Save an Animal

  • Online Pet Care & Veterinary Services via OnlineDoctor.com  Social distancing doesn’t mean your pet’s health should suffer! If you’re having trouble getting an appointment with your regular veterinarian, or if you simply have questions you’d like to ask of a veterinary professional without risking in-person contact, OnlineDoctor.com can help! Oh, yeah…and they’ve got some great resources for humans, if you need them, too. 😉
  • Humane Society of the United States
  • ASPCA/American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
  • The Animal Rescue Site  Click daily to help shelter animals!
  • Animal Welfare Council of the Alleghenies
  • Dogs Deserve Better  A wonderful organization dedicated to putting an end to chaining and tethering man’s best friend.
  • The Hundred Cat Foundation, Inc.  Another cat rescue organization that gets my enthusiastic, two-thumbs-up approval!  This group (which is local to me and gets a lot of my personal support) is dedicated to rescuing cats on a larger scale than many local shelters can handle.  They also run a much-needed TNR (Trap/Neuter/Release) program to eliminate litters upon litters of unwanted kittens to stray adult cats that will end up becoming strays (and producing litters) themselves…if they even survive that long.  In addition to donating much-needed funds and supplies to this organization, I would also encourage you to visit their website, find the iSearch & iGive links in the middle of their “Help HCF” page, and sign up to begin raising money for The Hundred Cat Foundation every time you search the web or shop online.  It’s easy, it’s free, and it’s for a great cause!
  • Out to Pasture Farm & Rescue, Inc.  A fabulous organization that takes in needy animals of all kinds, especially those with injuries or health issues that might make them harder to place in good, loving homes.  The founders of Out to Pasture were recently featured in Woman’s World magazine.  They have amazingly big hearts and are doing really terrific things for animals.  Trust me on this, and please support them as much as you can!
  • Blind Cat Rescue and Sanctuary, Inc.  OMG, is there anything sadder or sweeter?  Another wonderful, infinitely worthy cause, so please help them however you can!
  • Tiger Haven, Inc.  If you love beautiful, majestic Big Cats as much as I do…& are as horrified by how they are too often treated…this is a wonderful organization that’s helping to save them.
  • Alley Cat Rescue
  • American Humane
  • PETA/People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals
  • Bat World Sanctuary and Educational Center
  • Best Friends Animal Society / Best Friends Store
  • The Fund for Animals
  • The Official Site for Mutts Comics  Adorable, with a new quote & new comic strip almost every day. Not to mention a Mutts store with some fabulous items. My favorite? “Saving the World One Kitty at a Time” tees and mugs, of course. 🙂
