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 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. Thank you very much!

 

 

Acadiana Humane Society is also in need of donations to pay on our vet bills. Donations can be sent via PayPal to info@acadianahumane.org and designate in the note area that it is for vet bills.

We are also currently doing our winter raffle. Click here for more information and photos of the Dog Gift Basket valued at over $550.00! Gift basket includes all sorts of dog treats, toys, food, and supplies, as well as Petco Dog Training and Petco Grooming! For donations designated for our vet bills, we are giving away chances in our raffle. One chance is a $1.00 donation, or you can get six chances for every $5.00 donation. We will have raffle tickets available at our adoption events. The raffle drawing will be held on December 17th at 4PM at the Lafayette Petco.
