Download this informative "fact sheet" about pets in the United States and the community-based animal shelters that care for them when they become homeless. The lack of spaying and neutering plays a large role in the situation. Learn more about it.
Why adopt a "rescue" cat? There are so many reasons, we put together a two-page brochure for you. Quite honestly, adopting one from your local animal shelter will be one of the best decisions you'll ever make. Your new pet will come "ready to go", neutered or spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and free of fleas and parasites - ready to fill your life with purrry pleasure!
It's hard to believe that someone would abandon their cat, but it happens more than you think. Situations such as evictions, financial hardships, runaways, and unwanted kittens contribute to the problem. After a period of time, some cats simply cannot be domesticated. The "Trap, Neuter, Return (TNR)" program is a human and effective approach for managing feral cats where they are captured, given veterinary care and treatment (including sterilization) and returned to their habitat. Read all about it.
While most of the cats and kittens we have available for adoption are in excellent health, some come with chronic conditions requiring some extra care. We have created a fact sheet with details about Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) and Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV), which are cat-only illnesses. By learning the facts, you'll be better prepared for their care and nurturing.
If you haven't found the pet of your dreams at your local animal shelter, don't give up! For a comprehensive listing of pets available for adoption, you can visit the www.Petfinder.com website. Numerous search options (e.g., age, location, breed) can be used to customize your search.
