Meridian, MS
All-volunteer 501(c)(3) operating since 2001.
Fee varies per animal and covers current vaccinations and spay/neuter.
We will post photos of your pet on our Web site and www.petfinder.com . We will send out applications, screen potential new families, verify veterinarian references, do the home visits, and, hopefully, place the pet. We require at least a 60-day commitment to the program.
Visit during opening hours to meet available cats, or contact East Mississippi Animal Rescue at (601) 553-3060 or bkochsfs@bellsouth.net first to check which cats are currently available.
Estimated by applying the AVMA's 2024 national cat-ownership rate (32.1% of households) to the county's real household count from the Census Bureau — a national rate applied locally, not a local survey. Population and housing figures are from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey.
No, animals are housed in volunteer foster homes rather than a central shelter, and visits are by appointment only.
Contact East Mississippi Animal Rescue at (601) 553-3060 or bkochsfs@bellsouth.net to ask about surrendering a cat. Intake policies change with shelter capacity, so check before bringing an animal in.
