Simply Cats' mission is to care for, protect, and find quality homes for the cats entrusted to us; to reduce cat overpopulation through spaying and neutering; and to provide educational community outreach programs promoting the humane treatment of all animals. The following are the principles that we abide by: No-Kill: We do not euthanize for space, but we will euthanize if a cat is suffering and there is no reasonable hope of improvement. All decisions to euthanize a cat will be made by the shelter management team. Shelter: We provide a place of protection and refuge, where a cat can live comfortably until it is adopted or lives out its life. Cagelessness: After a cat is deemed ready for adoption by our veterinarian, it will be housed in a room with other cats. The only time a cat will be caged is during its intake isolation period, if it is or becomes ill or injured, or for the safety of other cats. Care: We deal with individual cats, not statistics. Each cat will be provided with a high quality of life, including: All necessary and recommended medical care Fresh food and water Clean, attractive and sanitary housing Appropriate number of litterboxes Sufficient space to live, play and sleep comfortably Access to private space Fresh air and sunlight Activities and toys for physical and mental stimulation Daily human interaction Dignity and respect Spay or Neuter: We spay or neuter each cat before it goes into a new home, unless otherwise recommended by our veterinarian Respect: Every person who comes into the Simply Cats Adoption Center is treated with respect, regardless of the reason for visiting.

to save lives

he Humane Society of Burnett County is a not-for-profit 501 (c3) organization. We do not receive financial assistance from the county. Our sole responsibility lies in the welfare of the pets in our care.

Our rescue group was formed in December 2007, but all our Board Members have had extensive experience rescuing and working with abandoned animals. We often work with other rescue organizations to find appropriate and safe foster and adoptive homes for our pet clients. We regularly go to areas with abandoned animals and collect them. The animals are taken to a licensed veterinarian examined, treated and spayed or neutered. Every effort is made to work with the animal and our foster and adoptive families to find a suitable forever home. For those animals who are truly wild and feral, we release the animal in a safe and secure location after it has recovered from its medical treatment. We also work with certified wildlife rehabilitators to rescue injured and orphaned wildlife. Our organization is focused on improving the welfare of the abandoned animals in need of help in Brooklyn. In furthering that goal, our resources are focused on the animals. Aside from a few minimal overhead costs such as our website and phone services, our entire budget is spent on animal care such as medical and food costs.

We are a small, familly/friend fun rescue service that pulls from high kill shelters.

Incorporated 7/1993, main program TNR (trap-neuter-return), socialize the kittens when possible and adopt out them and any friendly adults.
