Who We Are

Spunky's Rescue Ranch is not just a rescue, but also a sanctuary for rescued and surrendered animals (primarily cats, but horses, too) who might not be adoptable.  We provide them with a home, good nutrition, necessary veterinary care, and love and attention.  Those who are able to be adopted out are found their "forever homes", but some, due to medical or behavioral issues are not adoptable, and are welcome to spend the rest of their days here.

Some of our cats are "special needs", based on a variety of issues.  For example, we sometime have blind cats and deaf cats, which require a somewhat different commitment by an adopter.  We have cats who have been abused, either physically or emotionally.  We have cats who were abandoned and need to feel love before they will trust a human being again.  

All of the horses here came in as "special need" cases.  Some are on a special diet, most have been injured prior to their arrival, in one way or another.  One was beaten and now has tremendous trust issues.

We believe in good nutrition and the cats are provided with a high-protein, no grain dry food, which is"free fed".  They are also provided with wet food twice a day, and often given raw meat, and fresh eggs from our "rescued" free-range chickens.  One of our volunteers brings chicken soup for them on a weekly basis.

We use a natural, biodegradable corn based litter in the cat boxes.  Its actually lay chicken feed, and is far preferable to any clay litter.  

We are a not-for-profit charitable organization, and 100% of all donations and adoption fees go back into the care of the cats.  We greatly appreciate any donations above and beyond the adoption fees and can provide a receipt upon request.  We cannot accept credit cards. We can accept Paypal, cash and personal checks.    

We encourage persons interested in volunteering with us to come and spend time with the animals, or, if their interests or skills are in other areas which might help the animals, such as crafts (making cat beds and toys); light carpentry (shelves and boxes for beds, re-carpeting the cat trees and condos); gardening (the cats love to help), grooming cats and horses; and other ideas (ask - we're open to new things to benefit the animals.)

We also participate in educational events for children, teens and anyone else interested in animals.
