September's Charity of the Month is… Clover Cat Rescue

September's 
Charity of the Month is…



nominated by Rebecca of KneeDeepOriginals

MiSSiON: While saving cats from euthanasia or other terrible fates is our mission, as is finding loving, permanent homes for foster cats in our care, our main goal is spay/neuter education and assistance. We are located in a rural area and constantly battle the overpopulation of cats, resulting in countless unwanted litters and stray animals that are left to fend for themselves.



Clover Cat Rescue saves cats from euthanasia at the local pound or takes them out of equally life threatening circumstances. The group places the cats in temporary foster homes or houses them at the CCR shelter until a forever-home is found. In addition to finding permanent homes for cats, Clover Cat Rescue places a strong emphasis on spay/neuter education & community action programs, such as spay/neuter sponsorships and helping catowning low-income members of the community with financial spay/neuter assistance.


The namesake of the group, Clover, is a wonderful cat owned by the rescue’s founder. Clover’s playfulness, good health and sweet disposition are the result of the terrific life she was lucky enough to find but only after an extremely hard start… 



Clover was found as a motherless kitten, wandering near a community campsite’s kitchen facilities, begging for food, yet finding no one kind enough to nourish her. She was constantly chased away by kitchen workers and treated as a nuisance, when all she wanted was food. Emaciated, scared and far from the pretty thing she is today, Clover won the heart of Tanja who rushed her to a veterinarian. Clover's chances were grim but in the coming weeks her health rebounded. She was socialized and was given a permanent loving home that Clover enjoys to this day.



Clover’s story is testament to what a difference rescue can make in the life of an animal, and how much of a difference we humans can make in the lives of our fellow beings. It’s the kind of difference that Clover Cat Rescue makes for countless cats and kittens in the Patrick County area who would have no chance otherwise. 


CLOVER CAT RESCUE IS A 501(C)3 NON-PROFIT RESCUE BASED IN STUART, VA (PATRICK COUNTY). WE MATCH SOCIALIZED CATS WITH THE PERFECT NEW HOME.
