Meet Paxton! 👑

He may have a stoic look, but don’t be fooled this boy is full of playfulness. Paxton has been with us since APRIL 2024, making him our longest resident here at the shelter.

In that time, he’s truly become the king of his room! He gets along with everyone from kittens to adult cats. Like many long-timers, he’s confident enough to stand his ground, and he knows exactly how and when he wants attention. But find his favorite spot, and he’ll melt into one big cuddle bug.😻

If you’d like to meet this king for your self please stop by the Gilmer county Animal Shelter, open Tuesday through Saturday from 1pm to 4pm!

Quietly say hello to our shy friends.🐱

Most of the cats we welcome were once strays living without the love and care every animal deserves. Some aren’t ready to jump into your lap right away. Even if a cat growls, hisses, or swats, it doesn’t mean they’re feral. It just means they need time.

We give them patience, gentle care, and the chance to learn that people can be trusted. we’d love for you to come meet these friends and give them the extra love they deserve!!

Meet Miss Smokey!

This lively lady is bursting with energy. She may not be a kitten anymore, but she is certainly feisty and plays like one! One moment she’s snuggled in your arms, soaking up affection, and the next she’s zooming around, having the time of her life!

If youd like to see her in action come by the Gilmer county Animal Shelter in Ellijay! 😸

Our Story

Gilmer County Animal Shelter is a no-kill county operated facility. We house unwanted, neglected and abused animals that are domesticated and can also be put up for adoption. Due to limited resources and space, we are a no kill facility, but can only maintain that status with help from the community. Gilmer County Animal Control also operates directly through the shelter. All Animal Control issues pertaining to domesticated animals only can be directed through the Animal Shelter.
