About COPE Animal Rescue

COPE (Cat Overpopulation Planned Endeavor) is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to reducing the number of homeless and unwanted pets in Will and Grundy counties, spaying and neutering as many cats as possible through our TNR program, removing non-feral strays from the streets and placing them into our adoption program after providing them with proper medical care.

We are also committed to rescuing abandoned and/or injured pets who are in need of medical attention and forever homes. COPE is a no-kill organization, and does not believe in euthanasia as a means of controlling pet overpopulation.

COPE is 100% volunteer managed and operated, and all funds received for the animals go toward the medical care, spaying/neutering, and the daily care of our pets until they are adopted into a forever family.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
