Second Chance Sheridan Cat Rescue

I have never seen a more compassionate, understanding, and loving shelter. There is so much dedication from the director and all the wonderful volunteers. The first moment I walked in, it was obvious how different this shelter was. The cats are treated with such care and respect. I am in awe everytime I go in. This special place has given me hope that people really do care!

Well, back during the 4th of July weekend of 2015, my cat of 17 years, Buddy de Cat passed away due to massive kidney failure. So for the following month I grieved his loss, but it felt so empty at home, as I’m a single retired/disable USAF veteran, so having a animal companion is so important. I heard of 2nd Chance, and also the local shelter. So I checked out their websites, and I settled on 2 cats at 2nd Chance. I filled out their extensive application online, and I think they should have extensive applications, got a response back, and went to their place to check out the 2 cats. I was only going to take 1, but the 2 I decided on had been at the rescue the longest, and I had no problem with rescuing an older cat. Well I got there, and Elaine greeted me, and said Thor was not there, he was at her home, as she had so many cats, so special ones, like Thor she kept at home, and besides, he was shy. And she was telling everyone, “Here’s the man interested in adopting Thor”. You see, Thor, because of his shyness, had been there the longest, almost 2 1/2 years. Elaine said my application passed, and because I was a Veteran, my fee was waivered, which was wonderful. She brought Thor over to my apartment that night, and he was shy, but he eventually came around, and he’s the Bestest Cat in The World and even Famous on Instagram & Facebook. Oh, one last thing or 2— 2nd Chance gives you 2 weeks to see if you and the cat bond, or are the right fit, and 2ndly, Elaine and the crew were very nice and professional, and continue to be, as I see them on occasion, and have attended their fund-raisers, like, “Pints-4-PussyCats” & “Pizza-4-PussyCat”. I highly recommend 2nd Chance Cat Rescue for anyone seriously looking for a cat, be it a kitten, middle-aged or senior cat, or one that might have a little disability, and might need a little more loving. Elaine, Rachel and the Staff are #1!

I believe The 2 women managing Second Chance and their wonderful volunteers would live in the streets before they allowed any stray cat or kitten to go unrescued!

I adopted all 4 of my kitties from Second Chance Sheridan Cat Resuce. They are all volunteer, non profit, and a no kill cat shelter. The kitties are in a big facility instead of in tiny cages. The owners truly care and love these animals. If I could adopt more babies I totally would! They are hands down the best and I am a life long fan!

These volunteers are the most caring people I know. They get up at all hours to care for rescued animals. I found an older cat in a side ditch on one of the coldest days we have here in Wyoming. After driving on 35 miles of solid ice, they met me at the shelter and provided the poor thing with everything she needed. She was very sick and old and she had the last two years of her life in comfort and love right there at the shelter. I made sure the cat was supported monetarily and was honored to do that since I could not keep her myself. It gave me tremendous peace of mind to know they would do that! This awesome group constantly go,above and beyond! We are blessed to have them in our community!

Second Chance Sheridan is an exceptional organization! They are dedicated, caring, professionals who go above and beyond to provide a service that’s all too needed today-rescuing and caring for cats that no one wants or the ones that are no longer able to be cared for in their current homes. They’re the best!

This shelter is Simply Amazing. The hospitality will blow you away! The cats are free roaming, and if you don’t like this shelter, you are heartless!

Since the very beginning of Second Chance Sheridan Cat Rescue their impact on the Sheridan community cats has been amazing. Their 24 hour work day, day in day out, through all the lost holidays time with family, their devotion to all cats is always evident. Thank you Elaine, Rachel, BJ and all the wonderful volunteers…

I adopted two of my kitties from 2nd Chance – brothers and they are awesome kitties. The Volunteers are amazing and are available night and day to help all the needy furbabies in Sheridan. They take in kitties who would not receive the love and attention they get at Second Chance anywhere else. Kudos to everyone who dedicates their time!

The people at Second Chance are always there to help the animals in Sheridan County. They take them in and provide medical care and give them the love that so many have been without. They find the homes of lost pets and new homes for the ones that don’t have them. They truly love and care about these animals. We are so lucky to have them.

I’ve had extensive dealings with them and know they keep the rescue running no matter what! It is all about the kitties and at great personal sacrifice.

They are the most dedicated group of volunteers. They work looooong hours, and will go the extra 100 miles to save a kitty in need. And they take on the hard cases. The spay/neuter program is showing measurable results. Kudos to SCSCR!!!!

I think that the volunteers that put their time and love into this shelter go above and beyond for these amazing animals! So many of them wouldn\’t have had a chance at all and because of this amazing shelter these beautiful cats have more than a second chance….they have hope and a good life!! I appreciate all the dedication that goes into the Second Chance Cat Shelter!! Thank you for all you do!
