels or foster homes and are advertised on our specialized Petfinder website and in local newspapers. They are also shown at our Weekly Adoptions. See more Available Adoptees at Weekly Adoptions are Thank You To People interested in adopting one of our animals are asked to fill out a pre-adoption form. Our Director of Rescue and Adoption, Brianne Leavitt, will review the application, and then conduct a phone interview and a home check. Please call Brianne at (310) 392-5153 Ext. 3#. When an animal is adopted, the new guardian signs an adoption agreement, which states that an animal must be returned to Voice for the Animals if the guardian is unable to keep him/her at any time in the future. We have many great volunteers at our Weekly Adoptions. Learn more about joining us there to help the cats find forever homes.
We also have a continuing need for Foster Homes. This is ideal for those who wish to take care of cats or dogs, but who are unable to keep them permanently. Call Brianne at (310) 392-5153 Ext. 3# or Allison at (310) 392-5153 Ext. 4# to find out more. Also, more info on the Foster page. We would like to thank the following Fosters for their hard work and dedication:
