Working with overcrowded and high kill shelters, as well as the general public, we bring as many cats and kittens into our program as we have foster homes to accommodate. We provide them with socialization and lots of TLC as well as the medical care needed to find them a loving home.
Euthanasia rates are heartbreaking. Spay/neuter is the key, but so is education. Shelter overpopulation is also caused by the fact that so many people abandon their pets without any thought whatsoever. Sometimes we can save an animal from being taken to a shelter simply by helping the Guardian solve the "issue."
Hand in hand with responsible pet guardianship is making a lifetime commitment to the pet that you adopt. Jake's Place goal is to establish the "Senior Cat Project", finding loving homes for older cats. "Seniors for Seniors" will be part of this project, pairing senior citizens with senior kitties.
Everyone at Jake's Place is committed to helping you find the right cat or kitten for your family situation. You can download our application and contract here on the website. We have our cats and kittens listed with a little biography of each, as well as many photos and a video of each. Feel free to call and ask questions about any of our cats. We would love to meet you at any of our adoption events or perhaps arrange a visit with the foster family.
Our adoption fee is:
$110 for a cat or kitten.
$150 for a pair.
$80 for adults 8+yrs
This fee helps us to pay for testing (FIV/Leukemia), vaccines, parasite treatment, spay/neuter & microchipping, as well as anything else the cats might need while in our care. Seniors may need blood work or dental care.
For Adoption Information, please call Debbie Edge at (415) 548-0824.
To adopt any of our kitties, please call Debbie Edge at (415) 548-0824.
Courtesy Listings: We also offer our website postings to help other responsible rescue groups or individuals find good homes for cats in need. Since Jake's Place has not met or interacted with these cats, we cannot speak to their behavior or health, but will gladly put you in touch with the appropriate people.
These kitties are awaiting a foster position and are available for adoption.
To foster one of these kitties, please call Carrie Scott at (415) 637-5897.
We are always looking for loving foster homes to help prepare the kitties for their forever home! We will provide you with food, litter and supplies. You provide a room and some TLC!
We have other opportunities to help as well... are you able to help with a special event? Transporting cats from shelters to foster homes? Running cats or kittens to their vet appointment? We can always use assistance in these areas.
Do you have an idea for something that perhaps we haven't thought of? We love to hear about it, give us a call! For Foster and Volunteer Information, please call Carrie Scott at (415) 637-5897
100% of your donation goes to the care of the kitties!

Debbie has been tirelessly driving cat rescue in Marin County for the past 17 years. She has served as the director and adoption coordinator for the Animal Sanctuary and Care Society (ASCS), and through her outreach and education efforts with the community, local shelters and North Bay rescue organizations, has made an incredibly positive impact on our rescue community. Jake's Place, aptly named after her beloved tabby, Jake, is the culmination of her years of experience. In addition to fostering her own brigade of strictly senior cats, she will continue her shelter outreach, host adoption events and work on the Senior Cat Project.
With over 20 years in market research and 5 years in public policy, academic research, and grant writing, Cheryl helps bring in much needed funds for Jake's Place kitties through grant writing. Life long animal lovers, Cheryl Beauvais & Tom Montgomery have volunteered with ASCS and actively socialized their four rescue kitties: Cleo, Max (shown above), Skip and Tula. When asked for her bio for the Jake's Place web site, Cheryl responded, "Major reason to join Jake's Place is to exact revenge on Debbie Edge for talking me into adopting 'Mad Max'!"
Carrie has always had a special place in her heart for cats. She got her start as a cat socializer at the SF SPCA and embraced an open opportunity to volunteer with ASCS. Now on the board of directors at Jake's Place, Carrie puts her love of furry creatures first in her lineup of "extracurricular activities." That said, Carrie has a 20-year profile in direct and digital marketing and brings a great deal of creative and promotional development expertise from her experience working with leading B2C and B2B Fortune 500 organizations.
This much we know for sure -- it takes a village! From the shelters who need our help, the volunteers who transport and foster, the adoption coordinators and those who post our cats on websites, to the vets who help us, the pet stores who welcome our events and the shops who let us put donation canisters on their counters -- it takes a community of people to make what we do happen! A big thank you to all of them!! Please support those who support us!
