My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet this charming fella named Ernest! He came into the shelter as a stray on February 29, 2024 and was never reclaimed so he’s now awaiting his adoption day. He is a SWEET SWEET fella who is around 5 years old, current on shots, now neutered, and excited to meet you. He has the most unique coloring and loves to soak up all the rubbing and loving one has time to share with him. Just a cool cat needing a loving FOREVER home to call his own. Maybe you’re the perfect person for sweet Ernest?! Stop by for a visit with him and adopt him into your family today.

More about this shelter

We are a non-profit orginization relying on donations. We do have a contract witht the county to provide shelter for strays brought in. We have limited space but try to get our animals back to thier families and if that can not be accomplished we work hard on finding them new homes.
We do what we do because we love animals. We are realistic in in efforts, understand the problem and work towards educating the public on what needs to be done to prevent over population.
