Central Virginia Regional Rescue is an all-volunteer, foster-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization serving Lynchburg, Forest, and surrounding areas in Central Virginia. Dedicated to eliminating euthanasia through rescue, rehabilitation, and education, they provide foster care, medical treatment including FeLV/FIV testing, spay/neuter services, and Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) assistance for community cats.
Applicants must complete an application thoroughly, provide landlord/leasing approval or home ownership verification via public records, and provide veterinary contact information to verify care history for current and previous pets. Adopters must sign an adoption contract and participate in an introduction/meet-and-greet, as animals are not shipped or transported.
Interested adopters begin by submitting an online application. Applications are thoroughly reviewed by volunteers, including property/landlord checks and veterinary reference checks for current/past pets. Once approved, the foster caregiver contacts the applicant to discuss fit and coordinate a meet-and-greet before finalizing the adoption contract.
Central Virginia Regional Rescue does not have a physical shelter facility; all animals reside in volunteer foster homes. Prospective adopters must first submit an application, after which a meet-and-greet is scheduled with the foster home once approved.
All animals receive recommended vaccinations, FeLV/FIV testing for felines, monthly parasite control, spay or neuter surgery, and microchipping.
Puppies and kittens born in care are generally listed on the website at 4 to 6 weeks of age for pre-adoption, and they are able to go to their adoptive homes between 8 and 12 weeks of age.
