Rita Glantz

Rita is a Jacksonville native and dental hygentist that started rescuing animals simply "Because it's the right thing to do." Rita is our behavioral specialist and one of the groups most valued foster homes. She has been with the rescue since 2014.

For Rita, rescuing is actually the easy part, as she spends countless hours socializing wayward cats and kittens to prepare them for a loving life with human companionship. This requires a tremendous amount of time and patience, but Rita finds it extremely rewarding. She has helped countless cats get a second chance at the good life.

Emily Ward

Emily takes some of the fantastic photos you see of the cats on our Facebook page as well as our internet adoption sites and website. With 17 years of accounting experience she is also perfectly suited to handle all of the financial details for All 4 Cats.

Emily received a degree in business from UNCW. A stint in culinary school developed a passion for cooking in addition to her love of photography. She has 2 rescue cats and has lived with cats all her life.

We are a foster-based organization, so our volunteers are able to closely observe an animal's behavior to match them with the most suitable forever home. At this time, our rescue is not intaking owner surrenders, unless they have been previously adopted from our rescue organization. Our focus is saving stray cats in the community or cats that are at risk of euthanasia at shelters.

All 4 Cats was found in 2014 by Justin, Val, Polly, and Allison.

All 4 Cats is a 501(c)3 registered organization and your donations are tax-deductible. Please support our cause by becoming a foster, volunteer, donor, or adopter!
