Community Pet Center

About the program: There are relatively few foster homes or rescue groups willing to take large numbers of cats or kittens. Although our success at improving their survival rate has been very modest, we have been successful in lowering the destruction rate very slightly (1% - 5%). In addition to Animal Control adoptions for cats, volunteers have re-homed approximately 50 animals through this program. On a selective basis, from Animal Control or the public, we receive cats or kittens or mothers with litters. The animals are vetted and sterilized and private owners or caretakers are often asked to keep them until homes came be found. Animals are photographed and posted on Petfinder.com and the CPC website as well as featured in The Rutherford Weekly. Routine adoption events are held for cats throughout the Spring – Fall, and last year a total of 7 cat and kitten adoption events were held at Tractor Supply Company.
