Things are moving faster than ever at Pet Refuge — and the results are extraordinary. We aimed for a 50% increase in intakes and adoptions this year and have already surpassed that.
Year-to-date vs. 2024 totals:
Our online presence has exploded, bringing adopters from across New England and 100 new followers every three weeks.
But with this surge comes rising costs. We’ve increased staff by nearly 40% in nine months to care for the growing number of cats — including the sick ones we’re proud to take in when other shelters can’t. Food, litter, vet care, and staffing needs are climbing fast, and donations are not keeping pace.
We’re facing our most urgent fundraising need yet. Your gift — of any size — helps us keep saying “yes” to cats with nowhere else to go. Instructions for mailing a check can be found on our donation page.
The cats are counting on us. And we’re counting on you.
Do you have a lot of love to give a pair of adorable and affectionate cats? Want all expenses paid to care for them? Do you live within 20 minutes of North Kingstown? Look no further!
Meet Al and Ed. They are 2 1/2 year old bonded brothers.
They are very sweet and affectionate cats. Al needs medication twice a day for a rare heart condition. We would want someone who feels comfortable giving medication. They need to go with someone who is home quite a bit.
Please read more on Petfinder HERE to learn more about them.
Please fill out a FOSTER APPLICATION to apply.
The shelter is open by appointment only for adoptions. Please call (401) 294-1115 to schedule an appointment after you are notified of an approved adoption application.
Donations are welcome 11:00AM-3:30PM Monday – Saturday (we are closed Sunday). You may also leave donations in our bin to the right of our front door.
For anything else, please email programs@thepetrefuge.org and we will promptly handle your request and/or schedule you for an appointment.
