Introducing Ms. Personality AKA Starlight. This chirpy girl is full of sass and personality. She is all about her toys and her food. New environments can be a little scary at first. She prefers to meet her visitors in her condo, where she feels safe. We can understand her hesitation after being removed from an unsuitable living situation. Starlight does great with other cats and people of all ages. She is around 3 years old and is looking forward to meeting you. Stop by the shelter today to meet this beautiful girl.

Meet Jamie. This sweet girl has been at the shelter her entire life. She arrived 4 years ago along with her mom and sister. A new environment will certainly be a big change for her, but she deserves a home and family to call her own. Jamie does great with other cats and would benefit from having a friend at home. She loves people of all ages but is not a fan of being picked up and prefers to be pet on her backside. She is in need of a family who will understand her need for an adjustment period. The shelter life is all she knows. With some patience and time, her true personality will shine through. It just takes one person to make a difference in Jamie’s life. Stop by the shelter today and visit Jamie in Cat 2 room where she will be hanging out with her friends.

Who could resist this sweet face? Meet Ranger. This 1 1/2-year-old cattle mix pup was recently returned to the shelter, due to no fault of his own. Ranger's breed requires an active lifestyle. Walks, playtime, and interactive games would benefit Ranger's physical and mental well-being. It could also help him to bond with his new family. Ranger is good with people of all ages, but does not get along with cats and other small dogs. Could you be the person who gives Ranger the life he deserves? Stop by the shelter today and ask to meet Ranger.

Meet Ms. Holga. This unique-looking girl was an owner surrender last March. Holga is roughly 8 years old and is looking to spend her senior years in a furever home. Recently, Holga attended an adoption event at PETCO and was very friendly and enjoyed the attention. An ideal home for Holga would be one with no other cats, but she does like dogs. Holga likes to bite as play, so we recommend that there are no children in the home. Stop by the shelter today to visit this beautiful girl.

Hi! I'm Joyce. I somehow have found myself back at the shelter. You see, I went on a mini field trip in hopes of securing my furever family. It wasn’t a good fit for either party. Some of my feline friends, along with me, need an adjustment period when entering a new environment. It doesn’t mean that we are not friendly and loving. I have lived at the shelter for almost 3 years, so this is all I know. I will probably hide for the first few days I am in your home. I might not eat right away, and don’t want to be picked up immediately. I want to explore my new surroundings, maybe a room at a time. Once I am settled, I will be your new best friend. We will have so much fun. I am 5 years old, and I get along with other cats. I have not been around dogs, but I can be tested. I am up to date on all my vaccines, spayed, and microchipped. You can visit me at the shelter in Cat 1 room. I will be hanging out with my feline friends.

HELP!
URGENT Supplies Needed
We are currently OUT of clay clumping litter. The last few weeks our feline intake has sky rocketed. Between hoarding cases, cruelty, sick or injured, and animals abandoned at our doorstep, we are overwhelmed with needs right now. Currently our biggest needs are clay clumping cat litter and disinfectant bleach. Below is one of several cats we have taken in the last few days. Meet President Snow. This sweet boy was brought to us by a Good Sam when he was found on the side of the road. Presient Snow was weak, dehydrated, starving, covered in fleas, and suffering from puncture wounds to the neck. Our medical staff rushed him to a local veterinary clinic for treatment. The doctor wasn't sure how permanent the damage was. President Snow wasn't able to lift his head at that point. The doctor gave him antibiotics, cleaned his wounds and injected a steroid to reduce inflammation. Our medical staff then took turns taking President Snow home so he could have the best possible outcome. He is back at shelter and eating on his own and now holding his head up and even climbing. We couldn't be happier with his progress. With that being said, we really have gone through more supplies then normal and could use your help. We have included links below or supplies can be dropped off in person. Location for both is 3606 Elida Road, Lima, OH 45807. All donations are tax-deductible. Thank you so much for all your support.

***Clarification: we have an air conditioning system. It still gets humid and warm even with the units running. We ask for people to please be positive with their comments. Bigger older buildings can have Issues and cost thousands of dollars to repair. We apologize If anyone was upset at us for asking for fans. We want to keep our workers and animals comfortable on hot and humid days. We appreciate your support and concerns. Thank you.
🔥It’s hot in here 🔥
Good morning, we desperately need fans to help cool down the shelter. With rising temperatures, it can be difficult to keep all the rooms at a consistent temperature. Unfortunately, the building does not have plugs in every single room.
We are looking at battery operated fans for some of our rooms on the adoption floor. This would be a safer option to avoid having to run cords under a door, which can be a tripping hazard or a danger to the animals . We have included links below. Though any is much appreciated. Thank you so much for all your support. Have a wonderful weekend. 💕

🚨URGENT🚨

We need your help! Our shelter is completely out of disinfectant bleach. With the higher number of animals coming in sick and just general spring time illnesses we have went through our supply. Disinfectant bleach helps cut down on viruses such as parvo (which is higher risk this time of year), disinfect the kennels of animals with upper respiratory infections or even parasites. Any brand is perfect as long as it’s disinfectant . We greatly appreciate all your help and support. Have a great weekend! 🐾

A big thank you to everyone who has donated this past week! We have gotten our dish soap and cat litter replenished. We just unpacked 1,200 lbs of cat litter and have a few more boxes to go. Thank you so much for your continued support. Cat litter is something we can never have to much of . We currently have 260 cats in our care. We’ve included a link below if you would like to help keep our cat litter supply going. We hope everyone has a wonderful day. Thank you . 🐾

Any clumping litter is great! We have a link below with the most preferred. All donations are tax deductible. 💛

Is Bam Bam laughing? Singing? Soaking up the sun? Nope. He just licked someone's hair and made that face. 😝🤣
