The Decatur & Macon County Animal Shelter Foundation’s mission is to care for and aid in the adoption efforts of the homeless companion animals of Macon County.
We raise funds to provide care and treatment to the animals held at the Animal Control & Care Center. We provide major funding to renovate and equip the Center. The Foundation also promotes the spay and neuter of companion animals.

DMCASF & Community Cats:
The Decatur & Macon County Animal Shelter Foundation recently started a Trap/Neuter/Return (TNR) program for community cats in Macon County.
The Humane Society of America estimates there are 50 million community cats in the United States. Community cats can be feral or abandoned pet cats. Unfortunately, as these cats are generally not considered adoptable, they are euthanized when trapped and brought to county shelters. Even no-kill shelters can’t place feral cats in homes. Feral and stray cats live and thrive in every landscape, from inner city to rural farmland.
TNR benefits both the cats and the community. Cats are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and eartipped (the universal symbol of a neutered and vaccinated cat), and then returned to their outdoor home. The colony’s population stabilizes and the behaviors and stresses associated with mating stop. TNR is a humane, effective approach for feral cats.
If you need assistance with feral cats, please call us at 217-423-PETS, or email us at info@dmcasf.org
Please help fill the empty bowls of those less fortunate this season!
We have teamed up with Catholic Charities in hopes to fill the food pantry for our local animals. We are asking for dry or soft dog/puppy, cat/kitten food for those who are struggling to feed themselves. This will relieve them and well as stress on the pet(s).
Donations can be made at Catholic Charities at 247 W Prairie St in Decatur, any questions or assistance with donating call Barry at 217-428-3458 ext 237 or email us at info@dmcasf.org
Thank you in advance!
