Meet our lifesaving partners!

At Cincinnati Animal CARE, we often say “lifesaving is a community ethic.” Collaboration is at the core of everything we do. Our alliance of community members, rescue partners, support partners, local and national mentors, and donors strengthens us.

Our community partners

Our most important Lifesaving Partner is YOU! Our community. Since Cincinnati Animal CARE took over the county shelter on August 1, 2020, the residents of Hamilton County have shown us they value animal lives and expect more from their county shelter. How has our community helped us?

In less than 3 years, you have:

  • Adopted more than 10,846 animals …and counting!
  • Fostered more than 10,226 times …and counting!
  • Volunteered more than 33,680 hours …and counting!
  • In addition, we have welcomed more than 68 million visitors to our Facebook page and more than 40,000 of you have followed our page.

Meet our Rescue Partners

Our rescue partners come to Cincinnati Animal CARE and take dogs and cats into their shelter or organization. This is a HUGE help because it allows us to clear space for all the incoming animals. We call these “rescue pulls” and we thank each and every partner that took dogs and cats from us.

Cat Rescue Partners

Cat rescue partners play a vital role in Cincinnati Animal CARE's mission to save lives. By partnering with CAC, these dedicated organizations help transport cats from the shelter to rescue groups, opening up much-needed space and ensuring more cats receive the care and attention they deserve.
