Pet Helpers is a nonprofit 501(c)3 Rescue and Adoption Center that serves communities across the Lowcountry. Our mission is to end the euthanasia of all adoptable cats and dogs by keeping all animals until adopted; providing low cost spay/neuter surgeries; offering humane education programs; pursuing animal-cruelty prosecution; and initiating animal-welfare legislation. We also have a high quality

, low-cost Spay/Neuter Center that is open to the public. We offer vaccines, heartworm prevention/treatment, general surgeries, and routine medical care for your pet. Pet Helpers’ vision is to offer affordable, spay/neuter services and access basic wellness services to families across the Lowcountry. We offer these services to the general public but also focus aggressively on communities with high rates of animal reproduction and pets belonging to low-income populations. Increased accessibility to affordable spay neuter services and basic wellness care will reduce pet overpopulation and help to keep animals out of the shelter system.

The Power of Microchips, TNR & a Little Fate 🐾

This morning, something incredible happened at Pet Helpers. As our team began checking in cats for TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) services, one tabby stood out—not because of any flashy markings, but because he looked a little too well-fed for a typical community cat.

As always, our team scanned him for a microchip, and what happened next left us speechless. The chip was registered to one of our very own employees… whose beloved cat, Nefertiti, had been missing for TWO YEARS. 😱

After vanishing without a trace, Nefertiti had somehow found his way back to us—proving just how vital microchipping and TNR efforts are. Without them, this reunion may have never happened.

Because of TNR, he was brought in.
Because of microchipping, we found his owner.
Because of Pet Helpers, they are now back together.

This is why we do what we do. 💙🐱

🚨 URGENT: We Need Foster Heroes! 🚨

Okay, Charleston, we need to talk. Our shelter is about to welcome some VERY special guests, and we need your help rolling out the foster welcome mat. 🏡🐶

👉 A mama dog who is ready to give birth ANY. DAY. NOW. (Think of it as the ultimate front-row seat to the miracle of life… with way less stress than reality TV.)

👉 A mama with puppies under 4 weeks old. These little jelly beans need a quiet, cozy place to grow, and their momma needs a break from the shelter hustle!

👉 Puppies, puppies, and more puppies! We’re talking snuggles, zoomies, and that irresistible puppy breath. 😍

Fostering saves lives, and we provide EVERYTHING you need—supplies, training, and round-the-clock support. You bring the love and space, we’ll handle the rest. 💕

Even if you can’t foster today, we’re building our foster dream team for the entire year. So if you’ve ever thought, "Could I be a foster parent?"—the answer is YES! 🙌

📩 Email [email protected] to jump in now or to join our future foster squad. Let’s give these moms and babies the best start possible! 🐾💙

📸 Disclaimer: These aren't the exact puppies. In need - we have more puppies than we can count that need your help.

🚨 Bonded Pair Alert: Java & Rambo Need Their Forever Home Now! 🚨

Meet Java and Rambo, two incredible cats whose story will tug at your heartstrings. For nearly 12 years, these two shared a loving home with their owner, who adored them like family. Tragically, when he entered hospice care, he had to make the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye.

On the day we told him Java and Rambo were safe with us, he was finally able to find peace—knowing his beloved companions were cared for and protected.

Now, Java and Rambo need a new chapter, one filled with the same love and security they’ve always known. These two are more than just cats—they’re a legacy of love, resilience, and loyalty.

The shelter, no matter how hard we try, is overwhelming for them. As brave as they’ve been, they struggle in this environment after years in a quiet, comforting home. We’re desperately seeking someone who can give them the second chance they so desperately deserve—a forever home where they can thrive together.

💔 They’ve been waiting for months. Let’s make today the day we find their hero.

If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to change two lives forever, this is your moment. The love, snuggles, and gratitude Java and Rambo will give you in return is beyond words.

💌 Slide into our DMs or visit pethelpers.org to bring these two sweet souls home. Let’s honor their former owner’s memory by giving Java and Rambo the life he wanted for them.

📣 SHARE this post—you could be the connection that makes their happy ending possible.

🐱 Kitten Season is Coming... and We Need Your Help! 🐱

Spring is right around the corner, and you know what that means—kitten season is about to be in full swing! While tiny toe beans and fluffy kittens might sound adorable (and trust us, they are), the reality is that uncontrolled cat populations can lead to overcrowded shelters, hungry strays, and a whole lot of feline drama.

So how can you help? 🧐 We need humane traps for our Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program! Right now, all of our traps are in use, and the calls for TNR services keep coming in. Without traps, we can’t safely and humanely spay and neuter community cats—meaning more kittens, more overpopulation, and more stressed-out shelters/rescues with resources stretched thin.

💛 Want to be a hero for community cats? Donate a humane trap today! Check out our Amazon wishlist and help us keep kitten season under control:

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3K640TGG4Z4S1/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_1?_encoding=UTF8&type=wishlist

Every trap donated = fewer litters, healthier cats, and a happier community. Let’s spring into action! 🌼🐾

02/05/2025

🚨 10 TNR Spots Available Tomorrow—First Come, First Served! 🚨

Got community cats that need TNR? We have ONLY 10 spots open tomorrow, Tuesday, February 6th! 🐾

✅ Drop-off: 7:30–8:00 AM (Spay/Neuter Clinic – right side of the building)
✅ Pick-up: Before 3:00 PM
✅ Cost: $25 per cat (includes microchip, vaccines & ear tip)
✅ Limit: 2 cats per person

🚫 No carriers, no exceptions! All feral cats MUST be in a humane trap before arrival, or they will be turned away.

TNR helps save lives & reduce overpopulation! Regular TNR services will resume as normal next week.
