Mission of Catoosa Citizens for Animal Care (CCAC), Inc.:

Our purpose is to promote the humane treatment of animals through responsible pet ownership.

Goals/Strategic Focus Areas:

1. Reduce the animal overpopulation through our spay/neuter program. For residents of Catoosa County who are in financial need, we pay a portion of the cost of a spay/neuter at Wally’s Friends and Dixie Day Spay —both  low cost spay/neuter clinics.  We also work with the local vets to pay $60 toward the surgery costs for pets whose owners otherwise might not be able to afford it.

2. Educate the community about humane treatment of animals. We offer an educational program in the county schools and supply copies of KIND News in the classrooms.  We maintain a 24-hour Help Line (706-937-2287) and our website providing information, resources, and referrals to callers who have a wide variety of questions and needs regarding animal care.

3.  We help connect animals in need of homes with loving families.  Also, we have a small foster and adoption program in place.   We strive to keep animals in their homes through various resources.  In emergency situations we help with medical care for those in financial need.  We do not provide assistance for anything that is not medically necessary or that we consider inhumane. 

History:

This group was created initially in the early 90’s to improve animal care awareness in Catoosa County. The first goal was to build a new, more humane animal shelter. In a collaborative effort with concerned individuals, groups, and the county, the shelter was built. CCAC continues to work in many ways as an advocate of animal welfare.
