Furkids Pet Adoption & Community Resource Center

Furkids, headquartered in Atlanta, GA, is a 501c3 nonprofit charitable organization that operates the largest cage-free, no-kill shelter in the Southeast for rescued cats and Sadie’s Place, a no-kill shelter for dogs. Furkids also operates one of the only facilities in the Southeast dedicated to the care of FIV positive cats. The Furkids mission is to rescue homeless animals, provide them with the best medical care and nurturing environment while working to find them a forever home. Furkids heals the whole animal, physically and emotionally, restoring its health and its spirit. 

Furkids has rescued and altered more than 40,000 animals since its founding in 2002. Approximately 900 cats and dogs are in the Furkids program today, in three shelters/adoption centers, 7 PetSmart and Petco adoption centers,  and more than 400 foster homes in the Atlanta area. Furkids also offers four Thrift Stores in the metro area. 

Furkids is the only animal rescue organization in metro Atlanta that allows children of all ages to volunteer. Furkids volunteer programs are designed to restore the health and spirits of injured and homeless animals while providing healing opportunities for volunteers who are strengthened by the bond of love and care between humans and animals.
