JanineTheBean Rescue, Inc.

My cat rescue is different from most. I TNR (trap, neuter & return) cats in one of the city’s poorest & crime riddled areas, I am a one woman band. I have been doing this for over 20 years funded out of my own pocket. I start my day at 3:45am every day, 365 days a year, feeding 100+ cats at over 24+ locations in the Beechwood section of the City of Rochester. In addition to this I hold down a full time job. I spend over $250 a week in food and every week in the Spring and Summer months I trap 2 cats to get them neutered/spayed and vaccinated at a cost of another $180. I have done this on my own dime to the tune of $12,000 a year. I received my 501c3 in August 2016 with the help of some volunteers. Animal Control does not have a policy with dealing with stray/feral cats and without rescues like me the cat population would get out of control and cats would suffer. I am trying to get the cats all fixed so that the population will not increase but I cannot do it alone. I have only so much financial resources and not enough fosters or volunteers. These cats depend on me as their only source of food for the day. I supply them with shelters and also trap sick/injured cats and get them the care that they need. If they are adoptable I will find homes for them and if they are sick I will get them the help they need. I am the only one that cares for them and show them any love. Life on the streets is a death sentence for them especially in this neighborhood. Many of these cats can become house pets if I only had the financial resources and fosters to help them. I can sure use help!!! If you would like to become a foster or volunteer your time please send us a message at janinethebeanrescue@gmail.com
