    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!

    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!

    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.

    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… 

    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… 

    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… 

    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.

    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.

He also took the time to give me a ton of useful information about creating a proper home and caring for the mantis. Nathan was knowledgeable, patient, friendly, and genuinely seemed interested in making sure I had everything I needed instead of just trying to sell me something. That kind of customer service is hard to find. Petco management should absolutely know what a great employee and representative they have in Nathan. He made the entire experience great, and I'll definitely be coming back to this location because of him. Thanks again, Nathan!

In such a devastating and heartbreaking moment, the staff and doctors at Corona Animal Emergency Center were absolute angels. From the second we walked through the door, they treated us and our sweet dog with the utmost dignity, gentleness, and profound compassion. They did not rush us at all; instead, they gave us all the time and space we needed to say our final goodbyes, explaining the entire process with so much empathy and care. While our hearts are completely broken, we are endlessly grateful for the tenderness and kindness the staff showed during our baby's final moments. They made an incredibly painful experience as peaceful, respectful, and comforting as it could possibly be. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the incredible grace and care you provided.

I wouldn't even consider this place a vet, more like a money making sceme and they know it. They just straight take advantage of people and their pet emergencies. Also, they take the upmost advantage knowing that they are the only business in the area that is open 24hrs. The prices are through the roof and won't even start any sort of treatment or care without payment. I even had insurance that covers accidents for my fur baby and they refused to acknowledge it. I have two dead cats because of these "vets" and they could care less. My first cat I brought in because he was acting funny, it was late about 2am. they said it was Parvo. I said I wanted to get a second opinion and that i need to go to protect my cats at home, just give me my cat back. well they sat me in a room , for over an hour, then vet came in and told me i she wont treat without payment and the parvo shpiel. I said just give me my cat back, waited another hour. then they brought him out to me with a bunch of shavings and IV wounds and while the nurse was handing him to me she handed me a bill. i didnt even look at it but said Im not going to pay for this, i didnt consent or sign anything. il send it to insurance in the morning and they threatened to call animal control on me for neglect and abuse.Well My cat later died that night from the does of poison they gave my cat for the euthenasia they charged me for come to find out. Last night a baby kitten got attacked by three german shepards so I rushed her over to their clinic. I relinquished her as a stray and they said have a nice day. I asked the lady up front how do they handle strays or unknown owner status pets? She told me they get a grant to run tests and treat the pet in emergancey situations then let animal control take over. Well I show up at the animal shelter and the cop told me the clinic sent zero paperwork and no tests were done on the poor baby and that if the owner claims the cat that the owner will pay for the vet bill.Im like what vet bills?! they didnt even do anything for the cat, she could be internally bleeding?! so everyone sucks and they are all just about the money. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR ANIMAL AND WILL OVER CHARGE AND UNDER SERVICE YOUR PET. THEY CALL THEMSELVES EMERGENCY BUT THEY DO THE BARE MINIMUM FOR THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.
