The calls & pleas for help are endless. We are overwhelmed!

We can not help everyone. We know our financial, physical & logistical limits. We have surpassed them.

The calls and messages are still coming. We have to turn animals away. We hate doing that but we have no choice.

We have a home with 17 cats needing a barn to go to. We will not be vetting or even bringing them into the shelter.

Do not criticize us for not vetting them. We are not financially able to pay for vet services outside of what we already have.

These are outdoor cats that need rehomed to farms/barns. Our understanding it is several mommas with kittens.
You do not have to take them all. Hopefully we will have several adopters.

Obviously there are no adoption fees but vetting is your own responsibility.

Please shoot a message if you are interested.
