We invite you to join us for our 2026 Gala & Fundraiser: Haven for Hope
​
As we look ahead to 2026 and beyond, Barb’s Precious Rescue is raising funds to continue supporting our cats and kittens — and to help build our new adoption center located just two doors down.
This expanded space will allow us to care for more local cats and kittens in need and to give those ready for adoption a dedicated, welcoming environment.​

Introducing the
David Helt
Veterinary Care Center
AT BARB'S PRECIOUS RESCUE
Animal shelters incur a lot of medical costs, especially when it comes to neutering and spaying.
That's why we are excited to announce the opening of the David Helt Veterinary Care Center within Barb's Precious Rescue. Thanks to your support, this new in-house facility enables us to deliver best-in-class care for our rescues, minimizes travels costs, and maximizes your donations to help cats and kittens.​

Below is a video shot in February 2024 as we were building the Veterinary Care Center.

Your New
BFF is at BPR
Barb's Precious Rescue is all about love.
It's why we opened our doors in 2014.
It's why people donate, volunteer, and adopt from us.
Help any way you can and be a part of something special.

A big thank you to our incredible team of volunteers.
Only some are shown here, but their spirit is in everything we do.
They've saved countless lives, brought joy to families, and made the world a happier and better place.
They're all heroes. Without our volunteers, there would be no rescue.
