SAVE A LIFE! ADOPT A STRAY! Olmsted Falls Cat Adoption
Saving one animal may not change the world, but, it will surely change the world for that one animal! PLEASE READ Cities that don't utilize a portion of tax dollars toward such services BURDEN the Cleveland Animal Protective Leaugue and cities responsible enough to provide those services. This is why several rescues wind up euthanizing animals. We need your help as much as you may need ours. WE DO NOT TRAP, NEUTER, AND RELEASE! WE TRAP, NEUTER, & FIND HOMES! IT'S RARE TO COME ACROSS A FERAL CAT WHO DOESN'T RESPOND TO HUMAN LOVE AND COMPANIONSHIP. Who says you can't tame a feral cat? video Cats live a rough life outside, which shows on their bodies. Most of our cats had fleas, ear mites, and worms. That was the minor stuff. Many of them had bite wounds, or other serious injuries from fights, one even arrived with a missnig ear. Some, sadly, had Feline Aids and Leukemia. The point I'm making is if cats were meant to live outside, they'd not be so ailment ridden when rescued. If they had it so good outside, they'd not be eating your garbage on garbage night. They'd not sleep under your car, or in an open garage, or shed if they didn't seek shelter and warmth. And the truth is, at least for our Cat Rescue Opertation, MOST OF OUR CATS CAME TO US seeking help! We accept that some cats revert to wild behaviors and may need to live outdoors. However, they still need a barn or other suitable weatherproof shelter & regular access to food and water. We have found most cats are tameable and indeed crave human companionship. We are seeking Foster Care Volunteers to participate in our life-saving programs. You have the opportunity to provide in-home care to special needs cats or kittens in injury/surgery recovery. Volunteers receive animal-care training & can determine the types of animals they wish to care for. In return, the animals are able to become successfully adopted, while preventing shelter over-population. learn more>> * We are not partnered with any rescue groups in Olmsted Falls, however, if you are a rescue worker or group within the city and would like to work together toward a unified city rescue organization, contact us.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A FREE CAT OR KITTEN! Rarely, if ever, do we come across a kitten that isn't infested with fleas, worms, or ear mites. These conditions must be treated and if they aren't, further costly complications will arise. Adopting from a rescue is beneficial for several reasons. For one, the cats leave spayed or neutered and up to date on their shots. It costs about $130 or more to get a cat tested, vaccinated, and “fixed.” Instead of your “free” kitten you could have gotten one from the animal shelter with all of this already done for anywhere from $35 to $65. So what about those of you who refuse to invest $35 - $65 into a cat? Well, some things are better left unsaid however our cats and kittens aren't free. If you can't afford to pay that, obviously you can't afford to adequately care for your new pet. It might not cost you directly here and now-but it’s going to cost the county and its residents plenty when that one cat turns into thousands in only four years. And it won’t just cost the cash that will have to be put out to deal with the overpopulation problem and inevitable euthanasia. It will also cost shelter employees, volunteers, and rescue groups the emotional burden of seeing the offspring from your one free cat have to be put to sleep because there is no room in the shelter. People who don't alter their cats wind up with houses covered in cat spray, because unfixed cats will spray. The scent is none too pleasant and smells similar to skunk spray and is equally difficult to get rid of.
***Please be sure to read all of the materials we've gathered about socalizing your new cat or kitten upon arrival into your home. Cats don't arrive like dogs, eager and excited. They're scared and will undoubedly hide if you don't properly introduce them.learn about socializing a new cat>>
