This Cat Rescue Is At Risk Of Being Forced To Shut Down In Less Than 3 Months
Rexburg, Idaho. Superhero Animal Rescue is a nonprofit, volunteer-run adoption center in Rexburg, Idaho.
Their mission is to create a safe living environment for cats and kittens who are stray or have been neglected by their owners.
They do things a bit differently than most animal shelters. While aiming to make sure each animal is loved and cared for, they also allow them free reign to roam around the home and socialize with other cats!
Volunteers come in and out daily to help run the shelter and provide extra comfort and care to the animals.
Unfortunately, in less than three months, their building will no longer be eligible to rent out.
“Each year, the rescue takes in, rehabilitates, and finds loving homes for hundreds of cats that might not have a chance otherwise. Superhero prioritizes vaccination and spay/neutering of cats before they are adopted by their families. We are a no-kill program, taking in and accomodating cats from all sorts of circumstances.”
At first, their main objective was to take in pregnant mommas and newborns in hopes of saving them from other shelters that would put them down or wouldn’t bother to have them for convenience’s sake.
Unfortunately, with how overcrowded shelters already are within the area of Rexburg, closing this rescue would be detrimental to the community.

Three volunteers from the rescue, Karly, Amy, and Annalina, have set up a GoFundMe, to help raise money to either find a new place to rent for the shelter or find a property to build on. So far, they have raised almost $8,000!
They have formed a beautiful support system of volunteers throughout the community who are currently looking for solutions for the Superhero Animal Rescue.
If a building becomes the main focus for the organization, the volunteers are ready to jump in and get started.
“We are asking for financial support to get us started with this process. Our time is limited, and we will likely need to find temporary solutions for space as we work toward our goals. Any donation, big or small, makes a world of differences for these kitties.”
