Stay-A-While Cat Shelter is a cage-less, no kill shelter that provides loving, compassionate and comprehensive care for cats and kittens awaiting adoption. We are located in North Royalton, Ohio. Our cats enjoy roaming free in large rooms in a spacious, ranch home situated on an acre lot, which has an abundance of trees and wildlife. Stay-A-While is a no-kill shelter as we do not euthanize cats ex
cept for hopeless health reasons. We are a small, private shelter with approximately 60-80 cats/kittens and we are only able to accept new residents when vacancies become available. We provide a safe and loving environment for cats and kittens until they can adopt caring people of their own. Once a cat is accepted into the shelter, it is given a medical examination, tested for Feline Leukemia Virus, Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, and given initial vaccinations. Cats over six months of age are spayed or neutered before adoption. The shelter is administered by an Advisory Board and is operated and maintained by a Director of Operations, Assistant Director, and several Operations Assistants, plus a staff of volunteers who carry out a myriad of functions. We are privately funded from the generosity of cat lovers through donations, adoption fees, and various fund-raising activities.
