Mission
Humane Treatment of Cats
Program accomplishments
- To provide shelter, food and medical care for homeless cats. In 2025 there were 301 cats relinquished to the shelter with 288 adopted out. There were 254 cats sheltered at the end of 2025. Unwanted, adoptable cats are provided a comfortable place to live out their lives. "Life-time Care" is provided for the unadoptable cats and for cats belonging to people who are no longer able to provide appropriate care. Medical care includes entry exams, continuing medical needs, and neutering. Cats are euthanized only when medical treatment cannot improve their condition and/or comfort. Unlike most animal shelters, we do not euthanize cats that are adoptable but not selected for adoption. In that respect, we are a true "No-Kill" shelter.Expenses $1,219,471
