OCAS occasionally uses euthanasia, but do not write off this shelter on that basis. They are a highly ethical shelter who can't refuse to take dying animals who are suffering like no-kill shelters can. The shelter is extremely well managed and transparent about use of euthanasia. The annual reports are publicly available and thorough. The staff have given significant attention to creating programs that reduce the use of euthanasia as much as possible. They started a foster program for young kittens and for skittish cats who need to some attention and socialization before being adopted. They also have a barn cat program for non-adoptable feral cats. The programs provide the best quality of life possible for all animals. The staff clearly care about the animals and do not euthanize unless there is a medical/behavioral issue that puts other animals at risk or is causing suffering that can't be alleviated.
Yes it IS a kill shelter but they try very hard to place pets and trade out animals to give them more time. Its a country run shelter and immaculate
They are not a no kill shelter from my understanding.
I don't think so... but not sure
