Catz and Dogz of the North State

CATZ and DOGZ of the North State Inc is a small but mighty 501(c)3 cat and dog rescue organization. Our mission is simple and yet profound. We take in abandoned and abused animals, provide them with unconditional love and excellent medical attention, and then match them with the forever homes they truly deserve.

We open our hearts and home to these innocent souls who have known nothing but hardship and despair. Their stories are as varied as the colors of the rainbow, but they all share one thing in common: the need for a second chance at life.

Each little face that walks through our doors carries a story of neglect, abandonment, or abuse. Some have been discarded like yesterday's news, left to fend for themselves in this harsh world. Others bear the physical and emotional scars of cruelty inflicted upon them by the very people who were supposed to care for them. No matter their past, we believe in giving them the opportunity for a brighter future.

When these precious creatures first arrive at our doorstep, they often arrive broken, both in body and spirit. But we refuse to let their past define their future. We go to work mending their wounds, both seen and unseen, with the help of veterinarians, supplies provided by our faithful donors, and an abundance of unconditional love.

Our home becomes a sanctuary for them, a place where they can rediscover trust and learn that love is not synonymous with pain. With patience and gentle care, we begin to see a spark of hope in their eyes. It is truly miraculous to watch as these remarkable beings transform!

But our mission doesn't stop there. Our ultimate goal is to find these animals their forever homes, where they can flourish and thrive in an environment filled with security and love. It is a bittersweet moment when we bid farewell to each of them, but it's a moment filled with joy, knowing that they are embarking on a new chapter of their lives, one filled with the love and happiness they truly deserve.

The bonds we form with these animals are unbreakable, and the tears we shed when they leave are tears of happiness and hope. It is a testament to the power of love, compassion, and the belief that every life is worth saving.

Please consider us as an organization to support. Together, we can continue to make a difference in the lives of these abandoned and abused animals, giving them the love and care they need to heal, and ultimately, helping them find their forever homes. We are changing lives, one paw at a time.

Testimonials:

We got our little dog Ginger from Karen. She had a few dogs from a hoarding situation. She is very through when checking references. She was very easy to work with and you can tell she loves all animals. We love Ginger! -Traci M.

Karen is a truly amazing and compassionate person. She goes above and beyond for the animals in her care. I contacted her looking for a very special cat to be an emotional support animal for my family, specifically my 10 year old daughter. Karen knew exactly which kitty in her rescue was perfect for us! Blizzard is such a wonderful cat, with the most nurturing and loving soul. Thank you so much Karen and Catz and Dogz of the North State for allowing us to make Blizzard part of our family. - Jaqi B.

Karen is such a sweet person. I can’t thank her enough for helping our family rehome our little guy. It was a really hard and sad situation, but Karen reassure us that she would find him the perfect home. She is great and made the whole transition very easy. Thank you! - Mey V.

Karen was so helpful and easy to communicate with. She helped my family find two amazing barn kitties for our property. They are the sweetest little babies and I think they’re going to end up being more indoor than outdoor fur babies for us! I can’t say enough about how hard this group works day in and day out to give these poor cats and kittens a shot at a better life. They truly are amazing and I would never think about getting another cat from anywhere else. - Emily K.

I like that they thoroughly vet and select future homes that align with the cats needs. The work you do is appreciated. Thank you for guiding us through the process and we are happy to have a new addition to our family. - Alicia C.
