Intake procedures differ from previous years. In accordance with our contract with the City of Oxford and Lafayette County, we only serve the Oxford/Lafayette County community and WILL REQUIRE proof of residency from individuals surrendering animals. Oxford/Lafayette County residents must provide proof such as a Driver's License, utility bill, or rent/lease contract for verification.
Residents outside of the Oxford/Lafayette County should contact rescues/shelters within your community.
We are in need of donations to purchase puppy kennels, office and cleaning supplies, and funding to help provide necessary supplies/fuel for our animals we are sending on transport! Show your support by volunteering, donating, or sharing with your family and friends! The homeless animals will forever be grateful! We have started with nothing but love in our hearts to help those who cannot help themselves! Be a part of our team and become their hero!
If you still have questions, feel free to send us a message on Facebook, email us at info@mscritterz.com, stop by during our public hours, or give us a call!
Thanks to your support, MS Critterz has served over 3,000 animals in the 18 months since we opened our doors in October 2018. We have just passed amazing milestones of 1,050 adoptions and 1,300 transports to help animals find their forever homes. Our commitment from day one has always been to be a no-kill shelter.
While we receive funding from Lafayette County and the City of Oxford, those funds do not cover all of our costs. MS Critterz also relies on your donations and support – these donations make a huge impact on our ability to save these amazing animals and help them find their forever homes!
The impact of the Corona Virus pandemic has hit us hard like many others in our community. We’ve had to cancel several fundraising events that are critical to our ability to save the lives of the animals we serve. Because of that, we now need our friends more than ever. We are starting our Friends of MS Critterz 2020 campaign.
Be a part of this, become a Friend of MS Critterz.
Just a $75 donation will provide medical care for the animals who come through our doors, defray the cost of spay/neuter, and ensure that we have food for all of the animals in our care while we continue each day to help them find loving, forever homes.
For your generous donation, you will receive a car/fridge magnet, a ten percent off microchipping of one animal; five percent off any MS Critterz apparel, and a VIP status at all MS Critterz events for 2020. We know that’s not a lot, but we know our friends are not giving to receive something for themselves. Your gift today will make a difference in the lives of each and every animal in our care and have been integral to the care of over 3,000 animals that have come through our doors.
PLEASE DONATE TODAY to become a Friend of MS Critterz so we can continue to help the amazing animals we serve.
We are a nonprofit organization focused on helping make the world around us a better, happier place. With the help of our dedicated staff, volunteers, we organize fosters, adoptions, and transports for the homeless animals from the Oxford/Lafayette County community.
Our mission is to provide temporary shelter to stray, abandoned, and surrendered animals for the purpose of finding permanent suitable homes, to promote adoptions, to find foster homes, and to organize transports to reputable animal shelters/rescue groups to help reduce excessive euthanasia with the goal of no-kill (90% live release rate) within our community, provide low cost spay/neuter services from participating veterinarians, and the humane treatment of animals within our community.
Are you passionate about what we're doing? Let us know! We are always looking for volunteers to help us make our vision a reality. We'll help you find a way to volunteer that best suits you. We're excited to have you join the team!
Whether you help through monetary donations, volunteering your time, or spreading our mission through word-of-mouth, thank you. We couldn't accomplish our goals without the help of supporters like you.
