SOS Pets of Ouachita We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that spearheaded the effort to build a new Ouachita Parish Animal Shelter. Pls see that page to sign up!

We're now focusing our efforts to assist with NELA spay & neuter surgeries, through our "Spay Or Snip" program. SOS Pets of Ouachita seeks to raise tax-deductible private donations to construct a new shelter, to replace the existing 1950’s Ouachita Parish Animal Shelter facility. This facility remains in use today and has evolved into an open-admittance facility with an annual intake of ~6,000 animals per year, serving multiple regional parishes, with minimal surrender fees per type of animal. In early 2017 after reports of newborn puppies freezing to death in the shelter, a group of private citizens formed the nonprofit organization, SOS (Save Our Shelter) Pets of Ouachita, with its primary goal of privately funding a new public shelter, to replace the existing facility. From an initial deposit of $1.00, today's cash, in-kind donations and pledged funds have grown to over $1M, with a median private contribution of $20. Due to overwhelming community support to build an all-new animal shelter at a new location instead of piecemealing at the existing undesirable location, the SOS Pets Board of Directors sought and secured 5 acres of donated land to build the new facility. Please help if you can! 100% of the proceeds go to the Shelter Fund. This is a labor of love, and all our time is donated to this cause.

🐱 CALLING ALL CAT PEOPLE! 🐾

Here’s a FUN opportunity to have a say in our NEW shelter! 🎉

We need your ideas to help make our Free-Roam Cat Room, “The Treehouse Lounge,” and our outdoor cat patio, “The Purr-ch,” amazing places for our feline friends!

🏡 What would YOU put in these spaces?

We’re looking for ACTUAL LINKS to products we can purchase, including:

🐾 Cat climbing trees and towers
🐾 Wall-mounted climbing structures and catwalks
🐾 Wall hammocks and cozy perches
🐾 Cute seating for our visitors
🐾 Creative ways to conceal litter boxes
🐾 Other fun, functional features that cats will LOVE!

💡 Shelters & Rescues, we need you, too! What have you seen or used that cats love the most? And what would you do differently if you could build your free-roam area all over again? Share your “We’re so glad we did that!” and “Dang, we wish we’d done that instead!” advice!

💰 WANT NAMING RIGHTS? We currently don't have a sponsor for the Free-Roam area (but we do for the Catio), so here's your chance! If you or your business would like to sponsor this special space and have your name associated with it, we'd LOVE to hear from you!

👇 DROP YOUR PRODUCT LINKS, SHELTER TIPS, AND SPONSORSHIP INTEREST IN THE COMMENTS!

Let’s work together to create spaces that are fun for cats, welcoming for visitors, and designed with feline happiness in mind! ❤️🐈

🐾 WE’RE SEEING A TREND WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE! 🐾

People from all across the USA are buying bricks in honor of the fosters and rescuers who helped rescue their adopted furbabies!

And it’s simply MELTING the hearts of these amazing rescuers who helped bridge the gap between "homeless" and "home" 🥹❤️

Did a rescuer help get your furbaby to you? Consider purchasing a commemorative brick in their honor!

📍 If you can, pls include your CITY & STATE on the brick! We can’t wait to see just how far our Southern pets have traveled to their furever homes! 🐶🐱❤️
