C&C urges all Ohioians to get the PETS plate or one of 3 new designs recently released:
Cat Friendly, Dog Friendly or Ohio's Horses
      

*Proceeds from the sale of pet plates are donated to nonprofit organizations (like C&C) to help reduce
the cost of spay & neuter surgeries for our overwhelming and ever growing, homeless pet population.

If you see one of these plates around town, you know it's C&C!

Important Info You Should Know...
This unwanted momma kitty had 10 kittens!

We currently do not have an adoption center, nor do we have any foster homes available
to accept unwanted or stray pets at this time.  We wish we could help!

For a list of local rescues & shelters - CLICK HERE

We realize it is difficult to relinquish an animal or you may be desperate to find your pet or
that stray litter of kittens a new home (other than a kill shelter). If you found an animal, County law
may require you to turn it in to your local shelter. We don't like the conditions or prospects any more
than you do, but your shelter has the resources to verify if that animal is microchipped or has a tattoo
and if it does, the means to contact the owner. Many shelters allow you to put a hold on the animal, should no one else come forward to claim him/her.

No-kill shelters are almost always filled to capacity but if you are willing to be a foster parent, they may
be able to help with vet services, supplies and weekend adoptions. Contact them directly but please
be patient: these selfless folks are simply overwhelmed with pleas for assistance.
Should you find placement with a rescue, please verify they are licensed and in good standing.
Also, not every rescue is a 501(c)3 tax deductible organization.

Most importantly, ALWAYS ask questions about their adoption policy and who will care for the pet
and whether it will be caged or fostered in a home. If possible, visit the facility.

If you find a stray, many vets or rescues would be happy to scan the animal for you, free of charge.
Catnip & Carrots has a Universal scanner & is happy to provide this service.

Is your Microchip Information Up-to-Date??

What good is an RF chip to your pet if no one can contact you????????

Click HERE for more information and contact numbers.

Help us purchase a microchip scanner for the Monroe Police Dept!

A HomeAgain WorldScan scanner is universal and will read all microchips sold in the US: encrypted (FDX-A) and
nonencrypted (FDX-B) and at all frequencies including Avid, 24PetWatch, Trovan 128kHz, 125kHz, 134.2kHz.

This valuable tool can help Monroe officers identify your pet and get it back to you quickly and safely
when your animal is equipped with a microchip. But don't forget that collar & tag!!

Any amount is appreciated and tax deductible, as allowed by law!

Chie Yoshimura demonstrate the respiratory masks on Lilijean (cat) and Stitch (dog)
Monroe, Ohio - 2007

We desperately need your donations!
The threat of wildfires & house fires is never ending!

In California, Orange County Fire & EMS units are not 100% equipped.
        
In Ohio, the Middletown & Liberty Township Fire Departments
have NO mask sets at all - we need to help equip our neighbors!!

These masks are specially designed for all pets and
are essential tools to help firefighters save an animal in distress!

Because of YOUR generosity, C&C has donated 35 mask sets!
But more are desperately needed!

All donations are tax deductible, as allowed by law,
and we will provide you with a tax receipt.
