Seniors for Seniors Program

Recently, we launched our new "senior for seniors" program which allows individuals 62 and older to adopt a fully vetted, adult or senior cat for $42.50. This new program was created to raise awareness for our many senior cats in our program and to help them find their forever homes! Please consider filling out an adoption application and talking with one of our counselors to find out which of our adult or senior cats would be a right fit for you and your home.

Pet Overpopulation Statistics

As of 2005, Metro Atlanta pet overpopulation statistics were staggering. Of the 19 county animal control shelters surveyed, 130,000 animals were impounded collectively (SPOTsociety.org). Of the animals impounded, a mere 8% were reclaimed and only 22% were adopted or transferred to rescue agencies. The sad part of the story is that close to 60% of the impounded animals were euthanized due to a lack of homes in the Metro Atlanta area. In some remote counties, this number is as high as 90%. You can help reduce these statistics by taking advantage of the low cost spay/neuter resources on our website.
