Inga always loved animals. Her deep affection blossomed with her well-known “Pampered Poodle” pet-grooming business. As her business grew, so did Inga’s reputation. Through the years, word spread about her care and famous grooming skills that turned-out well-kept pooches in the North County section of Palm Beach County.

It wasn’t long before Inga also became known for her dedication to animals. As a result, people began asking her for help with stray cats. Unable to turn down any animal in need, Inga began accepting these ragamuffins into her business. From this humble beginning, Adopt A Cat was born just as the new century was beginning. A year later, in 2001 Adopt A Cat received its charitable organization status and became the only all-cat, no-kill rescue shelter in Palm Beach County.

It remains so to this day.

Inga’s Adopt A Cat shelter became the go-to place for homeless and stray felines cats and kittens that other rescue organizations turned away – the maimed, the deformed, those with behavioral issues and those abandoned by society or their owners.
