Spilled Milk Cat Sanctuary was created when a local vet's Cat Adoption Program was discontinued and the remaining cats had no place to go, their fate was uncertain. Once we formalized our organization and absorbed the cats from that vet into our Adoption Program, then we began helping homeless Cats in our Community. For the Cats that are not adoptable due to medical or socialization issues, we have a Cat Sanctuary Program where these cats are safe, cared for and have indoor /outdoor access in a group room environment and can receive vetting when needed

Whitey's Only Wish is a 501(c)(3) Rescue. In honor of Whitey, my precious baby Chow Chow, I keep my promise to her to help puppies in need. For decades we would bring supplies, food and treats to the shelters and rescues in our area together. In 2011, Whitey was rushed to the ER where the Vet said I needed to prepare as she would not be coming home. I sat by her side in the hospital for three days, promising her if she got better we would help puppies in need. Against all odds she did recover. So in an attempt to keep my promise, in the last 5+ years, I worked with various rescues and foundations to help those animals that needed help most. I decided in August 2016 to start Whitey's Only Wish Rescue, and it was recognized as a 501(c)(3) in that same month! Whitey is now 14 years old and since her recovery has been a surrogate Mom to more than 200 puppies. Her assistant, Kodie, a 12 year old shepherd/Rottie, helps with our mission as well.

Our mission is to decrease the number of unwanted and stray animals that will never get to experience a loving home by promoting spay and neuter and adoption. We provide TNR (Trap-neuter-return) services to communities with populations of feral kitties- taking in those tame adults who have been abandoned or those kittens that haven't yet lived a life in fear of humans and finding forever homes for these kitties. We also accept cats from individuals and other rescue organizations and help place them into homes. All cats and kittens that are adopted from our rescue are spayed and neutered, and we also assist with people that are unable to afford the spay or neuter procedure.

Our Story... Our journey all started when we took a short visit to the local shelter in Marion, SC. It had recently stormed and caused flooding which made the shelter look more like a mud pit than a safe haven for homeless animals. While there we saw broken spirits and despair in the eyes of the animals. With the severe overcrowding, many dogs were in crates that were stacked on other crates. It was, at this time, we knew we need to help in any way we possible so we started fostering for the local shelter. Our first foster was Raphael. He had sat at the shelter in those cold nights in the winter and extreme heat in the summer for over a year. He watched kennelmate after kennelmate leave on their freedom rides and find loving families while he was being looked over. He was an elderly senior shepard that had bad hips and needed a place to sleep while he healed from surgery. Finally, a rescue had stepped up and decided to save his life and we opened our home and hearts to Raphael. We took him to the vet and we gave him his medicine and we gave him a nickname. He had become our RaRa. He slept at our feet and he loved to lay in the sunshine. Soon the vet gave us the news that he was too sick to get his hips fixed and was becoming too sick to continue fighting. No matter how much we loved him, his stay at the shelter had taken his toll on him. After we held RaRa in our arms for the last time and watched as he faded away, we knew in our hearts that we had to help animals like him get out of the shelter and into their second chances. It was all to often that pets would be brought in and watch as their owners left them there to become depressed and slowly fade. RaRa was our sign that we were meant to be the voice of those animals lost or abandoned. Ever since we had to let our first foster go, we have been dedicated to those animals. RaRa may have crossed the Rainbow Bridge but he left his paw prints on our hearts that made us into the rescuers we are today and we are grateful to have had him in our lives!
