Coastal Pet Rescue’s feral cat program, The Milton Project, was founded in 2005 to address the overwhelming number of feral cats in the Savannah area. Since its inception, The Milton Project has trapped over 300 cats, preventing 126,000,000 more cats from roaming the Savannah streets.* For more information, visit http://www.themiltonproject.org.


*This statistic is based off of studies by The Humane Society of the United States that in seven years, one female cat and her offspring can produce 420,000 cats.

Coastal Pet Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal rescue organization dedicated to saving the lives of homeless, abused and neglected dogs and cats in Savannah and surrounding areas. Founded in February 2003, Coastal Pet Rescue changes the lives of homeless pets in Chatham, Bryan and Effingham Counties through its foster home program and small capacity shelter, Camp Pawsawhile Retreat.
