🐱❤️ MEET JD & MIKEY: TWO PEAS IN A POD!

These two have been through a lot together, and now we’re hoping they can find their forever home TOGETHER! 🏡

JD and Mikey came into our care very sick. They’ve since made a full recovery, grown up side by side, and become the best of friends!

These two go together like peanut butter and jelly! 🥜❤️

They’ve been through the hard times together, and we’d love nothing more than to see them spend the rest of their lives together, too.

🐾 JD & Mikey are fully vetted and ready for adoption! Both are litter box trained, spayed/neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and up to date on flea prevention.

Two best friends. One forever home. Twice the love! ❤️

Did you know hundreds of kittens enter our local shelter every month?

Shelters are no place for vulnerable kittens. Kittens belong in HOMES! ❤️

Thanks to our Life Ride Transport Program, we’re able to move cats and kittens out of our overcrowded community and into the care of no-kill rescue partners up north!

JUST LAST SUNDAY, WE SENT 45 CATS AND KITTENS ON A LIFE RIDE! 🎉

These kittens go from having nowhere to go in an overpopulated shelter to hitting the adoption floor at partnering rescues, where many find their forever families within just a few weeks! 🏡

But getting them there takes more than just a van!

💉Before transport, every cat and kitten needs vaccinations, FeLV/FIV testing, flea prevention & deworming.
⛽ Gas alone costs approximately $400 per round trip!

At least once a month, we pack a van full of cats and kittens, say our goodbyes, and send them off toward their happily ever afters.

And the best part?

The SAME DAY that van leaves, we’re already refilling our foster homes with MORE kittens who desperately need us. 🥹❤️ That’s what rescue looks like. It’s a constant cycle of saving lives, making room, and saving even more.

🚐 WANT TO HELP KEEP OUR LIFE RIDES ROLLING?

Your donations help cover transportation, medical preparation, and the costs of getting these animals one step closer to their forever homes.

Every mile matters. Every foster home matters. Every donation helps us save another life. 🐾

October was an incredible month for cat adoptions!

Last month was filled with happy endings, new beginnings, and LOTS of lucky kitties finding their forever families! 🏡

🧡 October was also Subaru Loves Pets Month! We’re grateful to O'Steen Subaru of Valdosta for partnering with us to support animal welfare in our community and helping us make a difference for pets in need.

To every family who opened their hearts and homes to a rescue cat this October, THANK YOU for choosing adoption!

🐾 NOW LET’S SEE THOSE HAPPY TAILS!

Did you adopt a cat or kitten from us in October? Drop a picture in the comments! We’d LOVE to see how they’re settling into their new homes! ❤️

MORE THAN 60 DOGS & CATS ARE HEADING TO MINNESOTA! WE NEED FOSTERS!

On November 21, almost 60 dogs and cats will be flying to Minnesota for their second chance at life! ❤️

But there’s one problem…

We have MANY dogs and cats who need a temporary place to stay until their flight!

🏡 FOSTERING IS FREE!
We provide the food, supplies, and veterinary care. You provide a safe place to stay and a little love!

✈️ THEY ALREADY HAVE HOMES WAITING!
Our transport dogs are pre-adopted up north, meaning they’re NOT available for adoption. So if you’ve always wanted to foster but worry about getting too attached, this is the PERFECT opportunity!

⏳ IT’S TEMPORARY!
You’re basically puppy sitting (or kitty sitting 😉) until November 21!

No long-term commitment. No adoption pressure. Just a temporary houseguest who needs somewhere safe to crash before heading to their forever home.

You don’t have to adopt to save a life. You just have to open your home for a little while. ❤️

November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month, and Ella is ready to find her forever home! ❤️

At 10 years old, Ella has already been through enough. She was found weaving in and out of traffic with a cord wrapped around her neck. Thankfully, she’s now safe in foster care and waiting for a family to call her own.

Ella is about as easy as they come!

She’s dog friendly with dogs of all sizes, potty trained, crate trained, and even enjoys free roam of her foster home. She’s calm, low maintenance, and would make a wonderful addition to just about any family.

At just 35 pounds, Ella is the perfect little low rider, complete with short corgi legs and adorable ears that stand straight up!

Adoption Fee: $125
Ella is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and up to date on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.

Ella has already learned how to be the perfect houseguest. Now she’s ready to be a permanent family member. 🏡

Interested in adopting Ella? Apply here: https://www.humanesocietyofvaldosta.org/adoptables/ &page=shelterluv_wrap_1733848822%2Fembed%2Fanimal%2FHSVL-A-107001

Please share and help us find Ella her forever home this November!

🐾🔎 FOUND A PET? HERE’S WHAT TO DO!

Found a dog or cat wandering around Lowndes County? Before assuming they’ve been abandoned, remember that someone could be desperately searching for them! ❤️

Here’s how YOU can help reunite a lost pet with their family!

🐾 1. CHECK FOR A MICROCHIP!
Take the animal to a local veterinary clinic, animal shelter, or our Humane Society to have them scanned for a microchip. It’s FREE and could reunite them with their family in minutes!

📍 2. REPORT THE FOUND PET!
Report the animal to Lowndes County Animal Shelter (LCAS) so there’s an official record of where and when they were found.

⚠️ Found animals are subject to a 5-day stray hold before they can be considered for adoption or rehoming.

📸 3. POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA!
Share clear photos and the location where the animal was found.

Post on:
🐾 Local lost-and-found Facebook groups
🐾 Nextdoor
🐾 Petco Love Lost: https://petcolove.org/lost/

📢 4. PUT UP FOUND PET FLYERS!
Not everyone uses social media! Place flyers around the neighborhood, nearby businesses, and veterinary offices.

🏡 5. CAN YOU KEEP THEM SAFE TEMPORARILY?
If you’re able to safely house the animal while searching for its owner, you may be able to prevent them from entering an already overcrowded shelter!

Make sure to keep found animals separated from your personal pets until their health and behavior can be assessed.

❤️ 6. NEED HELP? REACH OUT TO US!
Our Humane Society can help guide you through the process, provide resources, and help you report the animal to the shelter.

REMEMBER: A FOUND PET IS NOT AUTOMATICALLY A HOMELESS PET!

They may have escaped through an open door, slipped out of a collar, or gotten frightened and run away.

Their family could be looking for them RIGHT NOW. 🥺❤️

🐾 PLEASE SHARE! The more people who know what to do when they find an animal, the more pets we can reunite with their families and keep out of overcrowded shelters!
