Causes: Animals
Mission: Mission Statement To provide homeless cats and kittens, and special needs/injured/ill/owner surrender/stray/dumped/shelter cats in Virginia; rescue, vaccination, disease testing, spay/neuter, any medical care, treatment, surgeries and rehabilitation through quarantine, sanctuary and adoption services. I pull every cat that is not adopted, reclaimed or rescued from the Wytheville Cat Shelter and after their health care is finished, adopt them out or provide permanent care for them at the sanctuary, if adoption is not an option due to special needs. Misfit Critter Farm & Sanctuary also provides assistance to the community by providing low cost spay/neuter, vaccinations, combo testing, rehabilitation, food, medicine, removal, trapping, transport, colony sterilization/vaccination and emergency medical services. Despite any diseases or illnesses, no cat is euthanizes unless all possible treatments have been extinguished, the cat's quality of life will remain poor and suffering is permanent. I also assist with neglect and abuse cases regarding any type of animal. The focus is on cats and farm animals/horses since this area is flooded with dog rescue groups and the kill rate at the nearby shelters for cats is near 100%. Also, we educate the community about disease/virus prevention, spay/neuter importance and animal care/health with our large online following and through brochures, flyers and posters. Adoption, meet & meow, and educational events take place as time/volunteering allows. We hope to bring light to many issues involving animals in this area and create a better educated, safer, distemper free, population controlled, actively proactive and compassionate community.
Results: Accomplishments & Projects Currently, we are offering low cost annual vaccines in order to eradicate the serious distemper problem that has mutated from being species specific and is now affecting and killing cats, dogs, raccoons, fox, mink, and ferrets. Also, after years of insisting on an honest shelter system and teamwork, it is now required that the Wytheville Cat Shelter allows every cat that comes in to be photographed, posted online for people to see and share so that the cat has a chance at being reclaimed, adopted or rescued. If the cat is still there when their time is up, regardless of age, health, social ability, they are picked up by Misfit Critter Farm and given a second chance at life after being tested, vaccinated and spayed/neutered.
Target demographics: The cats of Southwestern Virginia and other animals in need
Direct beneficiaries per year: Hundreds of cats in homes, ferals, strays, abandoned, neglected, abused and otherwise forgotten. We specialize in taking in and fixing up animals that are at death's door and give them our best shot at survival. We have taken in many cats who became homeless due to their owner passing away or because of the caretaker's health issues. Vet care, surgeries, medications and any needs are met and the cats are given a permanent home here or adopted out, depending upon the situation.
Geographic areas served: Emergency feline rescue, special needs sanctuary, preventive care, hospice, living will rescue, hope for cats that would otherwise face certain death or suffering, cage-free sanctuary and rescue, top rated quarantine of ill, unvaccinated or newly brought in cats.
Programs: Adoption, emergency medical care, crisis control, colony maintenance, spay/neuter, low cost vaccines for anyone, supportive care for panleukopenia/distemper cats with an excellent survival rate, long term sanctuary and medical care for cats that are not adoptable due to a long term medical condition, hospice for elderly, cancer, diseased and dying cats, intensive 24/7 care for cats and kittens in crisis at any age, 24/7 council and emergency contact, transportation, trapping, removal of cats, providing food for cats being cared for by the community at no cost, providing vet clinic with low cost vaccines, taking in any Wytheville Cat Shelter cat that has not been reclaimed, adopted or rescued, speaking with community leaders about current laws and future amendments, providing financial assistance for cats in need of surgery or other medical needs when payment cannot be met, never turning away a cat for any disability, illness, disease or issue, remaining a cage-free sanctuary and rescue, not euthanizing unless all other options and treatments have been extinguished, there is no hope for a quality life and the animal is suffering, providing education to the community and general public through printouts, booklets and an active global Facebook page and many volunteer opportunities and sanctuary tours upon request.
