This cat named "BABY" hid under the bed for 2 months! Char, the founder, did not take the cat back but let Baby take her time to acclimate to her new home and eventually Baby started being social with her and a year later started being social with the family and later started being social with anyone. Then Char had 2 more kids & they were diagnosed with behavioral or challenged disorders which also attributed her knowledge of dealing with behavior challenges. Baby passed away July 2021 & char decided to start a rescue. OUR THOUGHTS, MISSION, & INTAKES:
Some cats have behaviors, personalities, likes, & dislikes similar to people & we should respect that not knowing where they came from or what they have been through, especially being rescued from the street, injured, or coming from a deceased owner. We strive to evaluate all supposed "feral" cats that come in to our shelter to be evaluated for a minimum of 1 week to 30 days for proper placement & behavior evaluation. We do NOT place cats to Barns that are not able to be barn cats and are NOT feral. Many cats seem to mimic "feral" behavior in the outdoor environment but are in reality scared and want to be dependent upon humans as an indoor cat & life companion. We provide a second chance for the "RESCUED" cats to be able to live out their lives in placement where they want. We do NOT support what the COMMUNITY wants; we support what the CATS want & need! We have found that 80% of the cats that we receive as "feral" are actually social cats and were just scared to be outside. These cats do NOT need to go to barn homes! We also provide sanctuary and enclosed relocations for injured ferals (amputees, eye enocleation, deformities, etc.). We are unable to intake medically needy/sick ferals or unsocial cats at this time. However, we do take FIV positive cats.
