It all started 26 years ago with a chance encounter: a litter of vulnerable, abandoned kittens who desperately needed help.

For founder Harold Delgado, that single moment ignited a lifelong passion for feline welfare and a relentless drive to protect animals in crisis. What began as a personal, hands-on effort to save a few kittens has blossomed over two decades into a nationwide organization. Today, Harold’s original vision continues to guide our work. The belief that human connection is the ultimate cure for an abandoned animal remains the driving force behind everything we do at Found Rescue.

At Found Rescue, we are more than just a shelter; we are a comprehensive lifeline for at-risk cats and dogs. Operating nationwide with our headquarters in Tucson, Arizona, our mission is to ensure that no animal walks alone.

Whether we are pulling vulnerable pets from dangerous situations, providing critical medical rehabilitation in our dedicated foster homes, managing proactive TNR programs, or relentlessly working to reunite lost pets with their searching families, our goal remains the same: to give the forgotten, the stray, and the voiceless the second chance they deserve.
