Pet Promise

Unfortunately, there are way too many strays and neglected animals in Columbus– but lucky for them, there are organizations such as Pet Promise to help in good, little ways with this big, ugly situation.
Pet Promise is part of a national non-​profit organization that has been around since 1996 and run by volunteers. This no-​kill animal welfare organization does not support euthanasia, especially as a method of population control.
Like so many rescue organizations, Pet Promise does not have a physical shelter. Money is being raised secure a no-​kill sanctuary where rescues will be sheltered until they are found homes. Until then, but rescues are cared for in generous foster homes until they are permanently adopted.
Some of the services they provide are to rescue stray animals from the streets and from animal shelters where they will be euthanized; they provide medical care to neglected, abused and injured animals; and they rehabilitate hard-​to-​adopt animals due to age, medical condition, or breed.
I take personal interest in cats and really appreciate the efforts Pet Promise makes to provide spay and neuter services for feral cats. If you have or know of regular strays in your area, Pet Promise will provide the traps, if you are willing to catch them and take them to a designated vet. Pet promise picks up the tab for the spay or neuter. All you have to do is trap them and re-​release them in the same place after the surgery. This helps to drastically reduce the number of unwanted animals in our community — and every cat counts!
Pet Promise also provides financially strapped pet owners with food, medical care, and other assistance, so struggling people do not have to give up their four legged family members.
I’ve done volunteer work for Pet promise, and will vouch that they are good group of people who care tremendously for the well-​being of Columbus’s furry friends.
