Thank you, Cedar Creek Realty

In February of this year, we began a new partnership with Team French at Cedar Creek Realty (Shelby French Sells Cedar Creek Realty DRE #02100494). Every time Team French (mom Shelby and daughter Sarah) sells a home, they will sponsor the adoption fee of an animal here at the Calaveras Humane Society! Pictured here are […]
Nick Nurtures Foster Kittens (Video)

Remember Nick, the sweet fellow who’d been hit by a car, needed a leg amputated, and was eventually adopted by his foster family? His mom and dad are back to fostering kittens once again, and Nick is on the front lines helping. Yes, our hearts just exploded into glitter, how about yours? ❤️🐾
Thank You, Calaveras County Women’s Network

Many thanks and four paws up to the Calaveras County Women’s Network for their generous donation to the Calaveras Humane Society!

Thank You, Tracy Malandra!

Happy Administrative Professionals Day to our organization’s very own admin assistant, Tracy Malandra!

We’d be lost without her! ❤️🐾
Katniss Weighing In

Foster kitten Katniss Everdeen has her daily weigh-in Friday on a brand-new digital scale. Knowing a neonatal kitten’s weight to the ounce can make a huge difference in successfully providing care. We are happily using ALL the wonderful goodies you guys sent for our Itty Bitty Kitties Formula Drive. Thanks, everyone, for your generosity! ❤🐾
Thank You From The Itty Bitty Kitties!

Once again, we’re just bowled over by the generosity of our community. This year’s Itty Bitty Kitty Formula Drive was our best ever, resulting in enough formula, Miracle Nipples, Heartbeat Kitties, microwave warming discs, digital scales, and more to get us through at least the first half of kitten season — and probably beyond! Our […]
César Chávez Loved His Pets

César Chávez (1927-1993) said that people should learn to “respect all life without exceptions.” He had two German Shepherd Dogs, Huelga and Boycott, and strongly believed that people had to learn to become non-violent toward their fellow creatures in order to be content with themselves. “Kindness and compassion towards all living beings is a mark […]
The Itty Bitty Kitty Formula Drive 2021

Saving the lives of hundreds of underage kittens in Calaveras each year is always one of our proudest accomplishments (and “kitten season” is our busiest time of year!). We’re here to take the babies in, parcel them out to foster volunteers for whom we provide training and support, and ensure the bitties get proper nourishment, […]
