Our Rescue Stories
For Rebecca and Andrew, it all started long before Iridescence Cares became a nonprofit. They’ve always believed that every animal deserves a chance to feel safe, loved, and seen. Since 2012, they’ve opened their hearts and home to countless rescues, helping over 36 animals find the care and comfort they deserved.
Some arrived scared or hurt, some were abandoned, and others just needed someone to believe in them. Each one became part of their story and a reminder of why compassion matters so much. Together, Rebecca and Andrew rescue, foster, and care for every animal, combining patience, dedication, and love to give each one the best chance at a happy life.
Today, that same spirit guides the future of Iridescence Cares, with a mission to rescue even more animals, support local fosters, and spread kindness through action.
Personal Rescue Stories
Gordie and Gus
Originally meant to be fosters, these cats became permanent family members. With Gus’s age and Gordie’s health issues, Rebecca and Andrew knew they could provide the care and love they deserved. After a year of some initial squabbles, they’re thriving and life without them is unimaginable!
Evie
Originally up for adoption through Iridescence Cares, Evie won everyone over with her affectionate personality. When a suspected health issue temporarily paused her adoption, Rebecca and Andrew ensured she received the care she needed and were relieved to learn she was perfectly healthy. During that time, Evie formed a special bond with Gus and Gordie, making it clear she was already home. Life wouldn’t be the same without her.

Rescued from a shelter in Los Angeles, Pearl had been waiting for nearly a year and a half due to her autoimmune disease.
