🐱 It’s Kitten Season! 🐱

Every spring and summer, animal shelters and rescues experience an overwhelming influx of kittens. While tiny kittens are adorable, kitten season puts tremendous strain on shelters, fosters, and community resources.

If you find kittens outdoors, please remember:
🐾 Mom may be nearby caring for them. Unless they are sick, injured, or in immediate danger, observe from a distance before intervening.
🐾 Spaying and neutering is the most effective way to prevent unwanted litters.
🐾 Foster homes are often desperately needed to help save vulnerable kittens.
🐾 Community support through donations, volunteering, and sharing adoptable animals makes a huge difference.

Together, we can help reduce overpopulation and give every kitten the best chance at a healthy life.

If you’re interested in fostering, adopting, volunteering, or learning more about Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), please reach out to us!

❤️ Please share to help spread awareness during kitten season.

Hank has been passed up over and over again and we just don’t know why!

He’s the perfect combination of play and love. He is smart and wants to learn. He loves his Kong treats and that keeps him busy most of the day.

Hank is a neutered male mixed-breed dog under a year old, and he’s quickly becoming the office favorite! With his beautiful coloring and lovable personality, it’s easy to see why everyone falls for him.

✅ Good with kids
✅ Good with dogs
✅ Good with most cats
✅ Loves toys and playtime

Hank is the perfect combination of fun and laid-back. He’s always ready for an adventure, a game of fetch, or playtime with his favorite toys. After a day of fun, he’s happy to relax and hang out by your side at evening cookouts.

This handsome boy is ready to find a family of his own. Let’s get Hank adopted!

Please share this post far and wide to help Hank find his forever home. ❤️🐾

It’s cat season.

We won’t be able to continue to help with a live release rate if we can’t find places for these cats to go.

Our hands our tied.

We currently have 2 semi-friendly outside/barn/working cats that need a place to land.

🆘 Urgent Placement need 🆘

It is too stressful to keep these cats housed in the shelter. We like to place these cats the day of or the next day after their sterilization.

Our barn cats include;

Spay/Neuter
Rabies Vaccination
Eat Tip

They will be ready to work!

The best working cats are ones that keep a safe distance from you, other animals, and equipment.

Please, please, consider hiring a new worker for your out buildings!

We can’t help the feral cat community without placement for these cats.

June 1st and 2nd the office will be closing at NOON.

Please call the Sherrifs Department for emergency calls. 217-774-3941 (Animal Bites).

Leave a message for non-emergency’s and someone will be in touch.
