Chester
Read heartfelt stories of rescue, and share your rescued animal stories with others.
Our last cat, Aldo, was a Maine Coon and lived to the age of 24. I loved that cat more than any other. When he died, I was determined to get another of the same breed - but only if I could find one at a shelter. Well, Chester is 90% Maine Coon and is the most affectionate cat I've ever had! He loves to have his belly rubbed - and you know how rare that is! He's a love bug and enjoys watching the world go by from the top of his 5-story kitty condo.

About The Animal Rescue Site
The Animal Rescue Site focuses the power of the Internet on a specific need — providing food and vital care for some of the eight million unwanted animals given to shelters every year in the U.S., as well as animals in desperate need around the world. Over four million animals are put to death each year in the U.S. alone because they are abandoned and unwanted.
Each click on the purple "Click Here to Give — it's FREE!" button at The Animal Rescue Site provides food and care for a rescued animal in need. Funding for food and care is paid by site sponsors and distributed to animals in need by Rescue Bank, The Fund for Animals, the Petfinder Foundation, North Shore Animal League, International Fund for Animal Welfare,and other worthy animal rescue organizations supported by GreaterGood.org.
In addition to clicking the purple "Click Here to Give - it's FREE" button, visitors can help more by shopping in The Animal Rescue Site store. With each item purchased, shoppers generate funds for the feeding and care of animals in shelters and sanctuaries.
