About this organization
Mission
The mission of Cat's Cradle is to ensure and maintain a safe, compassionate community for cats in the Shenandoah Valley. We do this by facilitating and promoting spay/neuter and trap, neuter and return (TNR), conducting foster-based rescue and adoption from local shelters, and providing pet retention and rehoming programs. Our intent is to steadily decrease the intake of cats and kittens at local shelters and to ultimately end the euthanasia of healthy adoptable pets in the communities we serve.
About
Adoption program - 416 cats were adopted in 2018, averaging 35 cats per month. Cats were adopted from our local Petsmart & Petco stores as well as through the internet. All cats were altered, tested, vaccinated and treated for parasites prior to adoption. Many of these cats came to us injured or ill requiring additional vetting expenditures to ready for adoption. Cats were taken in from area organizations, such as Page County Animal Shelter in Page County, VA., and the Shenandoah Valley Animal Services Center in Augusta Co., VA. In addition 198 cats were transported for adoption to two no-kill shelter partners, the Pennsylvania SPCA in Philadelphia, and the Brandywine Valley SPCA in Pennsylvania. Contributed veterinary services in the form of discounts totaled 21,400.42.
