Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!
No-kill shelters do wonderful work, but as a result, are often inundated with pet surrenders. In the unfortunate scenario that you have to find a new home for your pet, please read through the rehoming solution and articles on this page before contacting the shelter.

This shelter spends a great deal of money on preventative care and any time a cat needs to go to the vet, there is never hesitation.

This shelter has a special place for senior cats so that they can be kept track of. They still have a large area to free roam but are contained in a large fenced area with an nice building with multiple cubbies for each cat. No cages
