About Us
The Animal Refuge Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that has served Hardin and surrounding counties in Kentucky since July 29, 1989. It is a no-kill, cageless animal shelter facility that shelters animals and acts as an adoption agency, finding loving homes for all in its care. At any given time ARC houses at minimum 130 cats and 15 dogs.
Since we are no-kill, our veterinary expenses for special needs and long term care can be extensive. Some of our residents include FIV, Feline Leukemia, diabetic, senior pets, etc.
Our cats are housed in a communal environment in a renovated Ranch-style house in Vine Grove, Kentucky. Our animals are accustomed to the daily activities of ARC Staff and volunteers in addition to playtime and socialization, which makes them easier to adopt.
