We do not offer the following services, but we are more than happy to point you in the right direction.

Relocation of free-roaming cats. We do not relocate free-roaming cats except in extremem circumstances, as it detracts from our mission of humanely reducing the local free-roaming cat population. Additionally, relocation is stressful for the animals and doesn't always work. Read about why it is generally not a good idea to relocate free-roaming cats.

Sheltering and re-homing services. We do not offer re-homing or sheltering services. If you wish to give up a companion animal, please educate yourself about ways that you might keep your pet in the face of financial difficulties or pet behavior problems. After you’ve educated yourself about the alternatives of relinquishing a companion animal and you are sure you need to give up your pet, please contact a local rescue organization or the Carteret County Humane Society at 252.247.7744.

Please read these tips on working with animal rescues.
