Please, please think twice before giving animals away for free.
While it may seem kind or convenient, “free to a good home” can put innocent animals in heartbreaking danger. Sadly, there are people who look for free pets with harmful intentions — including using them as bait animals, neglecting them, abusing them, breeding them irresponsibly, or abandoning them once the novelty wears off.
Every animal deserves safety, commitment, and a family that is truly prepared to care for them for life. Charging an adoption fee, requiring references, and carefully screening adopters are not about making money — they are about protecting vulnerable lives.
A small adoption fee helps ensure that the person adopting is serious, financially prepared, and willing to invest in the animal’s wellbeing. Rescue groups have these processes in place because we have seen the tragic outcomes when animals fall into the wrong hands.
If you need to rehome a pet, please do it responsibly: • Ask for a veterinary reference
• Require an adoption fee
• Meet in a safe public place or home setting
• Ask questions about the adopter’s experience and plans for the pet
• Never rush the process just because you are desperate to place the animal
Animals are not disposable. They are living, feeling souls who depend on humans to keep them safe. Please help us spread awareness and encourage responsible rehoming practices. It could save a life. 🐾❤️

Please Spay and Neuter!!!

It is the ONLY way out of the current cat overpopulation crisis. It is the ONLY way to end the suffering on the streets. There aren’t enough home for all of the cats. Spaying and neutering you personal pets and any neighborhood/community cats you know of is the ONLY way.

As Mother’s Day approaches, this week is ALL about mom cats… 💜

🐾 Full Circle TNVR is SO important!!! 🐾

Simply removing kittens and not fixing Mom is NEVER the solution — the cycle just starts all over again.

You MUST trap Mom, too. If she is social and adoptable and you have the resources, please bring her indoors as well. No good rescue leaves Mom behind.

If Mom is feral (or no rescue placement is available), please ensure she is spayed, vaccinated, and ear-tipped so she never has to go through pregnancy and birth outdoors again.

Life outdoors is already hard — surviving, finding food, and staying safe is even harder when caring for kittens.

Please be kind to feral cats. 💜
