Mission statement:
We are a no-kill shelter whose objective is to rescue abandoned and unwanted cats and kittens in our community and to provide them with shelter, food, medical care and love until we can find them responsible, loving homes through adoption or for their entire life if they remain at the shelter. We support local spray/neuter programs and want to help educate people about responsible pet ownership.

See our available cats and kittens on Petfinder.
