About the Charity: RESQCATS is a non-profit sanctuary dedicated to the rescue, care & adoption of abandoned cats and kittens. We have worked with RESQCATS for several years now, and they are such an incredible, caring, and motivated organization. They truly are miracle workers, and have made a difference in the lifes of so many. Whether that life be an abandoned kitten in need of a loving home, or a caring person looking for that special cat to keep them company throughout lifes ups and downs, RESQCATS's mission is to find the "purrrrfect" match.

RESQCATS is located high on the cliffs in Santa Barbara and is quite a unique facility! Established by Jeffyne Telson in 1997, the sanctuary is a haven for stray and abandoned cats and kittens that come here to heal and find a new home. The sanctuary has been expanded over the years as more and more cats and kittens find a temporary home at RESQCATS.

The facilities consists of a large building divided into communal areas, isolation areas, special enclosures and large outdoor "playgrounds". This is the temporary home of cats and kittens of all sizes and colors! Kitten rooms are furnished with a large crate full of clean, soft blankets, a kitty condo, scratching post, litter box, plenty of food and fresh water and of course, lots of kitty toys. A driftwood log serves as a ramp to a high shelf with another kitty bed, as well as a panoramic view of the trees and field.

The large outdoor area gives the cats and kitties at RESQCATS the opportunity to climb real trees and enjoy the fresh air of the "outdoors" while still being completely protected from the outdoor dangers...traffic, predators, cat fights, etc. Over 650 feet of special "cat trails" allow the cats to walk from one outdoor enclosure to another. They are high up and can watch everything that's happening!

The RESQCATS Pure Soy Glass Pillar is titled "Lavender Bud", scented with pure lavender essential oil, and sprinkled with dried lavender buds.

Lavender helps to create an emotionally calming, relaxing, and balancing atmosphere, while also healing the soul, providing nervous tension relief and relieving slight depression. The benefits of Lavender are symbollic to what RESQCATS does everyday with our feline friends, as well as to the ways a loving pet can help you in everyday life.

Support earth friendly and healthy living, support those loving cat and kitten lives that need our help, support RESQCATS and make a difference.

Our soy candles are made with 100% pure soy wax, and scented with only natural essential oils. These 3" x 3.5" glass pillars are lovingly wrapped in tissue paper and packaged in a natural recycled kraft paper box. Made with a Cotton Wick. Burn time is approximately 60 hours.

All Natural Soy Candles are a wonderful alternative to Paraffin Wax Candles (a petroleum based by-product of refined gasoline). Studies have shown that carcinogens released by paraffin wax candles are as dangerous as second hand cigarette smoke and can cause harm to the heart, lungs, circulatory system, and nervous system. This is not only a health concern, but also an environmental concern. Paraffin wax candles release carcinogens into the atmosphere when burned similar to that of gasoline being burned by an automobile.

HERE’S WHY SOY CANDLES ARE BETTER THAN PARAFFIN CANDLES:

* Soy wax is a very clean burning wax, no toxins and an incredibly small amount of soot

* Soy wax burns cooler and longer than petroleum wax, meaning you get more candle for the money

* Biodegradable and water soluble

* Non-toxic...safe for children and pets

* Easily cleaned up with soap and water

* Environmentally sensitive

* A Renewable resource that supports economic growth and US Farmers, AND lessens our dependence on foreign oil

* We use only natural essential oils to scent our candles. No yucky chemical fragrance oils or chemical dyes!! Why would you want to add chemicals to these beautiful, healthy natural candles?
