Information on how One of a Kind Pet Rescue is funded and how individuals can help us financially through donations.

If you have children returning to school and find yourself busy buying school clothes, shoes, and supplies, take a moment to remember your beloved pet.

We are often asked where we get the 4,400+ animals we rescue every year. Last year, we rescued 4,466 dogs and cats from the danger of euthanasia and found them forever homes. But where did they come from and how did we do this?

Did you know that June is “Adopt a Cat” month? Here are some questions to ask yourself if you are considering adopting a new feline friend.

When adopting a rescue cat or dog, sometimes things don’t always go as planned.

Warm weather is finally here and along with it comes a few unwelcome guests. Flea and tick season is upon us!

With a new year comes new beginnings, fresh starts, and resolutions. We are so proud to celebrate the achievement of saving 4,466 companion animals in 2022!

Though Covid is still very much with us, the effects of the pandemic are being felt every day in the rescue world, and the pains are severe.

One Of A Kind Pet Rescue is one of the few rescues in Ohio with a barn cat placement program. For cats that are unsocial or semi social (sometimes referred to as feral), barn owners are the perfect caretakers.

The average pet owner who brings a new furry family member into the home is not aware of the guidelines and laws surrounding pet vaccinations and their schedules. As a non-profit rescue, we have built our vaccination schedule around what is best and what is required.

Sometimes, when it seems as if there is no hope, everything miraculously falls into place and a glimmer of chance appears. This is the story of Cinder, who is still not out of the woods, but in a much better place of hope.

If you are ever behind the scenes at One of A Kind Pet Rescue, you know that what we do is non-stop. It is a constant, fast-paced environment of essential work. Each year, we rescue, heal, and adopt over 4,000 cats and dogs. To accomplish this task, we must collaborate.

Do you remember the song “What’s New Pussycat?” Though Tom Jones was referring to his love interest in this 1966 classic, we here at One of A Kind Pets are more interested in the love interests between actual kitty cats this time of year, and how their love for one another directly affects our rescue and clinic.

For those that may not know, in July of 2021 we found ourselves in desperate need of a veterinarian to treat and prescribe medications to our rescues. Though Dr. Melanie Butera already had a full-time schedule, she came forward and chose to spend the little free time she had, visiting our rescue and treating our furry friends.

After all the calculations are done, the final number of adoptions to take place at One of A Kind Pet Rescue in 2021 was 4,184. Even those of us who are in the thick of it day after day are surprised and impressed by this number. Allow us to put things into perspective a bit.
