Hi there, I'm Alphonso P. Wallabee and I work for Siamese Cat Rescue Center (SCRC). SCRC has a shelter facility located in Locust Dale, VA, about 1.5 hours southwest of Washington DC and 45 miles west of Fredericksburg, and foster homes throughout the Eastern US, from Florida to New Hampshire to Indiana & Tennessee. The shelter is open by appointment only, Monday through Sunday. Because our turnover of cats is so great, we suggest you complete the adoption paperwork prior to coming to visit, as we can't hold cats for folks unless they are approved adopters.
(Select How to Adopt on the left Navigation bar for adoption details)
The shelter houses up to 50 cats at a time, in a home-like environment, where the cats are allowed to roam freely within the facility following a 7-10 day isolation period. Another 100 cats are located with Fosters in 18+ states throughout the Eastern US. All cats have been tested for FeLV and FIV, vaccinated for rabies and distemper, and spayed or neutered. Daily interaction with these cats enables us to be successful (2.5% return rate, 100% placement rate) in matching personalities of these cats with adoptive homes' expectations and situations.
We encourage you to come visit if you can. Choosing a cat in person not
only allows you to get to know your new family member first, but also gives
you some information as to the background from whence they come (i.e. the
Shelter) and our philosophy and approach to things. Of course, be expected
to be asked to pitch in 15 minutes or so! Assistance is desperately needed
with all aspects of the shelter environment - from scrubbing litter pans
to building shelves to filling retail orders to cuddling cats. We could
really use your help, so please consider allotting a time period every so
many weeks to help out! Before you come, please check the Center's wish
list. Many of these items may be lurking in your garage or attic and could
save us significant funds if you can donate them. This is truly a team
effort, where we would like every one of our adopters to help in some form
or another!
Please feel free to email us at any time with questions or concerns. Please
do understand that while we're at the Rescue full time, 15-18 hours a
day 7 days a week, there is no way to keep up with the large number of
inquiries, phone calls, faxes and letters we receive each day. If at first
you don't get a reply, or questions aren't answered, please persist.
We work hard to continually improve both our cat care and customer
service, and hope you will be understanding and supportive in our
efforts - with team work we can be far more effective and far reaching
than alone!
Thanks for visiting our site, and for caring enough to make a difference!
