Boone County Animal Care is a 501c3 non-profit animal welfare organization located in Columbia, Missouri. We are entirely foster-based organization whose passion is improving the lives of animals in our community. We provide care to kittens and cats of all ages and physical condition until they are successfully adopted into a family home.

Founded on the belief that every animal deserves a chance at a healthy and loving life, Boone County Animal Care has been serving the community through foster based programs and volunteer support since 2012.   With the establishment of a permanent no-kill shelter, the organization will expand its ability to provide medical treatment, adoption services, and long-term care for vulnerable animals while strengthening community partnerships in animal rescue and advocacy.

Since opening in 2012, we have been able to help thousands of Boone County’s community cats that are primarily strays, injured, or feral cats and kittens.  We also work with hoarding situations and kill shelters, we pull many cats to safety on euthanasia lists.   It’s important to our mission to decrease the number of cats in our area by providing spay/neuter surgeries to not only our adopted cats but also the community cats that we trap.   Our community greatly benefits from the work we do by decreasing the number of euthanized and homeless cats in Mid-Missouri.  If people cannot afford spay and neuter services, BCAC will pay for those to be done.
