Lemongrass Spa Fundraiser April 2021
One of our volunteers is a Lemongrass Spa consultant. We thank her for her online fundraiser to benefit the Calaveras Humane Society which ran in April, 2021. Lemongrass Spa offers gluten-free, toxin-free, certified organic skincare and body care products and more. ❤🐾
Thank You, Tracy Malandra!
Happy Administrative Professionals Day to our organization’s very own admin assistant, Tracy Malandra! Tracy (pictured here with adoptable kitty Chappy) keeps everything on track and running smoothly at the Calaveras Humane Society, from payroll to accounts payable to human resources and much, much more. 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! ❤🐾
Don’t Be a Kit-Napper!
Found newborn kittens? STOP! When kittens are very young, their best chances of survival are with their mom. Mom is likely nearby, searching for food (or hiding from you).

Thank You From The Itty Bitty Kitties!

Our […]

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, […]
Thank You, Sierra Realty

They purchased a truly massive order of both dog and cat food for our Pet Food Bank through our friends at Spence Ranch Feed & Supply, which the good folks from Spence delivered to us today. (That’s Diana Spence’s pupper, […]
Washing Dog Toys
A peek behind the scenes at our adoption center: The washing machine and dishwasher both got a weekend workout, disinfecting ALL the dog toys. ❤🐾
Thank You, Tractor Supply Company
We sure appreciate businesses who support our work! Many thanks to the good folks at Tractor Supply Co. in Jackson for sending over this wonderful haul of goodies for our Pet Food Bank today. Our ambassadog Finnegan definitely approves! ❤
