Pet overpopulation and animal homelessness is a community-wide mission. Are you doing your part? The best way to get involved is to start in your neighborhood. Whether you have 40 hours a week or just 40 minutes, every little bit counts, visit. We are a cage-free friendly environment providing medical & rehabilitation services when needed.

Be a responsible pet owner. Keep current identification on your dog or cat at all times. Spay or neuter your pet. Always keep your dog or cat properly confined or supervised. In addition to the basics—food, water, shelter, and veterinary care—give your pet lots of love and attention. For assistance on pet care, visit www.PetsforLife.org.
Make a donation to Angels With Paws. Donate food, old blankets and towels, or other needed supplies. Become a member or sponsor a special needs cat.

Lend a hand. Volunteer your time with us; play with the cats, help groom the animals, stuff envelopes for a mailing, and help publicize an event or hold one on our behalf. Contact us for other ideas or what volunteer opportunities are available.
