SAVE A LIFE! ADOPT A STRAY! Olmsted Falls Cat Adoption

Come meet A.J. & Drita; 6-month old brother and sister. They've been looking for a home together since May 2011.Also, please help a beautiful bengal cat named ASIA find a new home.

This is not the face of a happy cat! Help us turn that frown upside down and adopt Asia, our Polydactyl female Bengal cat!

(above) This is Asia when we first got her, looking confident and lean. (left) This is Asia now. Asia went from a content, strong, and confident cat, to a cat hiding away in one room, often under the bed from another cat in the house who has her quarantined, literally. She is incredibly loving, and is a total companion animal - she needs to be in a home where she can be a companion. She used to lay on the very top of a at house, in front of a window, in the sun every day. >>read more about ASIA and consider ADOPTING ASIA

Saving one animal may not change the world, but, it will surely change the world for that one animal!

* Only 1 out of 10 dogs born ever get a home.

* Only 1 out of 12 cats born ever find a home.

* 800 dogs & cats are KILLED each HOUR in the U.S, because there are not
enough homes for them.

* A shelter animal is KILLED EVERY 1.5 SECONDS in the United States.

* For every animal that dies in a shelter, there is a HUMAN
somewhere RESPONSIBLE for its death.

PLEASE READ
This web site was set up to spread awareness, educate, and most of all, be a forum to post pictures and videos of the cats and kittens needing homes. WE are 1 1/2 people. We are not an "official" rescue and hope someday soon Olmsted Falls will start providing its residents animal control services.

Cities that don't utilize a portion of tax dollars toward such services BURDEN the Cleveland Animal Protective Leaugue and cities responsible enough to provide those services. This is why several rescues wind up euthanizing animals.

We need your help as much as you may need ours.

WE DO NOT TRAP, NEUTER, AND RELEASE! WE TRAP, NEUTER, & FIND HOMES!

Cats are NOT meant to live outside, at least not in the numbers they're out there. They live a rough life outside, which shows on their bodies. Most of our cats had fleas, ear mites, and worms. That was the minor stuff. Many of them had bite wounds, or other serious injuries from fights, one even arrived with a missnig ear. Some, sadly, had Feline Aids and Leukemia.

The point I'm making is if cats were meant to live outside, they'd not be so ailment ridden when rescued. If they had it so good outside, they'd not be eating your garbage on garbage night. They'd not sleep under your car, or in an open garage, or shed if they didn't seek shelter and warmth.

And the truth is, at least for our Cat Rescue Opertation, MOST OF OUR CATS CAME TO US seeking help! We accept that some cats revert to wild behaviors and may need to live outdoors. However, they still need a barn or other suitable weatherproof shelter & regular access to food and water. We have found most cats are tameable and indeed crave human companionship.

We are seeking Foster Care Volunteers to participate in our life-saving programs. You have the opportunity to provide in-home care to special needs cats or kittens in injury/surgery recovery. Volunteers receive animal-care training & can determine the types of animals they wish to care for. In return, the animals are able to become successfully adopted, while preventing shelter over-population. learn more>>  

* We are not partnered with any rescue groups in Olmsted Falls, however, if you are a rescue worker or group within the city and would like to work together toward a unified city rescue organization, contact us.

ALL our CATS & kittens are VACCINATED, SPAYED/NEUTERED, & TREATED w/REVOLUTION.
Revolution is a safe and simple monthly topical medication used to protect your pet from heartworms, fleas, and ear mites. It also protects dogs from ticks and sarcoptic mange and cats from roundworms and hookworms. Revolution requires a prescription from your veterinarian.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A FREE CAT OR KITTEN!

Rarely, if ever, do we come across a kitten that isn't infested with fleas, worms, or ear mites. These conditions must be treated and if they aren't, further costly complications will arise. Adopting from a rescue is beneficial for several reasons. For one, the cats leave spayed or neutered and up to date on their shots.

It costs about $130 or more to get a cat tested, vaccinated, and “fixed.” Instead of your “free” kitten you could have gotten one from the animal shelter with all of this already done for anywhere from $35 to $65.

So what about those of you who refuse to invest $35 - $65 into a cat? Well, some things are better left unsaid however our cats and kittens aren't free. If you can't afford to pay that, obviously you can't afford to adequately care for your new pet.

It might not cost you directly here and now-but it’s going to cost the county and its residents plenty when that one cat turns into thousands in only four years. And it won’t just cost the cash that will have to be put out to deal with the overpopulation problem and inevitable euthanasia. It will also cost shelter employees, volunteers, and rescue groups the emotional burden of seeing the offspring from your one free cat have to be put to sleep because there is no room in the shelter.

People who don't alter their cats wind up with houses covered in cat spray, because unfixed cats will spray. The scent is none too pleasant and smells similar to skunk spray and is equally difficult to get rid of.

Kako, purebred Siameeas kitten has been living with his current family since he was 6-weeks old. He's not getting along well with the other 2 cats living there. This could have been because he was only recently neutered. If you are interested in meeting Kako please all Judy at 440-241-4171 or 440-282-2942.

Veronica is mother to Red and Reese. She's really in need of a good home with someone that will love and patience. She's pretty frightened (but sweet). Both kittens have been adopted and we really want to find her a loving home where someone can dote on her. She is very sweet and loves to be pet.

Mufasa (3yr old male) is definately a lost or discarded pet. He obviously didn't know where to go for shelter and was a soaking wet mess when found and very hungry. More info forthcoming. View More Pics

Nugget was rescued by a woman who intended to keep her. Nugget was taken to the vet for her shots and spay surgery and while there was tested for Feline Leukemia. Sadly, she tested Positive and as a result, the woman who rescued her can't keep her because she has another cat and Feline Leukemia is contagious to other cats, NOT DOGS or other pets. Nugget has been confined to living in a bathroom and she's really wanting OUT; she needs to exercise, explore, etc.

Cats with Feline Leukemia aren't sickly and usually live long lives, often longer than the average life span of a dog...think of it that way. At Olmsted Falls Cat Rescue we believe 100% that diet plays an integral role in keeping a Feline Leukemia or F.I.V. healthy by bolstering the cats' immune systems and promotes healing.

UPDATE! Elaine, the lady who rescued Nugget had her other cat vaccinated against Feline Leukemia (new vaccine) so she could keep Nugget (her first cat LOVES HIM!). Many Blessings to them!
