Our Apologies!

We thank you the patient public for hanging in there with us!

Weather conditions created a very heavy kitten season for KHS, and a rash of animals in dangerous situations such as hot cars.

Our team of folks is working hard to provide prompt priority care to animals most in need, thank you for your understanding.

We have also recently received great support from our volunteers to assist with phone lines and adoptions.

Is there really a connection between animal cruelty and domestic violence or other types of human violence?

Taken from American Humane Association for education purposes:

Numerous studies have shown a strong connection of this type of violence, and children who engage in acts of cruelty often graduate to violence against other children if not stopped.

Following are some statistics on domestic violence and animal cruelty:

Battered Women:
71% of abused women report that their batterers have threatened to hurt/kill their pets and have done so.

32% of battered women with children report that their children have hurt or killed pets.
