🚨 Foster or Nursing Mama Needed for Kitten 🚨

We are urgently looking for either a nursing mama cat willing to accept a young kitten or a dedicated foster who can care for a bottle baby.

The kitten needs a safe, loving environment and regular feedings to help it thrive. Supplies and support may be available depending on the situation.

If you have a nursing cat, experience with bottle babies, or are willing to learn, please reach out as soon as possible. Even sharing this post could help us find the right placement.

Please call Lisa at (740)680-0956 if you can help or know someone who might be able to. Thank you for supporting animals in need!

Horrible

‼️‼️

Ohio has just taken a powerful stand for animals—and it’s one that could change lives.

In a unanimous 7–0 decision, the Ohio Supreme Court ruled that the state’s felony animal cruelty law, known as Goddard’s Law, applies to all cats and dogs—whether they have an owner or not.

The law is named after Dick Goddard, a beloved Cleveland TV meteorologist who became widely known not just for forecasting the weather, but for his deep commitment to animal welfare. For decades, he used his platform to speak out against cruelty and promote pet adoption—helping inspire stronger protections for animals across the state.

Until now, Ohio's lower court had interpreted the law differently, ruling that only pets receiving care qualified for felony protection—meaning harming a stray could be treated as a lesser offence.

That has now changed.

The case began with a heartbreaking act of cruelty in 2021, when a stray kitten in a Cleveland apartment basement was attacked. The conviction that followed was later overturned on appeal, sparking outrage and prompting major animal welfare groups—including the Humane Society of the United States, Alley Cat Allies, Cleveland Animal Protective League, and the Animal Legal Defense Fund—to step in and push for clarity.

With this ruling, there is no longer a distinction between a pet and a stray when it comes to protection under the law.

Every cat. Every dog. Protected.

Ohio now stands as one of the strongest states in the country for animal protection—sending a clear message that cruelty, no matter who the animal belongs to, will be taken seriously.
