     I was fostering a beautiful ragdoll, declawed cat. She was having 'problems' fitting in with new people. She is an inside cat and very shy and reserved, not a typical 'lap cat', but very sweet. The Rescue Me! website was responsible for helping me rehome her within a week. I couldn't believe how fast I got responses to my post! THANK YOU! Anne Faith

     Thank you so much for supplying a forum that would allow a wonderful person to pair up with an exceptional cat. When Tonya saw Desi, she fell in love with him. He's adjusting, of course, but it looks very promising. I'm just so happy that he has found a new home. :)

     Thank you Jeff Gold and Rescue Me! I was dubious about posting Jingles on the Internet initially, but with all other options exhausted, I went ahead. The first day she was posted on Rescue Me, I received several inquiries and they just kept coming. I thought with her advanced age that people would not want to help. My faith in people's kindness and willingness to help is intact. This is a wonderful service! My sweet old lady has a fantastic new forever home with an amazing lady. Many, many thanks again!

     I am writing to let you know that the Rescue Me organization helped me find a new home for my Ragdoll cat Cupcake. Our family loved Cupcake but new family members were allergic to her and it became necessary to find her a new home. I posted a request on a Wednesday and she had a new home on Thursday. I met the woman who adopted her and I knew that she was a loving caring person who I could trust to love and take care of Cupcake. It is such a comfort to know that there is an organization who will help find loving homes for family pets. Thank you for all of your help. Becky Clark

     Dear Mr. Gold, I posted the picture of my kitten just today and it was a success! The family that came to rescue him loved him right away. He will be missed and I also loved him dearly. GOD bless your organization for your willingness to help others find homes for their animals that might otherwise not have anyone who would care for them due to whatever their circumstance might have been. I will tell everyone that I know who might have a pet or know of someone who has a pet that needs a loving home about your website. Merry Christmas and a happy new year. GOD bless you and your family.

     'Rescue Me' helped my husband and I find the purrrrrrfect pet! Not only did we find a sweet addition to our family, we met wonderful people who we now call friends. When I first saw TC I knew there was something special about him and when I read his story I could not wait to meet him! Having to put two of our own cats to sleep left an emptiness in our hearts that was difficult to bare. Losing a pet can be like losing a child and for us it was. 'Rescue Me' made our search easy and now we have a ragdoll cat to love and call our own. Although TC lives in our home, the connection with his first family will never be broken. Not only does TC have us to take care of him, but his first family will be there to answer questions and help with the transition to his new home. Thank you 'Rescue Me' for bringing sunshine to our lives and for taking away the pain of loss that clouded our days. Thank you for TC.

     Thank you Rescue Me! You helped us find a new loving home for Micah... We knew we were using the right service the second we saw the website. So many Ragdolls lovingly adopted, this was definitely the place to find a new home for Micah. Micah's new home is with a wonderful woman named Linda. Rescue Me! made the whole process so painless. Thank you!

     Ramses was adopted to a wonderful home to a lovely lady. I had posted this for a friend and received many replies. The adopter called me the very first day he was posted. I work with a rescue and many cats pass through my email every day. My wish is to find homes for all of them. Thanks much for helping this cat who desperately needed someone to love and care for him.

     I was very sad to let go of my precious Tiki who kindly shared the first few years of her life with me. She'll always have a place in my heart. Thank you, Jeff, for your wonderful site. It took me a while to find Rescue Me!, where I felt comfortable advertising Tiki. Now she has three people to love and cherish her.

     Today Mr. Rosebudd went to his new kitty Daddy. This cat is going to be 4 years old, someone who careless threw him in a snowbank as a kitten. He survived pneumonia, caliciviris but is robust and the best cat ever. He has a ragdol's heart and with all that he's been through, deserves a long and loving life. I am fortunate to have found a new home for him thanks to your adoption service. Always in the cat's best interest, so thank you so much!

     I cannot thank you enough for helping me find a home for two ragdoll cats I had received when my father passed away. We were lucky enough to find a wonderful caring young lady and her family to make certain that my dads cats would be loved and hugged. I was soo worried about them as I am allergic and have other animals that have medical needs, and could not keep them in the house. THANK YOU THANK YOU to you and our rescue!!


Sender: Sandra Tamburello     Date: August 16, 2012 _
     I was very surprised at the response I received so far and even without a photo, she was very interested in him. I had worried so much that he wouldn't find a loving home with someone who could care for him as he should be and was pleasantly surprised at finding the perfect match for my wonderful boy. A.K. went beyond what I had hoped for and I know she will be a wonderful MOM to him. Thank you for this site !! He had his forever home within a week!!!

