🐾 Important Intake Policy Reminder 🐾

As a private, nonprofit cat rescue, we are a closed-intake organization. This means we can only accept cats when space, foster homes, and resources are available.

At this time, we have an intake waiting list. If you need to surrender a cat or kittens, you must message us first to be added to the list. We are working through requests as quickly as possible, but we cannot take in every animal immediately.

Please do not bring cats to our facility without prior approval. If you arrive with cats that are not on our waiting list, you will likely be turned away and added to the list to wait your turn. It’s not a long wait! Sometimes a day or 2, sometimes a week or 2. We can help with supplies but we need TIME to plan so that we stay organized.

We have recently experienced an increase in cats being left in our parking lot after hours and litters of kittens being brought in without notice and often without Moms. If you message us first then we might be able to make a plan and get Mom too.

These situations put the animals, our volunteers, and our organization at risk. We cannot continue to operate safely and effectively if our intake procedures are not respected.

Please remember:
✅ Message us to be added to the intake waiting list.
✅ Wait for confirmation before bringing any animals.
❌ Do not leave animals in our parking lot or on our property.

Abandoning animals on our property is considered a criminal offense by law. If individuals are identified abandoning animals, we may report the incident to local law enforcement.

We understand that many people are facing difficult situations, and we truly want to help. However, we are not Animal Control, and we do not have unlimited space or resources. Our volunteers work tirelessly to save as many cats as possible, and following our intake procedures allows us to continue doing that safely and responsibly.

Thank you for respecting our policies and helping us provide the best care possible for the cats already in our program. ❤️🐱

🐾 PARVO IS PREVENTABLE. VACCINATION SAVES LIVES. 🐾

Parvo is one of the most serious diseases we see in puppies, but it’s also one of the most preventable.

Many people don’t realize that Parvo can survive in the environment for months—even years—and puppies can be exposed through contaminated ground, surfaces, and areas where infected dogs have been.

At the Dyersburg-Dyer County Humane Society, puppies suspected of having Parvo are immediately isolated and started on supportive care. One of the most important parts of treatment is hydration, and our staff works hard to give every puppy the best chance possible.

But the reality is this:

💉 The best treatment is prevention.

Keeping your puppy up to date on vaccinations is the safest and most effective way to protect them from this devastating virus.

Please take a moment to read through this information and share it with fellow pet owners. A simple vaccine today could save a life tomorrow. ❤️

📰 Good News 📣

We did it! We found Maganser and Marley homes. They’ve both been pre adopted ❤️

Thank you for all the shares, the visibility truly helps bring families in to meet their new family members.

Today’s mission: Find Marley a home or a rescue!

She can be pre adopted (just had to get spayed before leaving!) so if you want to add her to your family go to animal control and meet her!

If your rescue group can take her please let me know.
