RAPS operates on the belief that all lives are valuable, and all animals deserve loving forever homes. It is run by over 200 compassionate volunteers and a highly specialized team of veterinarians and animal rescue workers. Their cat sanctuary, which houses hundreds of abandoned and surrendered cats, even features an area accommodating cats with leukemia and FIV—conditions that would lead to euthanasia at many other facilities.
