Today somebody decided to drop off a Mom + 13 kittens on the back corner of our property. By some miracle, one of our volunteers happened to see it happen so they were brought in right away. Until fosters can be found, they all are living in one cage. With 400+ cats in our program, that was all we had available.

Cashew is a very relaxed and handleable kitty up for adoption here at the shelter.

A few facts about C.A.T.S.
* As of July 31st, we have 427 kitties in our program, about 100 of those ON SITE and about 300 of these are kittens.
* We are desperately trying to pick up the slack in Jackson County, but we do have limits.
* We do not have any medical staff on site.
* Kitties are dumped on us regularly and we just have to figure it out.
* We put roughly $200 in to every kitten before it goes up for adoption at $120 adoption fee. This does not include food and litter.
Do the math. We are struggling.
Monetary donations would be greatly appreciated.

With some organizations unable to help the homeless cat/kitten population, we have been hit pretty hard with Intakes. We are trying our hardest to help as many as we can as quickly as we can. We are pushing 400 kitties in our program and are having to slow intakes to a trickle. Our resources are stretching thin. There are so many wonderful kitties on site that are looking for their furever homes. Stop by and meet them! You never know who you might connect with.

If you are in the market for a new cat tree, Costco has a nice one that seems easy to keep clean for $96.99!

Cat owners (often first time, inexperienced) tell me since their cat will be indoors only, they don't plan to have him/her spayed/neutered. I've heard/seen it play out countless times, when a female cat goes into heat the owner will literally be physically unable to keep her inside. The cat's yowling, destructive behavior (clawing at doors and windows) and waiting by doors for the first opportunity to bolt out faster than anyone can possibly grab her will make her victorious. Same for males. Their sense of smell is 100K times more sensitive than humans' and they will be forced by their raging hormones to find the females (up to 5 miles away) in need of what they have to offer. No excuses, GET YOUR CAT(S) SPAYED/NEUTERED!!

The progression of seeing a kitten.

06/18/2024

We have 4 fostering situations that we need help with. For various reasons, these kitties need to go into a new foster home until they can come in to the shelter for adoption. If this is something you might be able to help out with, please give us a call!

06/18/2024

Look what we got in the mail today! How cool is that!!!
