Municipal shelters take in and temporarily house the
lost , displaced and discarded pets from residents within the specific townships. Sadly, the shelters are often over-crowded due to the ovewhelming volume of unwanted cats. Most of these cats used to have homes and they know what they are missing, so they are literally homesick! They had a person or a family to love, a favorite spot to rest in, a favorite food or treat or toy - and every bit of it has been taken away from them. They are completely alone, with not one of the comforts of home to provide some relief. Our Mission
is to change this for as many cats as we can! |
During our Shelter Runs, we gravitate towards those cats who've been waiting an extended period of time or are having difficulty adjusting to shelter living - the cats who are least likely to get adopted and therefore at the greatest risk of being euthanized.
Once rescued, the cats are brought to our Adoption Center, a two-story house just for our rescued cats! Here we've created the home-like setting that helps prepare the cats for adoption into their forever-homes! Each of our Adoption Center residents lives with freedom and the ability to explore the way cats like to do (in fact, they need it for their health and well-being!)
Most of our rescued cats are stressed or traumatized in some way from the losses they've endured and due to what they've experienced being confined to shelter cages for however long. Each cat incurs medical/care expenses during his or her stay with us, regardless of the health of the cat upon intake (expenses such as spay/neuter, deworming, vaccinations, dental surgeries, etc). Cats who are never chosen for adoption are SAFE with us, as we provide lifetime sanctuary for those that nobody else wants.
The Shelter Run Fund was established to support our cat intake and allow for MORE cats to be rescued!

One for One!*
Each cat incurs medical/food/litter/care expenses of at the very least $100. This is the minimum amount we ask for a full sponsorship of one of our cats from our next Shelter Run. With your One for One Sponsorship, you are single-handedly saving the life of a shelter cat!
(One for One sponsorships can be wonderful gifts for animal-loving friends who might appreciate that a life has been saved in their honor. If you choose to donate a One for One sponsorship as a gift please make a note with your donation so we can contact you for acknowledgement details. )
