Kitten Bouquet

Who DOESN’T love a nice kitten bouquet? Staffer Lorrie wrangling some of the troops after a meet and greet session with potential adopters. ❤️🐾
Our First Year

June 20 marked the official one-year anniversary of the opening of our Angels Camp shelter and adoption center. (We’ve been around as an organization since 1978, but this is our first full-service shelter.) We’re extremely proud of all we’ve accomplished in that short amount of time, especially when you factor in a couple of the […]
What Do You Get For One Low Adoption Fee?

So why should you adopt a kitten from us (or from another reputable shelter or rescue group) instead of taking a “free” one that you see someone offer on Facebook or Craiglist or a flyer at the post office? Because of everything listed here. If you try to provide all the veterinary services that come […]

Contentment

Just a little furry hunk of adorableness to make your day brighter: Meet Joey. Joey is “milk drunk” after guzzling a bottle of formula. Let’s all try to enjoy our next good meal as much as Joey clearly enjoys his. ❤️🐾
Lets Slow Down!

As businesses begin to partially reopen, there will be more traffic on our streets and highways. Please remember that the wild critters have had MANY weeks to get used to and enjoy our roadways being quieter. Our bears, deer, rabbits, and others don’t understand that there will very abruptly be many more cars out there […]
Lets All Practice Kindness

Please remember that guide dogs for the blind haven’t been trained in social distancing, or in lining up to get into stores. If you see a guide dog leading its partner directly to the store entrance and not joining the line outside, he’s only doing what he’s been trained to do. They’re not being rude […]
Leave Fawns Be

We know it’s spring at the humane society when we start receiving this call: “I found an abandoned fawn! Where can I take it?” The answer is almost always the same: The fawn isn’t abandoned and you should leave it right where it is. Female deer hide their newborn fawns in tall grass or brush […]
Your Donations Are A Big Help To Little Animals

Newborn Sophia, pictured here as a kitten, came into our care last year, orphaned and with badly deformed rear legs. Early veterinary intervention and intensive therapy helped her learn to walk, and Sophia now lives a normal life (with an endearing “bunny hop” gait) in her loving permanent home. Sophia is just one of hundreds […]
