World Spay Day is an annual campaign that shines a spotlight on spay/neuter. Spaying & neutering pets is a proven way to save the lives of companion animals, feral cats, and street dogs who might otherwise be put down in a shelter or killed on the street. Learn more about World Spay Day here: http://
Acadiana Humane Society is participating this year by collecting funds all during the month of February for the Acadiana Humane Society Spay/Neuter Fund. This fund is used to help low income people and families who qualify to get their cat, dog, or rabbit spayed or neutered at 50% off or free, depending on their income/need. PayPal donations for the Spay/Neuter Fund can be sent to spay@acadianahumane.org. Checks or money orders can be sent to Acadiana Humane Society; ATTN: Spay/Neuter Fund; P.O. Drawer C; Sunset, LA 70584-0536.
If you are in the Acadiana area and can not afford to spay or neuter your cat or dog, please contact us at spay@acadianahumane.org to request an application for our Spay/Neuter program. If you qualify and we have funds available then we will be able to help. If no funds are available, then we will let you know about other programs in the area that you may be able to get assistance from. This program is available all year as long as there is funding available. Thank you!

Acadiana Humane Society needs your help! We are an all volunteer no-kill non-profit animal rescue. Most of our rescue animals are housed in foster homes. Several animals are temporarily housed in cages in our unfinished hurricane safe animal shelter until foster space or adoptive homes can be found. These cats, dogs, rabbits, ferrets, and other animals in our care require proper food, supplies, and vet care. Due to limited resources, and the reduction in the amount of donations ever since the oil spill and other economic hardships in our area, we are in dire need of financial assistance to meet the daily needs of these animals, and to pay off our overwhelming vet bills. We have set up a ChipIn that will cover our end of the year expenses including paying off our current outstanding vet bills. If you click to pay through the ChipIn it will send your donation to us through PayPal, and register the amount of your donation so others know how much more we need to raise to meet our goal. Please help if you can! Thank you!
If you prefer to send a donation via check or money order, you may do so at one of our adoption events (see list below for dates, times, and locations) or by dropping it in the mail. Our mailing address is: Acadiana Humane Society; P.O. Drawer C; Sunset, LA 70584-0536. Thank you!
Another way you can help is by dropping off cat food in our donation boxes in the lobby of Bridge Storage at 2510 Ambassador Caffery in Lafayette. Please be sure to see Linda or Miranda in the office if you would like to leave your name and address for a donation receipt.
If you would like to donate to us in person, please either email our Director, Sue Rabeaux at suerabeaux@gmail.com or stop by one of our Petco adoption events and we can accept them at our adoption table. Please be sure that if you bring them to our adoption events at Petco, that you hand it to either Sue or an Acadiana Humane Society volunteer at our adoption table, to be sure that we get it. Thank you very much!
A special shout out and thank you to Todd Haberkorn and Team Haberkorn for their support of our animal rescue! Todd teamed up with other voice actors to create a 2012 “The Fur Behind the Mic” Calendar to raise money for Acadiana Humane Society! The VAs and Team Haberkorn core members worked together to pull it off and the SOLD OUT on preorder! Todd has already sent us the proceeds from the sale via PayPal! Thank you Todd and Team Haberkorn! We couldn’t do what we do without supporters like you! There is a news article about it on Anime News Network. Todd and Team Haberkorn continue to support Acadiana Humane Society every time a new member joins and every time they purchase items from the Haberdashery. If you are an Anime fan please consider supporting our animal rescue by joining Team Haberkorn! Membership does have it’s perks too! You can read more about those perks in this blog entry at Mic Costumes.

Acadiana Humane Society needs your help in several ways. Please read and help where you can, and share with others to help multiply the assistance to help our rescued animals. Thank you!
We are participating in Chase Community Giving’s contest and with your help we can win a portion of the $3 million dollars they want to donate to charity! If Acadiana Humane Society in Sunset, LA wins, we can use the money to pay off our vet bills, purchase much needed cat food, and finish the construction of the interior of our hurricane safe animal shelter. All of this would go a long way to helping our no-kill animal rescue thrive and be able to do more for homeless cats, dogs, and other pets. Please vote soon, as the contest ends on November 22nd! You can also share us on Twitter and Facebook and ask your friends to help vote too. Thank you!
Acadiana Humane Society is in urgent need of cat food! We currently have over 100 cats in foster care that need to be fed. As well as many AHS Pet Food Bank recipients who are asking for cat food to be able to keep their pets. We are almost out of cat food! We have plenty of donated dog food, but people rarely donate cat food. We will take ANY brand of dry and canned cat food, as we can use it for our Pet Food Bank to help low income families keep their pets! We do have our cats on specific diets of Purina One Chicken and Rice dry cat food, Purina Naturals, Purina Cat Chow, and Purina Kitten Chow. But, we have no funds to purchase any cat food! Donations to help us be able to purchase cat food can also be sent through PayPal to info@acadianahumane.org . Checks, money orders, and Petco or Wal-Mart gift cards can be sent to Acadiana Humane Society, P.O. Drawer C; Sunset, LA 70584-0536. If you would like to purchase cat food to donate, we have donation boxes in the lobby of Bridge Storage at 2510 Ambassador Caffery in Lafayette. Please be sure to see Linda or Miranda in the office if you would like to leave your name and address for a donation receipt. If you would like to donate to us in person, please either email our Director, Sue Rabeaux at suerabeaux@gmail.com or stop by one of our Petco adoption events and we can accept them at our adoption table. Please be sure that if you bring them to our adoption events at Petco, that you hand it to either Sue or an Acadiana Humane Society volunteer at our adoption table, to be sure that we get it.
