TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return)

We were founded in 1972 by Gertrude Maxwell exclusively for the humane care and treatment of animals and states our purposes as follows: A. Subscribe to and maintain the principle that spaying & neutering of companion animals is the only effective and humane way to end pet over-population. B. Subscribe to and maintain the principle that animal euthanasia shall not be performed simply because there are too many animals. "No-kill means that animals are not destroyed except in cases of terminal and painful illness, when compassion demands euthanasia because there is no reasonable alternative." C. Find suitable homes for animals sheltered by S-A-P and its foster homes. D. Provide funds for emergency veterinary care for financially challenged individuals. E. Conduct programs designed to promote the kind treatment of animals and the prevention of cruelty to animals.

Cat Rangers was founded under the Center for the Advancement of Higher Knowledge as a rescue organization that assists and rescues cats and kittens in crisis, whether in a shelter, abandoned or otherwise homeless. We provide these homeless kittys with medical care and a safe place to live while looking for their furever homes. We have rescued thousands of wayward kitties over the past 6 years. Our mission is to assist as many "last chance" kitties and animal loving humans as possible.

Goals and Objectives of the ALSPCA 1.

I have been rescuing for more than 40 years and finally established Valley Cats, Inc. in 1999. We are 501(c)3, all volunteer and totally dedicated to the rescuing, rehabilitating, and re-homing of cats in our care. Stray and abandoned cats are not as visible in neighborhoods and empty lots as dogs are and we want to be there for them. Our mission is to rescue cats and kittens in need, rehabilitate and re-home them. Many of our rescues come to us hurt, sick, scared or abandoned. We work with them until they are ready for adoption. We are a no-kill organization and our volunteers and Board of Directors are dedicated to preserving the life and dignity of every animal we take in.

Operation Pets Alive! believes that many in our community share our values with regard to homeless dogs and cats. Therefore, we see a need to increase community awareness and community involvement regarding the No-Kill movement and the plight of homeless dogs and cats in our community. We want to help people “do the right thing” for animals. Operation Pets Alive! is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization striving to elevate Montgomery County to a No-Kill community through innovative programs that: Raise community awareness Reduce the number of dogs and cats that enter our shelters Increase the number of dogs and cats that leave our shelters alive

FMAR is a no-kill animal shelter. Our property includes two buildings. One for cats and one for dogs. The former includes a screened patio for the cats and the latter, a large yard for the dogs to play in. Once we take in an animal, it has a home with us for it's lifetime. Some of the animals have stayed with FMAR for years before being adopted. The animals at FMAR are rescued from nearby pounds, accepted (as space is available) from the public, or left on our doorstep. FMAR is comprised solely of volunteers that have a deep love of animals. The shelters are thoroughly cleaned twice a day. All dogs are either walked or given play time in the yard every day. We have an well developed TNR program, offer educational programs for kids, and allow people to volunteer to fulfill community service hours. FMAR is well-know and well-respected in our community, and we continue to strive to provide services to the people and animals in our area.

We are a small group of people dedicated to ending feline overpopulation in our area. We do this through trap-neuter-return and low cost spay/neuter services through a variety of clinics. We also work to keep feral cats from being killed in shelters buy offering TNR and our farm cat program. We offer help to owners of cats for behavioral issues to try and keep these animals in their home.

Community Cat Rescue is a group of experienced rescue and TNR volunteers who are working to reduce the population of homeless cats and improve their lives. We manage cat colonies, actively trap for spay/neuter, assist others with colonies and trapping, rescue adoptable (socializable) kittens and cats for adoption and manage a network of foster homes. All cats are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and given appropriate veterinary care before adoption. Our fostercare standards are very high! We host a minimum of 2 outreach adoption events per month, and often as many as 6 events. Our events are also open to verified independent rescuers in our community who meet our health and care standards, because we want to help as many cats and kittens as possible.

Life Savers Animal Rescue (LSAR) consists of a dedicated and caring group of individuals working to rescue animals in urgent need. The focus of Life Savers Animal Rescue (LSAR) is animals in urgent need. Our animals have been forgotten, rejected, or abandoned for a variety of reasons and would most likely be euthanized if we did not intercede on their behalf. We believe these animals deserve a second chance at finding a lifetime guardian or caretaker to ensure they live out the rest of their lives in a caring environment.

Founded in 1965, Willamette Humane Society is a private, nonprofit animal welfare organization dedicated to promoting the welfare of animals through leadership, education and action. We shelter and care for approximately 9,000 animals each year and place adoptable pets in new, loving homes.
