Founded in 2021, Red Rose Animal Rescue is a registered animal rescue service operated by a mother-and-son team based in Rochester, Washington, serving the Pacific Northwest. The organization specializes in caring for and rehoming domestic cats, kittens, and neonates alongside dogs and puppies. They provide dedicated rescue, foster, and adoption programs to give vulnerable companion animals a voice and permanent homes.
Red Rose Animal Rescue is open Week Days: 08:00am–5:30pm; Saturday: 08:00am–4:00pm and serves Rochester, Washington and the Pacific Northwest (PNW).
Applicants must complete an application specifying pet preferences, household info, veterinarian contact, and residence type. Adopters must agree never to declaw adopted cats, understand rescue history may be unknown, commit to a gradual 3-week introduction process for existing pets, and be prepared for a 15 to 20+ year commitment.
Interested adopters can view available cats and kittens and submit an online adoption application. Applications are processed as received, with placements determined based on the best interest of both the animal and the applicant. If within the first 30 days an adopter decides not to keep the pet, they can return the animal for a full refund; after 30 days, pets can still be surrendered back, though refunds are not guaranteed.
Red Rose Animal Rescue strictly prohibits declawing. Adopters must sign an agreement promising never to subject adopted cats to declawing, citing that it is inhumane and causes severe medical and behavioral issues.
If you decide within the first 30 days not to keep the animal, you can contact the rescue to return the pet for a full refund. After 30 days, the animal can still be surrendered back to Red Rose Animal Rescue, though refunds are not guaranteed.
They recommend a gradual transition: keep the new pet completely separate during the first week, introduce slow monitored interactions during the second week, and allow free roaming together by the third week.
Red Rose Animal Rescue is open on weekdays from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM and on Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
If an adopter decides within the first 30 days to not keep the adopted animal, they can contact Red Rose Animal Rescue to return the animal for a full refund. After 30 days, owners can still contact the rescue to surrender the animal back, but refunds are not guaranteed depending on timespan and reason.
