I adopted the sweetest kitten from WCR. They truly care about the cats and kittens in their care. I would recommend this group to anyone looking for a new member of their family.
WCR not only rescued my sweet Rocky, but he had been found by the road after a fight. His leg was amputated, and his life was saved! Best cat ever! So grateful!
I am one of many web-based volunteers, helping to spread the word about WCR. These people really care about cats & work tirelessly to save as many as they can from killing pounds, placing them in foster care for adoption or transporting to no-kill shelters or cat sanctuaries. The Winging Cat Rescuers know first-hand about the feline population explosion. They have implemented a low-cost Spay/Neuter Program for area residents of Spalding County Georgia as well as 50% off S/N vouchers to those who adopt directly from Spalding A.C. They have also established a medical fund to provide initial vax to the cats & kittens while they are still in Spalding Animal Control. .This not only benefits the Cats themselves, but also Spalding County Residents who can be more confident about the health of the cat they are adopting. They are a network of internet based volunteers located nationwide who has focused (but not exclusive to) an Animal Control Pound in Griffin, Georgia. This pound did use the inhumane Gas Chambers as their method of "euthanasia". But as of July 2009 they have switched to lethal injection for all animals are put down, largely due to the efforts of WCR.
