We do not have a shelter. Message us for more info. Mission Statement:
To improve the life of animals. We believe in Trap, Neuter, Return (TNR) and spaying & neutering your pets. About Us:
We are a 501c3 non-profit charity. Your donations are tax deductible. We are volunteer-based with a handful of gracious souls funding TNR & fostering adoptable animals. More about us:
*We maintain feral cat col
onies that are sterilized & vaccinated.
*We relocate feral/stray cats as “Barn Cats” to safe, approved outdoor locations.
*Our foster families care for friendly, adoptable strays until homes or rescue placement can be found.
*We save at risk animals, including dogs that are on death row at other facilities.
*We are NOT a shelter.
*We are volunteer-based.
*We rely on donations to vet animals.
*We rely on fosters to help with adoptable stray cats & dogs.
*We DO NOT believe in declawing cats. All donations are tax deductible. Please don’t hesitate to ask for a certificate for your donations. If you need cats relocated in Mecklenburg County:
*Send us an email: [email protected]
*Business Phone: 434-362-0154
*Leave us a detailed explanation of animals in need of relocating.
*Photos help, include your contact information.
*You will be placed on a request list until we can accommodate/trap animal(s)
*Ferals must have placement commitment before we schedule vet appointments so we can transport directly.
*Our rescue days are Tuesdays & Wednesdays.
*We ask that the public assist with finding outdoor placement for cats by networking.*Donations are encouraged, as we do not have grant funding currently for the costs of vetting.
***Patience is required, as this is not an overnight fix. Networking takes time.***
Adoption process for feral/outdoor cats:
All areas considered & visited for approval locally. WE TRAVEL to place outdoor kitties!
*Send inquiry/request for what type or “Barn Cats” you with to adopt. (Feral or semi-feral.)
*Send photos of housing/barns/placement to be reviewed.
*Send 3 references for adoption. (Landlord, vet, coworker, friend.) Adoption Process for Friendly Animals:
*Send inquiry/email for which animal you would like to meet or adopt.
*Send references. (Landlord, boss (employer), vet, coworker/neighbor.) Rehoming or Found/ Stray Animals:
We are happy to courtesy post animals for you. Send us:
*Your contact info
*3 Clear Photos

It is more likely the animal will find a home if it is spayed/neutered, vaccinated, & tested. We encourage you to please email us if you are in need of sterilization services & can refer you to other local organizations that spay/neuter for little to no costs. We seek to find the best fit for your family! Fundraising:
