Thanks So Much, Kevin and Sue!

Kevin and Sue of Murphys California

We were absolutely bowled over Friday when Murphys residents Kevin and Sue showed up with box after box after box of goodies. Dog food. Cat food. Dry food. Canned food. Even treats! It took multiple trips back and forth to their car with a dolly to get the whole haul inside. These two are huge […]

Emergency Intake

It was all hands on deck this week for an emergency kitten intake. A very sick, malnourished litter now has a fighting chance thanks to our dedicated team. Never a dull moment around here!

Thanks, Hadessa!

Thanks, Hadessa

Many thanks to Angels Camp resident and soon-to-be first grader Hadessa for having a lemonade stand to benefit the Calaveras Humane Society! She donated half her proceeds to us Wednesday, along with some first-rate artwork. Hadessa is pictured here with adoptable kitten Bobby. She says she wanted to give “because I love animals.”

Thank you, Shelley and Bud!

Four paws up and MANY thanks to San Andreas residents Shelley and Bud Steffen for their ongoing generosity!

Dog and human shaking hands

For those following the news reports regarding overcrowding at other area shelters: We picked up four dog transfers today from our friends at Tuolumne County Animal Control.

Make a Difference, Not a Noise

Fireworks frighten pets

You’ve probably seen the posts being circulated on social media, urging folks to forego purchasing fireworks and buy a bag or two of pet food for their local shelter instead. “Don’t make a noise. Make a difference,” they say.   We love this sentiment! And for the record, we will happily accept ANY brand of […]

Formula Drive 2022

While kitten being bottle fed - The Itty Bitty Kitty Formula Drive 2022

The Kittens Are Coming! We’re already seeing the first of the neonatal babies and pregnant mamas coming through our doors, which is an indication that yep, it’s almost kitten season — and it’s gonna be a long one. Formula for the orphaned wee ones is a huge expense for us when it’s not donated, and […]

Take the Betty White Challenge!

Betty While Playing with a dog - The Betty White Challenge

Many have shared the #BettyWhiteChallenge on social media, encouraging others to honor her life and her birthday (Betty would have been 100 on January 17) by donating to an animal shelter in her name. Betty worked tirelessly to improve the lives of animals, particularly our beloved dog and cat companions. We can’t think of anything […]
