After several years in animal rescue, the Acadiana Humane Society was formed and incorporated in 2000.
On January 1, 2007, My Cat Ranch merged with Acadiana Humane
Society. Operating as one rescue under official 501c3 non-profit
guidelines, this allows us to work together to save more homeless
animals. Our current goal is to raise funds for a hurricane-proof cat
shelter, to house our rescue cats and kittens until such a time
that they are ready to be adopted.
We are a foster home network.
All of our animals are kept in our homes, and are introduced
to children, cats, other dogs, men and women. Placing cats
and dogs in foster homes allows an opportunity to observe how
the animal will react to situations that will occur once they have
been adopted.
This allows us to guide prospective adopters to the animal that
we feel is best suited for their household and lifestyle – and for
well being of the particular animal.
Our Mission:
To work with other humane societies, shelters, and fostering programs,
to provide food, shelter and medical care to those animals awaiting
placement into good permanent homes.
To heighten awareness of animal cruelty and to strive to prevent it.
To educate the public in the critical need to spay or neuter their pets
and in proper care and ownership as well as providing generic
information that further empowers responsible pet ownership
To end the use of euthanasia as a form of animal control.
To provide a source of funds to improving health conditions of all companion animals.
To instill a sense of stewardship in the next generation of companion animal caretakers.
