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. It is 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.
