About Us

Furkids is a 501(c)(3), charitable, non-profit animal rescue organization located in Atlanta, Georgia. Furkids mission is to:

  • find permanent, loving, homes for our rescued animals;
  • and inform the public about pet overpopulation, promote sterilization and provide information for low-cost, high-quality spay/neuter organizations.

Volunteer with Furkids

Come volunteer with one of Georgia's largest no-kill animal rescue organizations. Furkids has five PetSmart adoption center locations throughout Atlanta: Midtown, Perimeter, Smyrna, Northlake, and Mall of Georgia. You can also volunteer at our cage-free, no-kill animal shelter in Atlanta. Get started by visiting our volunteer page.


Pet Overpopulation Statistics

As of 2005, Metro Atlanta pet overpopulation statistics were staggering. Of the 19 county animal control shelters surveyed, 130,000 animals were impounded collectively (SPOTsociety.org). Of the animals impounded, a mere 8% were reclaimed and only 22% were adopted or transferred to rescue agencies. The sad part of the story is that close to 60% of the impounded animals were euthanized due to a lack of homes in the Metro Atlanta area. In some remote counties, this number is as high as 90%. You can help reduce these statistics by taking advantage of the low cost spay/neuter resources on our website.

Kitty of the Month

I am a special little girl named Phoebe in need of a forever home! I am about 3 months old and very playful and fun! I get a little wobbly when I am scared but I have been completely checked out by a kitty neurologist and there is nothing wrong with me – I just get the shakes!! But once I relax I am all all kitten – play, play, play!! I am also sweet and affectionate. I have been fully vetted and spayed and am ready to come home with you!!
