About Arden's Arc
Arden's Arc is an all breed animal rescue dedicated to saving dogs with special needs and reducing the feral cat population.
Lately, Arden's Arc has been focused on helping outdoor cats. We participate in the Trap-Neuter-Return program, a humane way to reduce the stray cat population.
TNR means we catch the homeless cats from the streets, alleys, commercial/industrial locations, and anywhere else we find them. They are examined by a veterinarian, tested for contagious diseases, neutered, vaccinated against rabies and distemper, dewormed, and given flea/tick preventative. After they recuperate from surgery, we return them to their outdoor environment.
Cats who are friendly to humans (cats who once had an indoor home and have lost their way or were abandoned) or if they are young enough to be socialized, they will be placed in a home rather than returned to the street. This is a proven, humane way to control the stray cat population. It benefits the cats as well as the community.

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.
