@catsofsanbernardino New Rescue Alert! If you've been following for a while, you might recognize this location. We rescued Mama La Quinta and the hotel babies from this exact spot a few years ago. Introducing Ritz. This beautiful boy was spotted wandering around a hotel by one of our colony caretakers. We weren't able to scoop him up, but we were able to get him with the drop trap. This rescued actually happened June 23rd, but we have been too busy with our new sick rescues to share his story. He has done amazing since his rescue. He's very healthy and has been getting along great with his new friends Target and Serrano. We did also spot a cat we assumed to be his mom. We tried to get her but ended up spooking her. We will be back to get her for either adoption or TNR dependent on her demeanor. Ritz is available for adoption 🤗 To adopt this cute boy, please fill out an application.

Enter Ritz Carlton, the Feline Protagonist
In the video, we meet Ritz Carlton, an adorable orange cat who was spotted wandering around a hotel, living a life far from the luxury his name suggests.
Ritz was rescued by the incredible team at Cats of San Bernardino, an organization dedicated to improving the lives of stray and feral cats in the area.
The Birth of Cats of San Bernardino
Let's rewind a bit, shall we? Cats of San Bernardino started when its founders moved from Los Angeles to San Bernardino in 2017.
They were shocked to find that, unlike in LA, there were no free TNR resources. Nada. Zip. Zilch.
And this, my friends, is where our heroes stepped in.
Ritz's Rescue and a New Life
Our furry little protagonist, Ritz Carlton, San Bernardino's feline celebrity, was initially a bit elusive. But thanks to a drop trap, his luck was about to change.
Since his rescue, Ritz has been living his best life, healthy, happy, and getting along great with his new kitty companions.
And guess what? He's available for adoption!
A Future Full of Hope and Furry Friends
Looking ahead, Cats of San Bernardino has big plans.
They envision expanding their operations to help not only the City of San Bernardino but also the County.
They aim to move to a larger property to facilitate more rescues and provide larger areas for feral and community cats.
This isn't just the story of Ritz Carlton, it's the story of a small organization with a big heart and even bigger dreams.
