County Wardens deliver approximately 2,200 animals to Orphans of the Storm annually, making it the main source for stray and unwanted animals in Lake County.
Spay and Stay is a non-profit organization dedicated to working with compassionate individuals and local governments to control the growth of the feral cat population in Lake County, while implementing long-term solutions to its source: unaltered, free-roaming and/or abandoned domestic cats.
