Make a Difference, Not a Noise
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
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!
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 […]
Thank You So Much!
We’re just bowled over by the incredible response we got to our latest request for food for our Pet Food Bank. A huge, heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who supported us so generously with your dog and cat food contributions, whether brought in person, sent via Amazon, or even (this one fellow was clever!) purchased […]
In Need Of More Foster Homes
We continually have both types in need of foster care. The spicy variety are typically the orphaned offspring of a feral mama cat, and need to be almost literally smothered with affection till they become purring, attention-seeking love nuggets. Whether you like ’em spicy or sweet, we’re always grateful for new foster volunteers. This kitten […]
Donate At Local Stores
The CHS donation banks found in local businesses throughout the county are an important fundraising tool for us. Every handful of coins or dollar bill goes directly to help the animals in our care, and we thank you for sending those funds our way. We appreciate all the merchants who generously feature our donation banks […]

One of our programs that helps with this is our Senior Veterinary Assistance, made possible by a grant from the Calaveras Community Foundation. Calaveras residents aged 65+ […]
365 Days A Year
Our announcement that we were closed for the Fourth of July prompted a couple of questions from our followers. Please know that we have staff on site 365 days a year providing care for our animals. When we say we are “closed,” that means our administrative services (adoptions, Pet Food Bank, etc.) are unavailable to […]
Tuesday’s Kitten
This little one came to us Tuesday, after a young, inexperienced feral mother cat (barely more than a kitten herself) hid her inside a barbecue and, frightened by the home’s dogs, disappeared and didn’t return. The baby is now safely in a volunteer foster home, where she will be able to join another litter of […]
