About Us

Hello community members! Thank you for stopping by our site! I am the Founder and Director of Lifesaving Pet Rescue.  I personally TNR cats in my community and neighboring towns. I work to educate the community and provide training, and assistance with Trap, Neuter, Return as well as feral colony feeding and medical care.  I work as the admin monitoring request that come into our organization for assistance. I arrange TNR appointments and provide transportation to the TNR locations. I  provide guidance to those who have found cats and need direction.

Those interested in providing a forever home to a cat or kitten currently in foster care are invited to check out the Lifesaving Pet Rescue of Chester County Facebook page started by Josie Davis of Atglen.

Davis fosters for pets and decided to start the page as way to find homes for her rescues. Currently, Davis fosters cats for Angie's Stray Foundation, founded by Ruth Jenkins of Oxford; Centerville Pet Rescue; and the Pet Pantry of Lancaster County.

"I foster for Ruth, which is essentially how I got started," Davis explained. "Ruth also volunteered at LaMancha (Animal Rescue of Coatesville) and we connected through there. I have been fostering for three years and Ruth has been doing this for 20 years. I do the Lifesaving Pet Rescue (page) to let the community know who is available for adoption."

Featured on the page right now is Teddy Bear, an older cat who is up to date with vaccines, has been neutered and is feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) and feline leukemia virus (FELV) negative. "He was found living under a porch in Parkesburg," said Davis. "He is a sweet old boy who loves to sit next to you on the couch. He uses the litter box without issue. Teddy deserves a forever home; I hope he can find his person."

Also available is Willow, a 7-month-old neutered male who is up to date on vaccines. "He has been in foster care since he was small. He is really in need of a forever home," said Davis.

Those interested in adopting Teddy or Willow must complete an application and provide personal and veterinarian references. Those who adopt a pet are asked to make a suggested donation. "I have an application (through) Angie's Stray Foundation. (Ruth) named the rescue in honor of her late dog, Angie," Davis noted.

The Facebook page also features other animals offered for adoption through the Brandywine Valley SPCA, among other rescue groups. "I try to help network," noted Davis. "You want to see (the pets) do well."

Davis said that because of COVID-19, the kitten population has increased because some spay and neuter programs ceased operations during the pandemic. "Last year was so bad. I had (so many foster) kittens," she shared. "I just adopted out my last kitten from last season. I had her (since) September and was super attached, but I have my own cats and there are always more cats to foster."
