Lifelong Comfort and Care for Every Cat
So many of our cats that come to Healing Hope are street cats that have endured much before they are rescued. This poor boy, named Morgan Benjamin, came to us with a serious eye injury and other problems. The eye had to be removed, and he also had a number of really bad teeth (removed), and he tested positive for FIV. He also developed bone spurs in his spine. After a few years of being here, the spot on his nose became cancerous, and due to his age, we decided to let him go. But for the few years he was here, he had a lovely pain-free existence, where he had the best food and lived very safely and comfortably.
Introduction to Our Sanctuary Work
We welcome you to our Healing Hope Cat Sanctuary website. Here you will find a bit about our 25 years of work saving cats. Fifteen of these years we have been a licensed, not-for-profit organization and sanctuary.
Providing Safe Homes for Special Needs
First, we have provided a safe, long-term, and often permanent home for special-needs felines. These are cats that, in most cases, no other rescue group or individual wants, as they are considered unadoptable. These include cats with chronic or incurable health issues, elderly felines, those with behavioral problems, and even feral or semi-feral felines. We have a very large outdoor area that is totally safe and secure. Cats that need to be outdoors (some of our ferals and cats that are chronic “sprayers”) can live out there with comfort and freedom.
Rescuing Cats From Local Neighborhoods
Secondly, for many years, we rescued and helped save cats from the streets of San Clemente, Dana Point, and other South Orange County cities. We started feral colonies for those cats that were not adoptable and diligently maintained them. Sadly, over the last seven years or so, our local neighborhoods have been inhabited by many coyotes. We are no longer able to have feral cat colonies.
Expanding Support Across Southern California
Thus, over the last seven-plus years, we have branched out to help cats from other parts of Southern California. We help our fellow rescuers in various cities/locations. And we have saved a number of unadoptable cats from some of the big high-kill shelters.
Limited Adoption Opportunities Available Now
Most of the time, we have only a few adoptable cats. Please check the appropriate page on this site to see who is currently available. Also, feel free to email us at any time to inquire about cats that may be available.
