If fall clean up leaves you with hanging baskets or plastic pots (about 9” high and around 10” wide) we would love to reuse them to make arrangements for our Porch Pot fundraiser. Empty or still full of potting mix, we will take them. Items can be dropped off at N4933 W 11th St. N in Ladysmith (next to Prevea). Please feel free to leave them at the end of the driveway. We will take care of it from there! Thank you!

Who can resist this pile of cute! Please adopt if you can. The shelter is full of loving cats and kittens. All are neutered or spayed.

Folks, we've got so many cats and kittens we're running out of room, and they have to sleep in a stack. Summer's ending, school starts soon, it's a perfect time to add to the family. All of our adoptable cats and kittens are spayed/neutered, and up to date on age appropriate vaccinations and medical treatments. We also have a bunch of kittens that will be getting spayed/neutered on Sept 1st, so if you're local you could be eligible for a Foster to Adopt.
