Act 2 Rescue has been so amazing to me and the kitties I'm fostering! Short backstory, my grandmother had a stray cat give birth to a litter of kittens under her house. The whole backyard was then infested with fleas and so were the kitties. My grandmother was going to relocate them to a different neighborhood and I couldn't live with the idea of that, so I took them. I've always considered myself a "dog person" and quite honestly never trusted cats... but as I started visiting Mindy at Act 2 Rescue and as she started feeding me knowledge about the kittens, I've started to absolutely love and understand them(and now they trust me too!). Because of Mindy, these kitties are safe, healthy, and I've found a new love for cats in general! Thank you Mindy and Act 2 Rescue for everything you guys do and the guidance you've given me!

Act 2 Rescue helped me save these two kittens

Act 2 Rescue saves so many dogs and cats. They've compassionate and share their expert knowledge with anyone who needs advice about animals. They have personally help me with a cat who had kittens in my garage.

Mindy and Josie are such sweethearts! I met them at my school's resident association events. I'm so glad that I found out about their foster and sanctuary services so I can refer people to them. I love how friendly, caring, and enthusiastic they are about finding the perfect companion for people. I already have 3 cats and two dogs, so I can't take in anymore, but I will use them for their training services. I was so surprised to find out that Mindy trains cats!

I adopted a 1 year old cat, Baby, from Mindy as a gift for my retired mother. Baby is well-behaved and fully bathroom trained. You can tell Mindy takes pride in her cats. However, what truly set her apart is that she transported Baby to her future home to assist with the initial transition. This helped ease Baby in as well as offer peace of mind to my family. I would definitely recommend Mindy to friends and family.

I'm currently fostering from them and they been really supportive and truly care for their cats, and they were really understanding when I dropped a pricey medicine

Ask the Community - Act 2 Rescue

Are you looking to hire?

We are volunteer run. So we are always looking for volunteers but do not have the size or financial ability to bring on employees at this time.

I have 2 sister cats I've had since kittens. I am now starting to travel and they are home alone lots and my girls have to come over and feed them all the time when I'm gone so not fair to these 2 loveable sisters. Can you find them a home?

It is best to hire people to come in to spend time with them. Sadly most people prefer kittens and adult cats spend long time waiting on new families.

Is this a no kill shelter?

We are not a shelter. We are a foster-based rescue. We do have a couple of cats that we have been unable to adopt out the best way to support. Due to being no kill, we need donations to cover expensive medical needs and help with transferring costs… Read more

I have 5 abandoned kittens that I'm not able to care for. Mom hasn't been seen in days and kittens were crying non stop in my wall. I pulled them out and started feeding them but I'm not able to do so much longer. Are you open to taking them?

We are only able to take kittens when we have fosters. Sadly our local shelter euthanizes thousands of kittens a year. As a small rescue group, we help everyone we can but don't have enough volunteers to answer all calls, emails, & posts here. We do… Read more

Is the Simese one laying down with other kitten ready to go yet? And what the deal on how it done?

Yes Neni Pop is ready for adoption and you'll need to contact Act 2 for the adoption

Will you guys be willing to take in 3 juvenile kittens?

Unfortunately we are full. We can assist with low cost shots, spay appt and trying to get them homes but cannot take them. You can try looking on petfinder where they list local rescues. Sadly, there’s just more than we can help. Thank you for being… Read more

Does this rescue need clean blankets and 4 dog beds? Can I come by tomorrow with my husband to drop…

Hi! I am a foster for Act 2 Rescue. We always need donations. Blankets and beds would be greatly appreciated.

I returned to the location to see if they can help me install the bulb , and realizing the bulb was blown, the gentleman at the cash register tried to help as best he could, but was unsuccessful. He then called Ashley,she was busy helping another guest with purchasing hamsters, she radioed over she would come help soon as she can. When she came up and greeted me I explained everything and we proceeded to get a new kit, I asked her if she could politely install the bulb for me as I was having a hard time installing it. She gladly did and explained and showed me how to change future bulbs. She was very kind and it shows she genuinely loves her job! She was awesome!

