Intake Policies

 

two kittens being cared for at our shelter

 

For pets needing to be rescued, we keep a waiting list and drop offs must be arranged in advance. Openings for kittens become available most often, however, we normally have a long list and are never able to take in all pets needing rescue.  We care for as many pets as our finances allow and according to how many our limited number of volunteers can care for.

Please do not drop off pets without making prior arrangements.  Additionally, please do not leave pets outside our building.

While your intentions may be good, this is considered animal abandonment and is illegal. In bad weather conditions our volunteers may not find the pet in time. Healthy adoptable pets taken in by prior arrangement are kept until an appropriate home is found; however, those left without notice may be sent to the County Animal Management shelter if we are unable to provide care for them.

We do not have the facilities to care for dogs at this time.
