Wood County Humane Society accepts friendly stray cats when space allows in the shelter. We encourage anyone caring for strays or community cats to seek spay/neuter services. 

 

 

 

​

Please know that we do not have full time veterinary staff and are not equipped to handle veterinary emergencies. 

If you have a kitten or litter of kittens that are still dependent upon their mother, don’t panic! Put them back where you found them, and keep an eye on them for the next hour or two. Mother cats often leave their litters to go in search of food. Depending upon the age of the kittens, mothers can be gone for an hour or two on and off throughout the day, and longer as the kittens become more mobile. Kittens stand their best chance in life being raised by their mothers. If the mother doesn’t come back in that time frame, or the litter appears extremely ill, please contact us by phone to set up an appointment for us to assess the kitten's needs.

If you have a wildlife concern, please contact Nature’s Nursery or The Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
