Pilots to the Rescue Inc

Pilots To The Rescue is a non-profit animal rescue organization based in Brooklyn, New York, dedicated to preventing at-risk companion animals, including hundreds of cats, from being euthanized due to shelter overcrowding. By coordinating with volunteer pilots and rescue partners nationwide, they transport vulnerable pets via aircraft and vans from high-kill facilities to receiving shelters where they have a much greater chance of adoption. They serve overcrowded shelters and rescue partners across the East Coast and throughout the United States.

Fees, requirements & process

How it works

Pilots To The Rescue is an emergency animal transport service rather than a direct adoption agency. They fly and drive at-risk pets from overcrowded origin shelters to pre-arranged receiving shelters that manage final adoptions.

Surrendering a cat

PTTR does not take in or transport privately owned pets. Transports are reserved strictly for at-risk animals in danger of euthanasia being moved between registered animal welfare organizations, and every transport must have a confirmed receiving shelter in place.
