LEAR LEGACY CAT RESCUE
Mission
Lear's Legacy Cat Rescue was founded in 2024 by University of Houston students and alumni to honor the memory of Lear, a beloved cat who lived on campus with his partner, Momma. Together, they became a source of comfort and joy for students, offering a peaceful place to unwind after exams or simply enjoy some quiet moments of connection. Lear's gentle spirit and Momma's loving presence helped form a unique community of students who cherished the opportunity to spend time with them. When Lear passed away unexpectedly, his impact on those who knew him become the inspiration for Lear's Legacy. Our mission is to carry on his love and compassion through dedicated cat rescue, rehabilitation, and colony management. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we work to reduce the homeless cat population in our community by offering care, resources, and education, while honoring the bond Lear and Momma shared with so many. Through our efforts, we aim to create a lasting legacy of kindness and care for all cats in need.
Vision
In 2026, our focus is on expanding rescue efforts for injured, sick, and disabled cats, increasing visibility of our cats through targeted outreach, and strengthening our foster and adoption networks while maintaining our care for local cat colonies located near the University of Houston Main Campus. The three colonies are TNR'd, vaccinated for rabies, fed twice a day, and regularly treated for flea prevention.
Goals
- 1.A key milestone has been our new partnership with PetSmart Charities at the PetSmart location at 1907 Taylor St. in the Houston Heights, which has significantly boosted adoptions through in-store placements. We are also actively working on increasing our donors to manage our adoption income to fundraising ratio.
- 2.We are committed to ensuring every cat receives compassionate, comprehensive care and to building lasting adopter relationships through thoughtful matchmaking and post-adoption support. We will continue leveraging community partnerships and fundraising to sustain our mission while remaining nimble, transparent, and driven by the best interest of every cat in our care.
- 3.In order to grow and expand our existing services, we need to secure long term sponsors and have regularly scheduled fundraisers whether that be virtual or in-person to increase our income. Our goal is to have more than $10,000+ always in our bank in order to have a steady flow of income for our monthly vet expenses and emergency funding.
