The Scratching Post
The Scratching post is a non-profit, no kill shelter for stray and abandoned cats. Located in Silverton, Ohio (a Cincinnati suburb), the shelter has been in operation since May of 1990. We are able to find homes for about 250 cats per year. We can house about 130 at a time and are usually at full capacity. A cat can only be accepted if we have the space, which since we are a no-kill shelter, means only if we've had an adoption. There are thousands each year we have to turn away. The only way to reduce this number is by spaying & neutering every cat possible until there are homes for them all.
