Transylvania County Animal Services

Dr. Harold Sims, a retired college biology professor, and his wife Kay, a formerly employed school social worker, founded Catman2 in 1996. The Sims' residence in Cullowhee, North Carolina is next to a sizable shelter where the cats reside.

A volunteer-run, nonprofit group called Charlie's Angels is committed to rescuing adoptable dogs and cats from local shelters.

The Jackson County Department of Public Health's Environmental Health Section includes the Animal Shelter. We are appreciative of all the helping hands that went into taking care of and safeguarding our pets.

Sarge's initial task was to prevent animals in the Haywood County Animal Shelter from being put to death. By promoting the relationships between animals and their human partners, Sarge's Animal Rescue Foundation, Inc. seeks to further the original objective by aiming to reduce the number of stray dogs and cats in Haywood County as well as to enhance their wellbeing. In order to achieve this, we care for the animals in our Adoption Center while we look for their ideal homes and help local animal caregivers wherever we can.

The type of animal(s) involved, the type of neglect/abuse, and a full description of the property and/or owner information must all be provided to Animal Services.
