The Thrift Store contributes to the community in many different ways including fostering unwanted cats and kittens in our “Cat Rooms” until they find permanent homes. We operate strictly on memberships, donations from caring individuals, and revenue from our Thrift Store. Unlike the shelter, we are not supported by government funds. I have been with Cherokee for over 5 years, and I love it!! I love knowing when I go to bed at night that I have made a difference in many animals lives as well as the adopters life!

You can either locate your next furbaby on one of the many adoption webstes we use such as adoptapet or petfinder, or you can come to an adoption event , pick out the animal of choice, get to know more about them , possible home visit etc, some cases warrant a trial period. Then you fill out paperwork , and pay adoption fee (varies , but standard is $150 cat/kitten , and $250/$300 dog/puppy)
