We are a 501c3 non-profit organization. We all are volunteers. Our foster homes are our own homes that we open to homeless dogs and cats, puppies and kittens, providing them with shelter, food, medical care and love.
We rely on the adoption fees, donations, fundraisers, grants, the generousity of the community supporters like yourself and organizations like the Krewe Des Chienes and PetsMart Charities. While we whole heartedly support the objectives of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, we do not receive funding from them either directly or indirectly. We are not in any way affliated with the National Humane Society either, therefore, we do not receive funding from them either.
On this page, you will find several ways that you can choose to help us. You can choose where you want your donation to go. Every donation, no matter how small, helps! Best of all, its tax deductible!
You can send a check by conventional snail mail to:
Acadiana Humane Society / Cat Ranch
P.O. Drawer C
Sunset, LA 70584
Or you can use the Paypal button at the right side of this blog, to make your donation.
Our adoption fees cover the following costs for Veterinary Services:
Spay/Neuter surgery
FIV/FeLV testing for kittens/cats
Heartworm testing for dogs
First series of routine vaccinations
Rabies vaccinations
Microchipping
However, we do encounter unexpected medical expenses such as needing veterinary treatment for injuried or sick animals. Donations can be designated for our Emergency Fund for these unexpected expenses, including heartworm treatment for dogs in our foster care network.
While the animals are under our foster care, these are the supplies we use on a routine basis:
Dog food (canned and dry)
Cat food (canned and dry)
Cat litter
Advantage, Frontline, etc (flea preventative)
Heartgard (heartworm prevenative for dogs)
Pet carriers
Toys for both dogs & cats
We accept actual donations of these items as well as monetary donations. To see examples of the above mentioned supplies, click on this link: http://www.mycatranch.com/needs.html
We also accept coupons for these items. You can mail the coupon clippings to us.
Check out the Hurricane Shelter page for items we need to complete the hurrican shelter.
Become an Guardian Angel for one of our Special Needs Pets. Many of the animals that we rescue have medical problems due to abuse or neglect inflicted by their previous owners. We are committed to saving those animals that are expected to make a full recovery and that are otherwise adoptable. Some of our animals have health issues that necessitate special care or special medications. Your sponsorship insures that we can care for these special needs pets until they are recovered or until we find suitable placement for them.
You can also make a donation in the memory of your beloved pet or pet(s) that have passed on to the Rainbow Bridge. Your pet will then be immortalized on the Little Wings Memorial Wall. We also accept donations in honor of human dog or cat lovers who have passed on.
