Very kind and caring staff. They are very thorough. I highly recommend Sheltering Hands for the spaying/neutering of your cat!

Amazing place and staff. Very caring, professional and great prices for neutering and spaying! It's quite the distance for me but so worth the drive...Thank you Sheltering Hands!😺🐾

Brought my kitten to be spayed and found out at pick up that she was 3 weeks pregnant and they aborted them!!!! No call no nothing just took in their hands to kill 3 baby kittens!! I am livid and devastated… I guess it stated in fine print that if cats are pregnant they kill them!!! If I could I would sue because regardless they should of called me!! Is was not a wild cat she was my cat a house cat!!!! My heart is broken!! No more sheltering hands for me!!

Said they were open online and when you go to the door it said to knock, but nobody came to the door. I called over and over but there's no way to talk to anyone... just a unending string of press this and press that. There was people walking around but nobody said anything...I had to ask someone and they said nobody was there. Very unprofessional and I drove like 10 miles to get there for nothing. At these gas prices I can't afford to waste the time or money. Not pleased and won't return and wouldn't recommend.

Questions & Answers

I'm looking but can't find the hours of operation. I can't get anyone on the phone. Can anyone help?

I know they do the spring and neutering every Wednesday and Friday and they do it on 2 Mondays per month. If you need more info call and leave a message they will call you back, it may take a day or so cause I don't think they are open everyday! They are really nice and very reasonable priced! Here is their website but also know they only deal with cats! Hope this helps! https://shelteringhands.rescuegroups.org/

No Sheltering Hands does only spay and neuter. I would check with Humane Society, not Animal Control on Baseline! Bruce Fishelow is director and is really kind. Speak to him directly and he may have some ideas. Most likely if you talk to someone else it will get you nowhere. Good luck

If I live in Ocala, is there a drop box for catfood donations? Also, there is a feral colony at the Circle K in Lynne just off State Rd 40 that needs help.

You can leave food on weekends at Petsmart in Ocala at the adoption center

If I see a feral cat colony can I report it so that Sheltering hands might look into it?

Yvonne Bashlin | Sep 5, 2021

Yes that is correct for neutered and flea treatment. All other shots may be more. It's get the kitten what it needs right now.

Can you come leave trap to catch stray cat please. 8880 sw 27th av,lot A73.

Sheltering Hands | Sep 5, 2020

Hi. Unfortunately we do not have trap teams available to do that. We suggest contacting either Marion County Animal Services or Vocal for Pets. We do have traps available to borrow if you make an appointment to have the cat spayed/neutered with us.

I have no life to myself and cannot leave for a weekend because of the commitment. can somebody please help me find a home or give me suggestion to where I can put them up for adoption

Sheltering Hands | Sep 5, 2020

Hi Tom, we received your question. In order to help can you tell us how many cats you are looking of rehome? Are they friendly or feral?

What are your hours? I have a truck full of donations for you. Thanks

Paige Falcone | Sep 5, 2020
Sheltering Hands | Sep 5, 2020

Hi Paige, The best days and times for donation drop offs are Monday 9-12, Tuesday except 10/15 from 10-2, Wednesday from 11-3, Friday 11-3. Our address is 10397 N Hwy 27 Ocala FL 34482

what do I have to do for my kitten after she has been chipped and spayed.

Rosanne Himpele | Sep 5, 2020
Heather Croft | Sep 5, 2020

Was she spayed today? If so no food or water until after 8 pm today. Then just a bit. Keep her in the carrier until tomorrow morning. Then you can let her out in say a quiet small bathroom. After another day or two you can let her back out to her normal routine. They should have told you this wherever you had her spayed.

Is sheltering hands open on Sunday

Terry Horner | Sep 6, 2019

I have 3 female kittens ( about 4-5 weeks, don't know for sure) and their mom too. I've tried to take the kittens to different shelters but they are all full, so the only option that I have is to spay and neuter them. Do you spay and neuter kittens?

Traveling in Faith | Sep 6, 2019
Annie Chilton | Sep 6, 2019

Yes they do we had the mom done first and then two kittens they have to be about 12 weeks old. Great organization!

I had a family move out of my house and left 5 cats .Will you take them ?

Joseph Cushing | Sep 6, 2019
Ashley Hickey | Sep 6, 2019

I am not with sheltering hands but I have used them to get my cats fixed before. Last I heard a couple weeks ago they are unable to take anymore cats in. But they can fix them for $35 per cat.

My wife and I have two dogs one is going to be 15 yrs. Old this month and one is 10 yrs. Old. We love both but are no longer able to care for them. We would love to see them go to a good home and not be forced to put them to sleep.

Monika Turner | Sep 6, 2019

Why on gods green earth would you dump you senior dogs? Please take them to your vet and kindly have them put to sleep. I just can not understand why you would dump them at this age. The HS is an over growded hell hole.

I have 3 cats with worms. I've tried the homeopathic wormer ...it does not kill the worms. it just expells them and i am finding them everywhere...alive! How much would it cost to take my cats there and give them a shot to kill them?

Debra Albertson | Sep 6, 2019
Kathleen Flynn Dragomir | Sep 6, 2019

Sheltering Hands does not do this. They only spay Nd neuter. Make sure you use a good flea control. Not hartz or supermarket brands. Ask a local vet for Drontal it will cover all types of worms.

Do y'all also spay and neuter puppies?

Lorah Smith | Sep 6, 2018
Lady Bellissimo | Sep 6, 2018

Sheltering Hands at this time is a cats only organization. There are organizations locally that can help.

Are you open today or what are the hours of operation ?

Luis Pizarro | Sep 6, 2017
Lady Bellissimo | Sep 6, 2017

Sheltering Hands has limited hours of operation as they are mostly a surgical and adoption center. You may contact them my phone or on their website for additional information. Please remember to spay and neuter.
