KARMA CAT & ZEN DOG RESCUE SOCIETY

Mission

We envision a world where every companion animal is respected, fed, warm, happy, and not in danger of being killed because it is temporarily homeless. Karma Cat + Zen Dog Rescue Society's mission is to provide a safe and peaceful haven for homeless, abandoned or abused animals. We will help decrease the number of cats and dogs being destroyed in kill shelters through the work of our adoption, trap-neuter-return, and education programs. Karma Cat + Zen Dog vows to treat all persons with respect and consideration – regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, maternity, marital or family status, disability, age or national origin.

Cat Adoptions

The Karma Cat + Zen Dog Rescue Society rescues cats from unfortunate circumstances. We provide veterinary care, food and comfort while the cats adjust. When they are ready, they are made available for adoption.

Population(s) Served
Adults

Trap-neuter-return (TNR) of community (feral) cats is the only humane way to manage the outdoor/unsocialized cat population. Feral colony management is critical to creating a no-kill community.
