San Clemente, CA
Pet Project Foundation has partnered with the San Clemente-Dana Point Animal Shelter for nearly 40 years to rescue and rehome lost and abandoned animals from these coastal communities. Operating as an all-volunteer organization alongside the shelter, it maintains roughly a 99 percent adoption rate. Every cat, dog, and rabbit adopted is spayed or neutered and current on vaccinations, with adoption fees covering spay/neuter, a microchip, a vet exam, flea treatment, and deworming. Its adoption philosophy is conversation-based, with staff working closely with adopters to find the right fit. Pet Project Foundation reports donating over 25,000 volunteer hours annually to keep the shelter no-kill.
Cats $100-$150 depending on age (kittens under 4 months $150, cats/kittens 4 months or older $100)
