We believe...

Every cat has value and deserves a chance for a permanent home. You should only euthanize cats that are too ill or injured to recover. Unless a cat can't recover we consider it adoptable and will work hard to find a home for it and always do! If euthanasia is necessary it is by lethal injection only. In Trap/Neuter/Return and committed through our own low cost spay and neuter clinic to sterilizing as many feral as well as stray cats and personal pets in our community as we can. In treating all cats in our shelter and make decisions for them the same way we do our own personal pets at home. No time limits are imposed on the process of restoring a cat or kitten to well being.