     Hi Jeff, Within 24 hours of posting my Ragdoll, Bella, I received a request from a woman who had recently lost her Ragdoll to cancer. My Bella has been a very lucky lady to have found such a loving person. They hit it off wonderfully which lessened the pain of having to let her go. Her previous owner mislead me to believe Bella had been with other cats amicably. Bella did not want to share limelight with my other cat and time was not going to change her mind. In having to do what's best for our animals' well being, it was a difficult decision but knowing how well LG and Bella hit it off --- love at first sight --- it was the right choice. Thank you RescueMe.Org I am very grateful for a site like yours. Regards, Tricia

     I needed someone to 'foster' Sophie for me while I had a double-lung transplant in Florida, which should be approx. 6-9 months, to 1 yr. I have made contact, both via email, phone and personal contact with someone here that has taken on the project. There is also a Ragdoll in their family, so I know they're the right match. I cannot begin to tell you how much this service has helped me. My heart and mind were in great distress as I knew I couldn't take her to Florida with me and I just couldn't bear to let her go permanently. I know in my heart that the person I have chosen is just perfect for the job. Again, thank you so much for Rescue Me! It has been quite a blessing to Sophie and me. Sincerely, Norma Martin

     Thank you so much for all of you who responded about one of my cats, Sara. I got to speak several very nice people on the phone and am delighted to say that Sara has been adopted by a great young man and his wife. I truly appreciate Rescue Me! because our high kill shelter has been full several months. If there was not this site I would have had a hard time finding a home for this beautiful young lady that is going to give Dominic and his wife and of course Ms. Bebe (their baby Pomeranian) so much enjoyment. These economic times have been painful for everyone... to add insult to injury many of us are no longer able to care for our beloved pets. Thank you!

     I think Bella knew I listed her on Rescue Me! She stopped peeing on the carpet, and when the dog moved out, she became, once again, the perfect cat.

     Thanks Jeff. Oscar was adopted by a lovely woman who rescues problem cats and tries to rehabilitate them. She fosters cats, including kittens that need to be bottle fed, in Forsyth County, NC. Oscar would not use his cat box all the time, usually when he was annoyed by not getting his way. For example, when I went out the back door and he had to stay inside, he would express his opinion in front of the door. This little habit made him very hard to place in another home. I tried to find a good home for him for months. RescueMe was a last resort, and I'm so glad that you were available for Oscar. Mardell

     Hi Jeff - The RescueMe.Org site was a blessing, and I do intend to make a donation once my husband returns to work (laid of for winter) Anyway, within an hour of posting, I had 3 responses for my ragdoll, and after a weekend, I had six! I was able to choose what I thought was the best permanent home for Ben, and we found the perfect fit. I am now going to try placing Ben's former nemesis, Brom - as he doesn't seem to appreciate my tiny army of Burmese kittens either. And the Burmese are NOT going anywhere. Thanks again - Nan

     Scooter was adopted a week ago by a lovely lady in Santa Barbara. We miss him terribly but knowing that he is in a loving home makes us all very happy. The site was extremely helpful. In the beginning however, I was bombarded by a scam artist that would ask for shipping money, etc. (I saved all the emails if you ever need them). I then thought this was never going to work out then I got lucky with a few really nice sincere people. The wonderful woman who adopted Scooter has emailed me pictures of him in the new home and purchased a cute windowsill bed to look out the window. Thank you to everyone at Rescue me!!

     Hi Jeff, Chelsea is going to be adopted on Sunday by a lady I found from your website. I had a lot of people respond very quickly to my surprise. When I didn't see many cats posted I wasn't sure what kind of response I would get. Then the phone calls and emails came in from some of the nicest people. I was very impressed. I found Rescue Me from Google search. It is a very user friendly website. Thank You and Happy Holidays Holly Burghardt

     Jeff- Spookie has found a new home. The new owner has a good heart and had previously owned a Ragdoll so she knows how loving they are. It was hard to list him but I was encouraged because it was a Ragdoll site! Thanks for your work - I will send a donation with pleasure. Once finding your website it was so easy to list him - your directions were great because I am NOT computer literate! Again, thanks for your help. The new owner has already called me with updates on his trip and his adjustment to his new home. I am hoping she will keep in contact with me in the future also. Sandra

     Hello Jeff - I am pleased to tell you that both Mandu-Kat and Abaco have found a new home. I am very grateful to Rescue Me!, and I never imagined that I would be able to find a home for my girls as easily as I did. I posted their photos and information on Saturday morning, and I had 2 inquiries within hours. Another came to me on Sunday. Since then, I have received calls from 4 additional families. This is a traumatic time for both the cats and me, and the kind folks who called were all quite helpful. This is a wonderful service, and I wish you all the best in the future. - Mary White

We met with the couple and visited with them and Belle and Belle took to them almost immediately. The wife had tears in her eyes when we finally agreed that they were right for each other. Thank you for your interest in making sure that Belle found a good home. Sincerely, The Nassif's
