Meet Your Furever Friend
Our adoptables can’t wait to find their match!
Hank
Meeeooww! I’m Hank! I’m a super affectionate senior gentleman. I am a cool cat and just want to chill on your lap and be buddies.
Lyra
I’m shy and sweet Lyra. My life was a calm one before my person had to go into assisted living. I need to go home with my brother, Liam.
Pip
I’m looking for my one-and-only, and I mean that literally: I’m in search of a one-person household where I can also be the only animal.

Our Programs
Learn how we help animals at our shelter and in the community.
Our Shelter & Foster Program
We operate a free-roam shelter for cats and foster program for dogs and cats. We commit to the animals we rescue for life, including post-adoption support and a lifetime return policy.
Animal Aid Cares Fund
The Cares Fund is a partnership with local veterinary clinics to assist with financial aid for urgent medical or behavioral care. Since 2011, we have provided more than $50,000 in lifesaving grants.
Our Heartstrings Program
We specialize in helping animals we call Heartstrings Pets. These longer-term adoptables may be senior animals, shy or undersocialized pets, or animals with medical or behavioral needs.
