What Drives Us

Our Mission

The mission of 2nd Chance Fur-Babies Animal Rescue is to assist with the rescue and placement of abandoned or injured domestic or wild animals. Currently we are only working with cats and dogs, but our formal mission statement for the state of DE includes other animals as we intend to grow and expand.

Fur Babies rescues cats and dogs from many different situations. All are dewormed and receive a distemper shot the first day in our care if they are an appropriate age. All will be scheduled for spay/neuter/rabies vaccination. Our goal is to provide loving pets to individuals or families who promise to treat them like they are part of the family.

We also have feral cats spayed & neutered from cat colonies. Our preference is to relocate these colonies to working farms or loving families living in a safe place for outdoor cats. The feral cats are not usually suitable for indoor living, but we have had some lovely families that have acclimated their feral cats to indoor life and it is a beautiful thing to see. Some feral cats can be tamed and are perfect house cats and great companions to people and each other. They often don’t like to be petted, but they will still hang out on a daily basis. It is okay to have a pet who believes in social distancing. It is also very rewarding to give them a safe and loving home.
