🐾 TNR Program in Highland County is Starting! 🐾

We’re excited to announce that while we’re not ready for a full-fledged TNR program yet, we’re dipping our toes into it to help the stray/community cats in our area! 🐱

What is TNR?
TNR stands for Trap-Neuter-Return. This humane practice involves trapping stray cats, getting them spayed/neutered, vaccinated for rabies, and ear-tipped before returning them to their original location. 🪤🐾

What’s an ear tip?
It’s a small, painless procedure that marks the cat’s ear to show they’ve been spayed or neutered. It’s a universal sign that helps people know from a distance that the cat has been cared for—no belly-checks needed! 🐾💉

We’ll be starting small, trapping 2-4 cats at a time to make this manageable. But we need your help to make this successful! 🛠️❤️

How You Can Help:
1️⃣ Let us know about locations with 8 or more stray/community cats.
2️⃣ Be willing to allow traps to be set on your property and for the cats to be released back after surgery.
3️⃣ Understand that some cats are not suited for indoor homes—TNR is the best solution for their well-being and for managing overpopulation.

***We are looking for volunteers to help us transport empty traps, cats to and from surgery appointments, etc.

📩 To get involved: Email us at [email protected] with your:

Name
Address
Phone number
Number of stray/community cats in your area
🐱 Important Notes:

This program is for stray/community cats only, not owned cats.
Patience is key as we roll this out slowly.
If you can’t participate in TNR but need help now, check out these programs:

💉 Neuter-Year’s Resolution Program at Fayette Regional Humane Society

Together, we can make a difference for Highland County’s cats! 🐾❤️

🌟 Miss Twyla Needs Your Help! 🌟

Meet Miss Twyla, a sweet girl who came to us dehydrated, underweight, and with a bum leg missing a foot. 🐾💔 Whether it’s an old injury or a condition she was born with, her leg isn’t helping her get around comfortably.

After consulting with our vet, it’s been decided that Twyla needs her leg amputated to improve her quality of life. Her surgery is scheduled for Wednesday, January 29th, with an estimated cost of $400.

Help us make Twyla feel better and be able to get around easier by donating to her care.

Sadly, cases like Twyla’s are not uncommon—we currently have another cat with a leg injury who also needs care. Your generosity makes it possible for us to help these animals heal and thrive. 🐱💖

How to Donate:
💻 Online: Donate here on Facebook, or through our PayPal and Zeffy links.

These two gals are looking for loving families to teach them about life in a loving home.

Everest and Chickaletta are adorable tricolored husky mix. With what? We have no idea lol

They are 9 weeks old and under 10 pounds each. How big will they get? Is anyone’s guess but we would assume 30 pounds and up.

Come out and meet these sweet girls and take one home.

01/23/2025

We have several diapers disposable and reusable that have been donated to us over the past year that we haven’t been able to use.

So rather than hang on to them just in storage not being used, we’re offering them up for a donation to those who could actually use them. Most of the reusable diapers are new a few are gently used.

See photos for information on size and amount. If it's a partial packet we will write the number of items on them.

We are asking for a donation for each package or item you want. We will not hold anything just come in to get them.

Just come to the shelter during open hours and tell us what you need and make a donation for each

🐾 Meet Bugs Moran 🐾

👑 The Old Soul
Bugs Moran is the oldest of the 13 dogs we rescued from a hoarding situation, and this distinguished senior is around 10+ years old. Despite being blind, his spirit hasn’t dimmed a bit, and he’s overflowing with love for people! ❤️🐶

🚶 Leash-Trained Explorer
Bugs is one-of-a-kind—he’s the only dog from his group who is leash-trained, and he loves his walks. He gets around just fine, though he may bump into things now and then. 🌳🐾

🐩 Possible Pomeranian-Poodle Mix
With his ginger coat and silvered face, Bugs might be a charming Pomeranian and Poodle mix. He’s a little fluffball at 21 lbs, quiet until he hears you nearby—then, his excitement bubbles up, and he can’t help but let out a bark or two! 🧡🎉

🚽 Bugs Moran is house trained and being blind doesn't stop him from finding the door or letting you know that he needs to go out.

Bugs Moran doesn't need to be crated when you're gone, he does great alone. All he needs is a soft bed and a lot of stuffed toys and the knowledge that you will be back for him.

👨‍👩‍👧 Best Fit
Bugs Moran would thrive in a quiet, loving home with children 12+ and calm, gentle dogs. Since he was previously kept separate from the other dogs, he’s not a fan of young pups who bark or jump, as he can’t see them coming. 🐾🚫

🌅 Retirement Dream
Bugs Moran is more than ready for his well-deserved retirement home, where he’ll finally get the love and peace he deserves. Let’s help this resilient senior find his perfect family! 🛋️💙 Bugs Moran may be an older gentleman but he's still pretty active and can easily trip a person up and wrap around them with his leash.

Bugs Moran's adoption fee is $150, he is vaccinated, flea & tick treated, microchipped, tested negative for heartworm and Lyme, his bloodwork is good, he is neutered, and he has had a dental. You can apply online, for him at https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=sr2794&method=online_form_html&formid=21

Chicha here is looking for a family to grow up in. This girl is only 9 weeks old and she is going to be likely a large girl. Her momma is a pitbull of about 50 lbs with the best temperament. We think daddy might have been a bulldog mix of some sort.

This sweet wrinkly girl will melt your heart with her loving playing personality.

Come in and meet this little sweetheart

Please bring your animals in. A basement, a garage, a bathroom anything is better than this unusually frigid temperature

These animals have been waiting longer than the others for new homes.

These animals' adoptions are partially or completely sponsored in hopes that it helps them find homes. Please help us spread the word about them.

There is nothing wrong with these animals and no reason they shouldn't be in loving homes. They have just been overlooked for one reason or another.

We hope people will give them a chance as they are just as deserving as their flashier counterparts who have already found homes.

All of these animals pictured are able to participate in our foster-to-adopt program and are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, tested negative for Felv/FIV or Hw/Lyme, flea & tick treated, microchipped. You can read more about each of them here in our photo albums with the full information that we have on them.

Oogie Boogie is a little over a year, male, 54 lbs, his adoption is completely sponsored.
Nemo & Marlin are 6 months, male, 30 lbs so far, adoptions are partially sponsored.
Nutmeggles & Holly Berry are 4 months old, female, 15 lbs so far, adoptions are partially sponsored.
Wendy's, Peonetta, Side-Eyed Saldana, (cats) all female, all 1-2 years old, adoptions are partially sponsored.

If you would like to help sponsor some of their adoption fees even more you can do so here through Paypal or Zeffy. If you want your donation to go to a specific animal just send us an email to let us know which animal, you want it to go to.
