Leah Beatty • May 19, 2024

Are you a passionate cat lover looking to make a difference in the lives of feline friends in need? Look no further than a heartwarming 501c3 nonprofit cat rescue based in Austintown, Ohio - a true haven for cats called Furrever & After Cat Sanctuary.



Our Mission


At Furrever & After Cat Sanctuary, our mission is to rescue and save our feline friends in the community by addressing the urgent issue of cat overpopulation. Through our sanctuary, we strive to provide a safe haven for cats while also enlightening the hearts and minds of our community about responsible pet ownership and the importance of spaying and neutering.


The Overpopulation Crisis


Cat overpopulation is a significant problem, leading to overcrowded shelters and countless stray cats on the streets. Many of these cats suffer from hunger, disease, and exposure to harsh environments. By rescuing these cats, Furrever & After aims to reduce the number of strays and improve the quality of life for these animals.


Our Approach


  1. Rescue and Rehabiliation: We take in cats from various circumstances, whether they are strays, abandoned, or from overcrowded shelters. Each cat receives veterinary care, rehabilitation, and a safe place to recover.

  2. Adoption Services: Finding loving homes for our cats is top priority. We carefully screen potential adopters to ensure that our cats go to responsible and caring homes.

  3. Education and Outreach: Educating the community about the importance of spaying and neutering is crucial in tackling overpopulation. We conduct workshops, school programs, and community events to spread awareness about responsible pet ownership.


Community Engagement


We believe that addressing cat overpopulation requires a collective effort. Furrever & After actively engages with the community through various programs:


  • Volunteer Opportunities: We offer opportunities for community members to volunteer at our sanctuary, helping with daily care and socialization of the cats.

  • Partnerships with Local Businesses: Collaborations with local businesses and veterinarians help us provide the best care for our cats and expand our outreach efforts. We are also an active member of a local regional chamber which allows to meet different business owners on a monthly basis.

  • Fundraising Events: Our events not only raise essential funds but also bring the community together in support of our mission
