A entirely volunteer run organization whose mission is to help animals in need through sheltering, adoption, education, feral spay & neuter, and community outreach. The organization is primarily set up as a cat rescue, but open to rescues of all breeds.

We ask that anyone wanting to, or thinking of, surrendering an animal call the shelter first (740-389-6548), so a manager can speak with them about our procedures and different options for the specific animal and situation. All animals must be surrendered by their legal owner. Once at the shelter, we ask that the animal(s) remain outside or in the safety of the owner’s vehicle until after the appropriate paperwork has been filled out. Once paperwork has been completed you may bring your pet to the door marked “Intake” (not adoption). Medical records of the animals being surrendered should also be brought or at least the name, address and phone number of the animal’s previous veterinarian clinic so a complete history can be obtained for our records If you are dropping of an animal to surrender, please arrive 30min before closing time to process paper work and so that we may feed/water the animal before we close
