The mission of Guardian Angels Cat Club (now doing business as Guardian Angels Cat Rescue & Adoption Shelter) has consistently been to provide shelter and assistance to stray, abandoned, injured and abused and otherwise homeless tame cats and kittens in the City of Hot Springs and Garland County, Arkansas and its purpose to adopt its cats into loving, forever homes.
Over the years, this mission has expanded to "Help Those That Cannot Help Themselves!"
Essentially recognizing that not every person who comes to the Shelter for help, necessarily wants to surrender their cat(s) this has allowed GACR to develop programs allowing assistance to not just cats, but their people also. GACR will do everything in its power to keep a cat in its home - as funds allow, the Shelter can offer medical assistance to sick or injured cats, provide low cost or no cost spay and neuter vouchers or simply counsel people facing a crisis with their cat(s).
Allowing a pet to stay in its home ultimately relieves the Shelter of the financial and caretaking burden placed upon the facility and its volunteers and alleviates the owner's anxiety about having to surrender their cat(s).
However, none of this is possible without the help of the community and the donations we receive. |
