Cat Foster/adopt app https://www.jotform.com/form/200997587139168 All dogs are in foster care, while cats are can be visited at our shelter at 197 Middle Rd. We also keep most kittens and some special needs cats in foster care. We focus our effort

s on pets that wouldnโ€™t do well in traditional shelters. Our mission extends to the Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) of feral cats, training of dogs with behavioral challenges, and education to avoid rehoming of owned animals. What makes CARE unique is that the volunteers take in older animals, sick animals, animals with behavioral issues that would not make it in a traditional shelter, etc. CARE caters to the population of animals that others find not worthy of life. CARE sees the diamonds in the rough, the tail wags beneath the sad eyes, and rehabs the animals back to being happy, healthy, confident family pets who bring so much joy to their families. Along with our sheltering and adoption programs CARE provide basic medical support to these same animals along with helping feral cats and low income folks who would not otherwise be able to keep their pets. In cases where people have found themselves temporarily homeless we have provided shelter for their pets until they have been reunited with their owners. Most of these pets would have ended up on the streets or euthanized. Imagine losing your furry family member as well as your home ? On behalf of the homeless pets we have saved and continue to save, please accept our heartfelt gratitude and thanks. We hope you will support our mission of not giving up on any animal no matter how hopeless their situation may be. We are their voice when no one else is there.

๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸพDAWN & MINA

We have a special requests for a few special cats. These are our shadow cats. They are shy but won't bother you. They just need a safe place to call their own. A sunny window, a warm blanket, and the promise of a bowl of food and water. They are the ones that have always lived in the shadows, patiently watching their bowls be filled and hoping for the courage to come out and eat it. Is it you they have been waiting so patiently for?

Meet Quinn & Maverick !
Whoโ€™s cuter than these 2 brothers from other mothers ? Each found outside alone and lonely but formed a fast friendship after being placed in the same foster home. They would love to stay together and we can only imagine the fun and joy theyโ€™ll bring to their adoptive home.

PSโ€ฆ. They love other cats and will likely do ok with a cat friendly dog and a gradual introduction.

Update - sorry for the delay! The owners met with someone and think itโ€™s a good fit. If he becomes available again within the week, we will read out again. Thank you!

Cooper is URGENT! ๐Ÿšจ

This sweet boy needs a foster home immediately. His family can no longer care for him and none of this is any fault of his own.

Cooper is a 6 year old Sheepadoodle. He is high energy and has a high prey drive so no small animals for him.

He is good with other dogs once he knows them, he can even attend daycare. He can be leash reactive to dogs he does not know.

This boy is snuggly and sweet. He really needs a family who has the time to care for him.

Please email [email protected] if youโ€™re able to help!
