Cats

The Ocean County Health Department operates two animal facilities. The Ocean County Animal Facilities provide temporary housing for dogs and cats and maintain a 24-hour receiving service for stray animals that are brought in by Municipal Animal Control Officers. Features of the shelters include indoor/outdoor dog runs, cat rooms, isolation areas and surgical facilities. All of the pets we adopt out are spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on all age appropriate vaccinations, and receive a general health exam from our veterinarian.

KMR Inc. was founded in 2010 by Susanne Hoshino in order to rescue homeless animals from high-kill environments. We assess, vet, adopt out, and/or transport to our Rescue Partners and provide outreach/education for pet retention and animal welfare.

St. Francis Society Animal Rescue is an all volunteer, non-profit 501-c-3 animal rescue organization dedicated to saving the lives of sick, injured, and stray domestic animals as well as spay/neuter and medical services for those animals. We seek to place animals in a loving foster or permanent home after recovery and we DO NOT euthanize unless terminal illness necessitates such a decision. All of our animals are spayed/neutered, tested for leukemia/FIV (cats), wormed and vaccinated before they are adopted.

The Stray Love Foundation began formally advocating for the local animal community in 2010 and, as a foster based animal rescue group has since placed over 1,400 animals in stable, safe and loving homes locally and throughout the country. The Stray Love Foundation has four primary missions: (1) To assist stray, injured and abandoned animals through vet care, fostering, and adoption; (2) TNR projects (trap, neuter, return) with the assistance of the Foley Police Department; (3) To facilitate and support the elderly and indigent with pet care, including vet costs, spay/neuter, and re-homing as necessary (also known as our Big Love Projects); and (4) To provide educational outreach programs to children and local groups to build awareness of the importance of companion animals as well as the importance of kind and compassionate treatment towards all animals. Our founder had always rescued on her own for decades but after moving to the Gulf Coast and the BP Oil spill occurred, the need for animal rescue increased exponentially. Being a business woman, our founder reached out to some of her peers to form a board and began formally operating as the Stray Love Foundation in April of 2010.

Solano County Animal Care Division is responsible for the care of all stray, injured and owner surrendered animals for the seven surrounding cities: Benicia, Dixon, Fairfield, Rio Vista, Suisun City, Vacaville, and Vallejo. We are devoted and dedicated to the service of our residents and welfare of all animals residing in Solano County. We strive to go above and beyond for the animals in our care and community. One of our goals and mission is to place a positive light on the negative stigma that surrounds a county shelter. As the office supervisor, I pride myself in the work that I do on and off hours for my community, the animals, and my team. I am proud to work along side my teammates who are just as hard working and passionate at what they do and why.

We are a group of animal loving volunteers that helps place cats & kittens from the local animal control and those abandoned in the streets to find homes and to transport north to partner shelters. South Florida is overloaded with unwanted cats.

Local Whiskers, Inc. was established in March 2019 to rescue, treat, and find forever homes for at-risk cats found outside in York County and surrounding areas. We are a foster-based rescue with loving and knowledgable cat ladies spread throughout the county answering the call to help local kitties and bring them into our homes until they are adopted into their purrfect family! We are firmly committed to spaying or neutering all pets, and we assist in TNR projects for community cats. We are deeply grateful for community support, including donations, adoptions, and fostering!