Before today's incident, Petco was my go-to spot for grooming. But today I was extremely…read moredisappointed with my recent experience at the grooming salon. When I picked up my dog, I immediately noticed a fresh wound on her neck underneath her collar -- a wound that was not mentioned to me at all. When I brought it up, two of staff acted confused and was told that the main girl who did the grooming informed me about it, which was not the case. Even when I received a call saying she was ready for pickup, I was told that her nail was chipped...but nothing about this wound. As a pet owner, transparency is the bare minimum. Accidents can happen, but hiding them or pretending they didn't occur is unacceptable. Instead of informing me so I could properly care for it. The lack of accountability, communication, and honesty is enough for me to not return. If they can't be upfront about something as important as an injury, I don't feel comfortable trusting them with my dog again. I hope they take responsibility and improve their practices, but based on this experience, I cannot recommend this place.

I've been a loyal customer here for almost 2 years and even though I've since moved away, I still…read morehappily make the 3-hour round-trip drive just to get all my birds and supplies here. I breed birds as a hobby and this is my go-to place for everything I need. I recommend this store on social media bird groups and to everyone else I meet who need cages, food, and supplies. The quality and prices are unbeatable. A lot of my friends and family come here I won't feed my birds anything other than magnolias seed. A 25-lb bag of high quality parakeet food is around $17 here, and I can even get 50-lb bag for about $30. You won't find prices like that anywhere else, and even the most expensive seed online or at big-box pet stores doesn't come close in quantity or quality and will cost you 4x as much. On the rare occasion I've run out and had to buy seed elsewhere, my birds wouldn't even touch the dyed and pesticide filled garbage from the big stores. Their nest boxes are also the absolute best! My birds will only lay eggs in their boxes for some reason. They are thoughtfully and well made and even have concave bottoms ! Over time I've bought about 15 cages here, along with 3 stands, dozens of nest boxes, a lot of birds, toys, water and food dispensers, medicine, supplements and accessories. I've been here well over 30 times and have spent thousands of dollars. Everything I have bought has held up great! No regrets. All birds are still healthy and breeding. The older gentlemen you will find here has been an absolute godsend. His knowledge and willingness to help with advice has saved many of my birds and helped me reach my breeding goals. He's truly the go-to person for anything bird-related, but just walking through the aviaries to see the beautiful birds here, is worth the drive alone. The only kink in this place is, as you'll see in other reviews, is the older ladies at the registers can be rude and dismissive. If you have thin skin, there is one lady in particular who might really hurt your feelings. The first time we came in, my husband and I almost walked out leaving $300 of merchandise/birds on the counter because she rolled her eyes and scoffed at us when we couldn't find the location of a product. She then made us feel like 2nd class citizens during the entire checkout process. My husband and I still laugh about it because it was so bizzare. Anyhow, I am a die hard loyal customer and it's still the same thing everytime I go to that register. Though its felt personal at times, I've learned that this is likely not the case. She was the same way to my best friend and my sister when they came in to buy things for their birds . This place is old school in that way so don't take it personal or waste your time feeling offended. Put your feelings in your pocket before you go to the register and don't miss out on this gem for bird lovers. Magnolia bird farm is hands down the only place I recommend for bird supplies and birds.

It has been a very difficult time for my cat Bastu…read more However, I have found the facility to be very nice, and Bastu received prompt assistance for her problems! First, she was hospitalized for 24 hours. While there are still some things that I am trying to understand, the IV support made a big difference in her health. My understanding is that this is very important for cats with pancreatis. After going some time without eating, I could tell that she felt better after each treatment with fluids. I have not yet had a follow-up visit with my local vet to check Bastu's PrecisionPSL values. However, from two follow-up visits to CAEC, I can say that Bastu's SDMA values have returned to normal (after she was prescribed felimazole, and successful delivery of that medication for 3 days lead to more severe problems). The spike in BUN values from 21 (before felimazole) to 72 (after felimazole, and then decreased diet to the point of not eating any food) was reversed to 13 after treatment at CAEC (a little below normal, instead of very high above normal). While I am looking into more details (such as waiting to see if my Bastu is capable of returning to normal health) before following the procedures on the FDA website (https://www.fda.gov/animal-veterinary/report-problem/how-report-animal-drug-and-device-side-effects-and-product-problems), my understanding is that my cat has a pre-existing kidney problem. The elevated T4 levels (used to define a diagnosis for hyperthydroidism) represented the body's defense for those kidney problems - high T4 can cause problems in itself, but the underlying kidney problems can also cause additional problems. Thank you very much - while improvement has been slow, Bastu and I certainly appreciate the help within the last week!
