The Lazarus Fund
Meet Brutis. A very lovable and shy guy who was brought in when his former owner stopped feeding and taking care of him. He was losing his hair due to all the fleas he had and was afraid of his own shadow. Brutis has come a long way in a very short time. He is still very timid at first but once he realizes you mean him no harm he wants to come over and sit on your lap!
Skittles is a sweet, sweet girl.. Once settled into her new living quarters, she settled in for a nap with her front paws crossed, as you can see in her second photo. She is doing quite well considering that these photos were taken within her first hour in a shelter, after being relinquished by her former owners as "a stray" that was living on the property as a young kitten, with her mom and sister, when the owners moved into it last June. After the arrival of Skittle's mom's "Litter Number Three" , numerous cats now had to move out, as the expense of food and litter for five adult cats was straining the budget of this family.
Skittles adoption fee is $35

Help put an end to pet overpopulation and encourage your friends, family, neighbors, etc. who own unaltered pets, to please Spay and Neuter. We offer a wonderful Spay A Stray program for cats and can provide information on affordable spay and neuter for owner's pets also (cats and dogs.) Please contact us for more information.
All of our adoptable cats have been tested for Feline AIDS and Feline Leukemia with negative results, dewormed and de-fleaed. All cats will be spayed or neutered and microchipped prior to adoption. They are also vaccinated against Rabies, if they were old enough at the time of spay/neuter to receive that vaccination. All cats will be adopted with their initial three-way vaccination, which includes Distemper. Booster vaccinations are included in the adoption package, if the cat has been in our care long enough to receive this vaccination. Otherwise, booster shots will be the responsibility of the new owner.
Dogs will be spay/neuter, microchip,dewormed,de-fleaed, initial standard vaccinations, and Rabies vaccination. Booster vaccinations are included in the adoption package, if the cat has been in our care long enough to receive this vaccination. Otherwise, booster shots will be the responsibility of the new owner. Adult dogs will be heartworm tested and be on preventitive.
With all of their basic health care addressed, these animals now need a responsible, loving guardian, willing to make a lifetime commitment to their new pet. We have many cats, and dogs who have been waiting patiently for that special someone to take them home.
An adoption fee is collected in an effort to recoup the medical costs of providing these basic requirements to each pet, and to ensure a good home. The adoption fees are as follows:
