Really nice big area for the kitties! The staff is kind, my baby Simba was adopted from here a while back! They are really active on social media trying to find homes for the kitties who cannot find homes because they are older or have health problems and that really warms my heart that they are trying! I highly recommend adopting here or donating if you can!

There is no animal shelter better than this one! Pam and Harry, the two kind people who started it, truly love the animals. They are responsible for four shelters: the main shelter, the kitten nursery, the feral barn, and the FIV kitty shelter (aka Harry's House). Every kitty is free range, meaning animals are cage free unless they are sick or new. The main shelter has many adorable adult kitties up for adoption. The kitten nursery is for tiny kittens, sometimes even newborns and their moms. The feral barn is unique because these kitties are all ferals treated to cat food, fans, heat when needed, water, vet care. They live in a barn and are allowed to hunt, play, and do whatever on plenty of fenced in for safety land. Harry's House is a safe place for sick kitties, FIV positive, etc. The volunteers are amazing, and everyone cares so much about the kitties that the kitties dont realize they are not in a home.

I really can't give it a rating as far as going in or seeing too much of anything. Didn't get to talk to anyone nobody didn't answer the phone nobody came outside when we were sitting in the driveway and I was afraid to go to the door. But it looks bad from the outside. I went there to donate some money in the name of my deceased friends. She spoke highly of the place years ago it looks pretty run down. I saw one cat out there running in the pen well I ain't going to say running it was moving slow and easy and it looked bad. I don't think I would want to put a cat in there if I was trying to save its life. Sorry but I can only say what I saw and it looks run down.

Overall OK but needs work. They don't seem to want my help there and also the living conditions for the cats are not too great. It's an old building with mold which is unhealthy for both people and animals. It's not well located so they don't get that many adoptions. The cats don't seem to be use to people in the non feral section. So mostly building issues though but needs major overhauls to be considered OK. I wouldn't give my cats there. They are no kill shelter that's the positive thing I can say for them.

This place is a sham! They have no desire to adopt out the cats. I tried to adopt 2 cats from this shelter and no one could tell me what the fees were or if the cats were available. Once I got in touch with the owner, she told me the Board would have to approve our application and they didn't have a Board meeting scheduled. Then she told me the cat we were interested in had been adopted out in the last 4 days. How is that possible when there wasn't a Board meeting to approve adoptions?!?! One volunteer was lovely to deal with and was really hopeful we would adopt a cat but she clearly wasn't part of the decision making. Stay away from this place.
