Important information and would like to add that Feral cats cannot be relocated. Trapping and dumping “far away” is basically forcing them to die an unbelievably cruel death and is inhumane - not to mention illegal in many areas! They will not just figure out how to live in a new territory. It doesn’t work that way. TNR is the only option to control the cat population.

Update on this beautiful girl we rescued on 12/13. Avery was found crossing a very busy section of road and almost hit by cars several times before we were asked to help catch her. She was very underweight and dirty and didn’t put up much of a fight being picked up and put into a carrier.

She was found to be microchipped out of Charlotte AC, however, the owners phone numbers were disconnected. Now that her stray hold is done, she has been evaluated by a vet and is ready for adoption!!! Vet exam and bloodwork all came out perfect! She is a healthy 5 year old girl who is spayed and now utd on all vaccines. She is a chatty girl (of course), who is very affectionate and mostly chill. She prefers to be the center of attention so do not expect her to bond with existing pets in the home. So far she just coexists nicely with the many characters here.

If you are interested in adopting her, please complete an application:

This is a great program that gives dogs a chance to get out of the shelter, but also get seen by possible Adopter!

UPDATE: DUE TO THE AMAZING RESPONSE AND THE HOLIDAY WEEK THERE MAY BE A DELAY IN PROCESSING APPLICATIONS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE

⭐️Have you heard about our 𝑫𝒐𝒈𝒈𝒚 𝑫𝒂𝒚 𝑶𝒖𝒕 program? ⭐️

The Doggy Day Out program is a FUN way to help when you aren't quite ready to adopt. It's easy and it's so beneficial to the dogs AND the staff. Take selected dogs out on an outing for the day and enjoy some time with a furry friend. This is a great way to provide a break from the shelter and socialization for dogs as well as help market them for adoption.

🐾 Apply to participate in the program at https://www.cognitoforms.com/YorkCountyAnimalControl/doggydayoutapplication or stop by the shelter to complete an application.
🐾 Once approved you will be contacted by a YCAS representative who will review the program and answer any questions.
🐾 Choose an adoptable dog to take on an outing for the day. You will sign an agreement and return the dog before we close for the day.
🐾 Take the dog on the outing. Go to a park or on a hike. Get a pup cup. Take a nap on the couch. Get great pics of all your adventures. Whatever suits you! Most importantly, HAVE FUN!!!

We will provide:
🐕 A leash and collar and/or harness showcasing the "Adopt Me" logo.
🐕 A business card for the dog to share with anyone that might be interested in fostering or adopting while you're out and about.
🐕 Treats and water.

🐾 Be sure to take plenty of photos and/or videos to share with your friends and family, plus email them to our Operations Manager for use to help market that dog. Use when posting to your social media!
🐾 Learn something fun, interesting, important? Let us know. All information is great information when it comes to finding good homes.
🐾 Return the dog to the shelter at the designated time.

Sounds fun, right? See you soon!

***Final update! This girl is SAFE!! Thank you to everyone who shared and helped us get this girl into a way better situation than living outside the Dollar General in the freezing cold 💕💕

**update to clarify some comments or questions. As of Sunday morning we have not released her yet. It does not bring us joy to have to make tough decisions like this. We have TNRed over 300 cats this year and brought in 175 friendly, discarded stray cats and kittens, gotten them complete vet care (sometimes over $2k for single cats) and found homes for them. We currently have 30 cats/kittens waiting for adoption in our personal homes. We are not a facility or warehouse for cats, we are 2 people who volunteer to help reduce the number of homeless animals in the community. We believe in providing the best care we can within our capacity. We absolutely do not have a physical space to properly care for this sweet girl who was obviously discarded by her humans. ***If you have commented on this post and can help this cat, please send us a PM as we do not get notifications from comments on shared posts***

This cutie (with her amazing green eyes!) found her way into our trap Wednesday at a bustling Dollar General in Clover. Unfortunately, we don’t have the capacity to bring her into our rescue due to 6 unexpected intakes in the last week 😞.

We’re seeking another rescue organization that can take her in, or an individual who would provide a forever home before we have to release her tomorrow evening back to the DG.

She is approximately 4 years old and we have had her spayed and rabies vaccinated. She will need FVRCP vaccine and combo testing.

Please help us by sharing this!
