About Us
The name Angels Rescuing Kritters was inspired by Oprah Winfrey's Angel Network. If you would like to let Oprah know, please feel free. We, three animal nuts from a small town, started Angels Rescuing Kritters, a non-profit, 501(c)3 rescue located in Weimar, California in 2002 to help control the over-population of feral cats in our community. Then we expanded to dogs and horse rescue. We are very committed to make a difference by collaborating with other animal agencies to find placement for all adoptable animals in our county.
Our Featured Angel

Liza Barron, Volunteer Coordinator, Sunday Cat Cleaner
Liza is a full time nursing student, who first volunteered with ARK in high school as part of her senior project. Part of her project was a paper on the importance of spaying and neutering, the research made a deep impression on Liza. Over time Liza's "job" has changed to fit the time she has available. Liza also painted a beautiful mural in the cat room. Liza has been dependable and a pleasure to have as an angel.
"I will keep volunteering because of the cats and the friendships I've made," said Liza. "And its really cool to watch the rescue evolve." |
Our Angels

Suzy Bayne, Founder, President, cat box cleaner, dog walker, Vet.Tech
For more than ten years Suzy (Angel #2) has devoted all her time to rescuing animals. It has always been her calling. As a child Suzy rescued just about anything. Her Grandmother had a rescue in Daly City, her mom fed strays in her home town and her cousin Al Wolfe currently has Sonoma County Reptile Rescue. It truly runs through her blood to rescue animals. She is committed to leaving a legacy of angels that will continue her mission to end animal cruelty and run an innovative, state of the arts rescue where all animals will be safe. A place where laws are made to protect and honor our furry and not so furry friends. A place that believes in the spirit of animals. |

Tamra Brisco, Volunteer, Catroom cleaner and Dog Walker
Tamra heard about the rescue through Char Ingram, Angel #10 and then interviewed with Suzy. She was trained to be one of our top volunteers. She's active at every event and loves the animals. Tamra strives to be a Veterinarian and hopes to work with ARK in her future. |

Kristi Hensley, Transporter
Kristi and Suzy have known each other since “83”. Kristi offered to help with cat adoptions at the local flea market. Over time Kristi began transporting animals to the spay /neuter clinic and now regularly transports up to twice a week. Kristi is so sweet and has so much compassion for the animals. Her cool and mellow personality is a favorite at ARK with the animals. Kristi is an Angel that floats in our rescue and touches the animals with the tender care only a sweet Angel can. She's always smiling and very is a very gentle soul. |

Lori King-McKellepp, Volunteer, Board Member
Hi I am Lori King-McKellepp, Angel #4 and Board Member. I have been with Angel's Rescuing Kritters since 2003. I have spent my entire life surrounded by animals. I have volunteered beside my Aunt, Suzy Bayne, Co-Founder/President, for nearly 7 years. "My insane passion is for the feral cats. I am also a pushover for the underdog." "Animal rescue runs in our blood and has for generations!" "We couldn't get away from it if we wanted to, it follows us!" It is definitely our calling and there is nothing better than saving a life. It is our love for all of God's creations that keeps us going. Noah started it with the ARK and we will continue it! |

Sylvia Spencer, Vice President
Sylvia lives near the rescue and was introduced to Suzy, Angel #2 through Jeannie Spencer, ARK's agent about a year ago. Sylvia now pretty much runs the cat room and is most our devoted angel in the cat room. She comes twice a week and runs the show when Suzy's away. She helps at every event and keeps things in tip top shape. She has an incredible knack for cleaning and she truly cares about every kitty at the rescue. Sylvia earned her wings the minute she came on board. |
