Rainy Day Rescue

Rainy Day Rescue is a nonprofit cat rescue and foster organization based in Olympia, Washington. Founded in 2024 after its founders moved to Thurston County, the group rescues cats in the community, provides spay/neuter and vaccination services, and operates as a foster-based organization. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors and supports adoption, fostering, and community education around animal welfare.

The organization has rescued 87 animals and counting, finding forever homes for 47 of them. It maintains an online presence with information about adoptable cats, sponsorship opportunities, and ways to support its work. Every cat they spay/neuter and vaccinate helps break the cycle of homelessness, hunger, and suffering for all others.

The Board of Directors consists of founders Maria Slocum, Jenna Green, and Catherine Slocum Nall. They are supported by a generous supporter whose contributions have helped turn their dreams into reality. The group operates as a foster-based organization that continues to grow with every life they save.

Although currently at maximum capacity, they recognize that some circumstances require extraordinary compassion. They may make exceptions for pets belonging to individuals or families facing deportation, those affected by domestic violence, those displaced by fires, flooding, or other natural disasters, or individuals in urgent need of temporary foster care. Specialty placements do not require surrendering ownership of your pet.

The rescue is set up to give every animal the care, space, and freedom they deserve. After each cat completes their initial quarantine, which includes medical evaluations, diagnostic testing, spay or neuter surgery, and age-appropriate vaccinations, they transition to the next phase of care. This process ensures every animal receives the necessary medical attention before placement.

Some reviewers say the organization helps cats find confidence, and a sick cat can survive. They note that a happy kitten can beat the 80% fatality rate. Every cat they rescue reminds them of what is possible, from feral to friendly, from their first days to their final years.
