About Gem City Kitties

Gem City Kitties is a Non-Profit rescue that works in conjunction with Gem City Catfe. Gem City Catfe is a Cat Cafe in Dayton Ohio which combines coffee and delicious baked goods with cat interaction and adoption. The Cafe side is completely separate from the Cat side and there are separate HVAC systems which keeps us allergy friendly!

We envision Dayton as a place in which all of our feline friends are valued, protected, and treated with empathy, and compassion.We seek to end the euthanasia of healthy animals due to overpopulation through adoption and education. Our commitment to community outreach and education-based programs highlights these important issues:

•Reducing re-homing of pets for behavioral concerns through proper training techniques

•Spaying and neutering owned pets

•Coexisting responsibly with community cats

•Adopting rather than purchasing pets

•Explaining why declawing is inhumane and often creates health and behavioral complications, and providing nonsurgical, humane alternatives ​

•Showcasing enrichment for indoor cats and recommending owned cats to live indoors

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in Dayton, OH.

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.
