Our Story
The silence in the small shelter office was thick, weighted by the sheer magnitude of the work accomplished and the cruelty that made it necessary. October 31, 2025 marked a staggering milestone: 2396 lives saved through rescue made possible by our wonderful supporters. In that same timeframe, 2014 animals found new loving homes, and 1539 cats were helped in the community as we provide food, litter, medicine and veterinary care to those in need as the budget allows so that they can keep their beloved pets. We often are the ONLY and LAST HOPE for cats who are declined by other organizations and even public shelters. Contrary to popular belief, public shelters do turn down healthy animals, stating they are full. We focus on pulling cats and kittens who are OUT OF TIME at public shelters who are forced to euthanize when they run out of space. We have pulled numerous cats from public shelters with dental issues that would be put down if we didn't help them. We focus on helping those first who are in immediate danger. We focus on those who are refused by all other area organizations, making Beare Garden the last chance for them to continue to live and breathe. All they want is to be healthy and loved. The cruelty, neglect and abuse we see at times is heartbreaking.
