I looked at all the caged animals in the shelter, the
cast-offs of human society.
I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness and
betrayal. And I was angry.
"God." I said. "This is terrible! Why don't you
do something?"
God was silent for a moment and then He spoke softly. "I
have done something." He replied. "I created you."

The CAT PROTECTION SOCIETY is a no-kill shelter that provides a safe place for
abandoned, homeless and stray cats in Lake County and the surrounding Central Florida
area. We provide this safe haven for these innocent and sweet cat victims until we
can find them the purrfect forever home through our adoption services. No cat is
ever euthanized due to lack of space or it being unadoptable.
CPS has also set up the Sheba
Fund. Using donations, CPS has been able to "adopt" cats and kittens from
the Lake County Animal Services that would otherwise be euthanized. We currently
provide a home for approximately 400 or more cats. We accept cats as space is
available. Regrettably, we cannot take personal pets since they do not mix
well with our existing adult population.
We adopt cats to permanent homes only, and all our cats
are spayed or neutered to prevent continued overpopulation. Young kittens leave with
a certificate so this procedure can be done safely when they are old enough.
Cats at the shelter are routinely vaccinated, wormed and
treated for fleas; and those more than three months old are tested for feline leukemia and feline AIDS. They all are handled lovingly and given
help with special needs. We place about 600 cats and kittens in new homes every year. We
know we have one or two who would add joy to your home. Come visit us!
Ahhhh. Please don't stop! Seriously, does it get any better than
this?! Can you come back tomorrow too?
