The mission of Kat’s Alley Cats is to humanely and effectively reduce the overpopulation of community cats via Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR). Community cats, otherwise known as feral, homeless, unowned, free-roaming, or alley cats, are those who are simply not adoptable by nature, through no fault of their own, yet their lives are no less valuable than those of our other furry friends. Kat’s Alley Cats is dedicated to improving the lives of both humans and kitties in our local communities by sterilizing, spaying/neutering, and vaccinating community cats via TNR.Trap-Neuter-Return is the only humane, effective, and permanent solution for stabilizing and ultimately reducing the homeless cat population, while also putting a stop to the endless breeding and reproduction cycle.

NABA is dedicated to the conservation of wild butterflies and their habitats. Butterflies are wildlife, and should be valued and protected as such. As pollinators they are critical to our shared environment, and as indicator species they give us early warning of environmental peril. Butterflies are a key link in the food chain. Butterflies are also wondrous and magical in a way that singularly captures our imaginations and connects people with nature and each other. NABA envisions a future where wild butterflies thrive in healthy habitats, none are threatened or endangered, and all people can enjoy observing them in nature.

Puppy Pleasers Rescue is a private non-profit no-kill 501c3 licensed rescue developed to find loving homes for dogs and puppies who are in shelters, abandoned, or are unable to be cared for (owner-surrendered). Most of our rescues are puppies. This is our main focus since this will help the development of our little friends while they are young and just beginning. However, we do also take in adults and large breeds. We are not breed-specific and believe all breeds are deserving of love and care. Puppy Pleasers Rescue also works with and supports the prevention of over-population by "performing" and requiring the spay and neutering of animals as well as the spread of canine diseases by adhering requirements set by law and encouraging the upkeep by adopters. All rescues go to their new homes under a fair and simple contract that is expected to be thoroughly read and followed.

Cats are prolific breeders averaging two litters a year and 5 kittens per litter. A mass spay/neutering program is the most efficient and cost-effective way of combating this rate of population growth. SCAT uses TNFA (Trap-Neuter-Foster-Adopt), especially for feral (wild) kittens who are brought into foster homes for socialization and adoption. Cats found to be social are advertised in case they have been separated from their families. SCAT also promotes the use of TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) when it is in the best interests of the feral (wild) cat to return him/her to their natural environment and where there is proper care provided - shelter, food, water and a caregiver to monitor health and well being. This is primarily around industrial/business areas where they are valued for their rodent control.
