About Us...
On May 1, 2023 the Ashe Humane Society became a foster home-based rescue that intakes in-danger animals from Ashe County Animal Control only. We no longer have a building nor a shelter and do not take stray animals nor feral cats.
Our new Spay/Neuter Financial Assistance Program and the new Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return Feral Cat Finaicial Assistance Program started in August 2023!!
We sold our building in July 2023 in order to use the proceeds to better serve our community with these new programs and help all pets and community cats!!
Ashe Humane Society would like to welcome the Friends of Ashe County Animal Shelter group to our rescue community!! They are currently working on obtaining their non-profit 501C3 but meanwhile are working hard in the community!! They are in search of volunteers to help in three areas: Foster Homes for cats and dogs; Transport Volunteers for local and regional transports and Shelter Volunteers to assist in animal care & enrichment.

Cheddar
Cheddar is now ready to be adopted. This orange is one of the sweetest, most good-natured cats.
Celeste
Have you been thinking about adding a cat to your family, but are worried you'll turn into a "crazy cat person?" Have we got the cat for you! Poor Celeste has been with us for a year and has had zero interest. While other of our kitties have been chosen for transport to our rescue partners, Celeste has always been a never-picked. Probably, because while she loves kittens of all kinds -- even human kittens-- she doesn't like adult cats and REALLY is not fond of dogs. Celeste wants to be the one and only furchild of her household. The great thing about her, is she loves humans of all stripes. Her favorite thing to do is insert herself into any situation when she wants attention. Which is pretty frequently if these pictures are any indication. If you are looking for a single feline overlord, Celeste might be the cat you have been looking for. Celeste is FIV/FeLV negative, current on vaccinations, spayed, and is parasite free. While an adult, she's still pretty young. We guesstimate under 2 years old.
Mango
Meet Mango! This precious bobtail orange tabby is looking for her furever home. She is not only beautiful but incredibly sweet and purrs as soon as I walk into the room. She has come a long way from where she was when she was first born. This was the shyest of the litter and would run and hide from you. She now seeks out attention and loves her scratches and pets! She is not a good fit for children or other animals. She is a bit too nervous for that. If you need one special friend in your life to provide you with unconditional love this is your girl! If you are interested in this sweet girl please fill out an application or contact us with any questions. She is 10 months old, spayed and up-to-date on all of her vaccines. Her adoption fees can be sponsored for the perfect adopter!
We do not have a building nor shelter. We are a foster-based rescue that is entirely run out of private homes. (Read above on this page)
