We started as a volunteer group saving the lives of over 50 cats in a hoarder situation. We are now a fully licensed rescue/shelter, working on our 501c3 status for non profit. We will be planning fundraisers, and are always in need of donations and supplies, either cash or items! We are strictly volunteer based, and our goal is to become Hamilton County 'animal control' to help the entire county with animals in need. Our director has worked in animal rescue for 10+ years, and enjoys every minute of it.

We are a small rescue group/shelter specializing in felines, but also assist in placing canines in need. We also offer education and information regarding low cost spay/neuter clinics, rehoming your animals, behavior training, and assisting with lost/found pets. We do NOT euthanize unless absolutely necessary due to quality of life.
Additional adoption info
We have a full adoption application you must be approved for prior to adopting your new pet. You can meet the animals beforehand, or be pre-approved before arrival. The application includes vet reference on your current pets if any, landlord approval if you rent, and agreeance on adoption fee. The application process is at no charge, and animal adoption fees vary from $50 to $150.
