We also have other urgent needs to help us take care of the rescue animals already in our shelter and foster homes. We are almost out of dry cat food and clumping cat litter. We do not have the funds to purchase cat food and litter at this time. If anyone local can please donate either Purina One Chicken & Rice dry cat food, or Purina Naturals dry cat food, or any brand of clumping cat litter we would really appreciate it! Please be aware that we only have one drop off location now. All cat food and litter donations need to be dropped off  in the donation bins in the lobby at the Bridge Storage located at 2510 Ambassador Caffery in Lafayette. If you would like a donation receipt, please leave your name, mailing address, and list of items donated with Miss. Linda or Miss. Miranda and they will get the information to us when we pick up your donations. This is the ONLY official drop off location for donations. If you need to drop off at another location, please contact us at ahspets@gmail.com or 337-668-4484, to make arrangements to meet one of our volunteers to ensure that your donation goes where it is intended. Thank you!

Please note: Thanks to Purina’s Rally to Rescue we are still using the pallet of dry dog food that they donated! We do not need dog food at this time. We only need cat food and cat litter. Small animal food and supplies are also welcomed.

We have four small rescue dogs who will be starting heartworm treatment on June 2nd. We need to raise the funds to pay that bill, as we as help pay recent vet bills for spaying, neutering, testing, vaccinating, and much more. We recently took in a puppy that was very sick and required hospitalization for several days with all sorts of testing and we have no idea how much that bill will be. The puppy is fully recovered and doing fine. Also on June 2nd, Tubbie the Cocker Spaniel puppy will be neutered and undergo surgery to correct a cherry eye. The surrendering of baby Easter bunnies that are no longer wanted has begun, and we have three new rabbits that will need to be spayed before they are available for adoption. Kitten season is also in full swing, and we have committed to six litters of kittens, with more cats and kittens on our waiting list for when we have space. This ChipIn will not completely pay off our current vet bills, but will help to put a dent in them so that we can continue to save more animals. If anyone prefers to mail a check, please make it out to Acadiana Humane Society and drop it in the mail to us at P.O. Drawer C; Sunset, Louisiana 70584-0536. Our PayPal email address is info@acadianahumane.org. Thank you!

If you would like to meet some of our adoptable pets, some of our volunteers will be at the Lafayette Petco on Louisiana Avenue on the dates listed below with an assortment of adoptable cats, dogs, and small animals that are available for adoption! To see a current list of available pets, please check out our website by clicking here. If you see a pet in this list that you would like to meet at one of our adoption events, please email the foster listed on the pet’s petfinder page and let them know. If you want to ensure that they bring the pet you are interested in, please go ahead and fill out our prescreening application and attach it to the email (or fax it in) as this shows us you are seriously interested.

You can also meet some of our adoptable cats and small animals at theLafayette Petco anytime that the store is open, as some of our animals are regularly housed in the store to be seen by potential adopters. If you meet one our of adoptable pets in Petco during the week and would like to adopt, please speak to a Petco employee. Applications are available in the store, and the Petco managers and some employees know how to reach us for a phone interview. Small animal and cat adoptions can usually be done same day. However dog adoptions do require a home visit first.

We will also have fundraiser items available at our Petco adoption events to help raise money for vet bills and pet food. Handmade jewelry, rescue car magnets, pet treats, candy bars, and sometimes other items as they are available.

We have recently taken in quite a number of dogs, cats, rabbits, and other small animals. Our vet bills are ever growing. All three of the small dogs we rescued recently from local animal control facilities are heartworm positive. We need to raise funds to pay on our current vet bills for spaying, neutering, testing, vaccinating, etc. As well as raise money for the costly heartworm treatment for Sushi the Pug and Shelley the Sckipperke/Terrier mix from St. Martin Animal Control, Krissy the ChiWeenie from Vermilion Animal Control, and Raisin the abandoned Terrier mix. You can find out more about our animal rescue on our website and our Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/acadianahumane Please help Acadiana Humane Society to keep saving the lives of these precious animals. Thank you!

Although our hurricane safe animal shelter is not fully constructed yet, we have been using it to house kittens in cage systems. We have also been able to crate dogs on cold and/or wet nights, so they don’t have to sleep in their dog houses in the outdoor kennels. We still need to add interior walls, plumbing, fixtures, etc. However, as long as the animals do not run loose, we can keep them safe inside the incomplete shelter as needed. We have an air conditioner/heater window unit that used to be sufficient for keeping the inside of the animal shelter warm. However, the heater has died and no longer works. We have priced a new unit that is the right size for our shelter. We urgently need $700.00 to purchase this ac/heater unit. If anyone can help, we can accept PayPal donations specifically for the heater at shelter@acadianahumane.org. If you use the PayPal button below, please type in your donation amount and click the “update total” button before logging into PayPal. Thank you!
