What is the Rexcue Railroad?

The Rexcue Railroad is for volunteers who want to help transport rescued Cornish and Devon Rex to their new homes. Other "mutant fur" breeds such as the Sphynx, Selkirk Rex, Peterbald, Don Hairless, American Wirehair and LaPerm will be considered on an individual case basis. We only transport altered cats that are rescues. We do not transport cats that have been purchased from a breeder. Another cat may join the ride but only if one of the listed breeds is also being transported and the drivers are not allergic to it. It is NOT intended for people who want a free cat!

Ryan, a FeLV+ Cornish male, was rescued from a Nebraska hoarder in 2003. He was transported via the Rexcue Railroad to his new home in Ohio.

Golda, a Golden Chocolate Patched tabby Devon female, made it from her foster home in Palm Springs, Calif., to her new home in Eugene, Ore. Thursday April 4-7, 2002: a distance of 964.6 miles and about 16 hours and 18 minutes in driving time.

Bluebell, a blue Cornish, made it from her former home in Upland, California to her new home in Blanchard, Michigan. Julie, a Rexcue Railroad volunteer, got Bluebelle at the Detroit Metro Airport on March 6, 2002 and met Kim (left) in Alma, Michigan that night. Kim took Bluebelle from there to their new home in Blanchard.

Raji, a Sphynx/Devon hybrid, was transported from Rhode Island to Maryland the weekend of January 26-27, 2002. His trip took about seven hours and covered 358.78 miles. Tom (right) picked him up at the shelter and took him to NJ, where Jeanette got him up and took him to Pennsylvania. From there he made it to Maryland and his grateful forever family.

Pixie & Dixie, both Cornish Rex, made the long trek from Arkansas to Ontario, Canada the weekend of June 23-24, 2001. Their trip took six volunteer drivers and two overnight stays.

Dixon, a Devon Rex, could not fly directly to Wichita, Kansas due to an airline heat embargo. So he flew from California to Missouri after a layover in Michigan. He was met by a Rexcue Railroad volunteer with whom he spent the night before meeting his new mom September 10, 2000 in Kansas.
