Our Story
West Side Cats first opened its doors in 2008. We are a non-profit, no-kill rescue and adoption facility in Youngstown, Ohio, founded by individuals who didn't want to volunteer for kill shelters any longer. We outgrew our first location, moved to a larger facility in 2010, and most recently transitioned into our current location in 2018. With the exception of those being cared for in our clinic, all kitties await adoption in colorful, open rooms with plenty of beds and toys. Our shelter has several climbing trees, including a huge wooden tree custom made for us. Although we primarily serve Mahoning and Trumbull Counties, people have come from other states to adopt our kitties. Every year we place between 300–600 cats and kittens up for adoption.
Children age 10 or under are not permitted in our cat rooms. Some of our kitties are shy and/or not comfortable with young children. We do not want them to be stressed. We are sorry for the inconvenience. We are willing, however, to try scheduling a mutual time if there is a particular kitty an adult family member would like to bring a younger child(ren) in to meet.
We are always looking for reliable, mature people that LOVE cats. If you are.looking to help out an all volunteer shelter, we would love to meet you. Please stop in and meet the kitties and our great volunteets. A volunteer application can be completed and a copy of a picture ID to attach to it as needed For more info, visit the rest of our web site information.
