We need your help in two ways
DONATIONS:
First, our donations are way down and we need your help. We know that this is a very difficult time for all Americans ~ job uncertainty and the possibility of illness is in all of our minds. We can only hope that you, our community, can give just a small amount to help us help the animals that cannot help themselves. We still are caring for the pets in fosters and with Spring, comes kittens (they are coming in already) and medical bills.
FOSTERS:
Second, we need foster homes ready for cats, moms and kittens, and orphaned kittens! If you have some time and a quiet area in your home, would you please consider being a foster parent? Please go to our Foster Program page to find out more.
SHRED-IT EVENT!
Thank you for your support!
The cats & dogs are coming!
So many dogs and cats are at risk in the southern states. We are working as hard as possible to place them so we can save more. Young dogs, older dogs, large dogs, small dogs and young cats, older cats are all in need of homes that will love them and care for them! Check the ADOPT ME! page for info!
Pets are Family Too
Chandra Bishun-Freeman is helping animal shelters like ours by selling masks handmade by her mom and donating 20% of the proceeds. Here is a link to Chandra's story of why she is doing this. We want to say thank you to her for the $300 donation to NFSAW! If you would like to order masks, Chandra can be reached at bishun5@hotmail.com
