A Place for Grace Kitty Rescue is a small local 501(c)3 non-profit located in Northern Vermont.

A bit about why I am interested in rescuing little four legged’s that purr. I have worked for the past 19 years at a local mental health agency in Burlington Vermont. I began rescuing cats and kittens through clients. I was working with families that could no longer care for their pet. During this I realized it was a passion of mine to rescue abandon, abused and neglected cats and kittens in my local community. At the time our local Humane Society had been closed. Through this I took the opportunity to expand what I was doing by applying for a 501 (c)3 non-profit status which has allowed me to write grants to get financial support to provide medical needs, spay/neuter, housing as well as nutrition to these fur babies.  

Mission Statement:


We are committed to improving the quality of life for every cat and kitten in our care by providing a safe, nurturing home environment for abused, abandon and neglected kitties.

Volunteers Make a Difference

In July of 2018, I was approached by some very caring individuals who were interested in helping me carry out my dream to protect and care for abandon/neglected/abused kitties. They have dedicated themselves to A Place for Grace Kitty Rescue (APFGKR) and are donating all of their time so that all financial contributions go totally into kitty care. These volunteers have opened their homes to foster and care for these needy fur babies. Deb Navari and Sandy Chicoine are two very dedicated people, I am so pleased to know and work with them. They make us a fabulous team.

In addition, three volunteers help with adoption events or bottle feed kittens in my home when needed. Thank you, Sherry Meuhl, Joanne Longley and Sue Catlin.
