Our group consist solely of volunteers who share the passion for helping homeless cats: Find loving homes for homeless cats. Provide compassionate care to"supposedly unadoptable" cats. Assist feral colonies and support to their caretakers with food, shelter and medical needs. We accomplish our mission through foster and adoption of socialized cats using a comfortable, cage-free environment for unadopted cats, including ferals and those unlikely to find permanent homes. As feline advocates, we collaborate with local animal welfare groups that support: Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) projects that sterilize “community cats” (free-roaming strays) to assist with nutritional, medical, and shelter needs. Re-homing owned cats through PetFinder and Facebook. Public education on anti-cruelty, the importance of spay/neuter, and care for homeless cats through foster and adoption.
To adopt, please complete an adoption application and schedule an appointment.

Jim and Karen Owens moved to Waynesville NC in 2005 and fell in love with all it had to offer. They soon learned that Haywood County loved horses, too. In 2005, Jim & Karen Owens opened up their farm for horses and goats to have a place to be until they can be adopted. There just wasn’t room for those in need at the animal shelter!
