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.

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 are currently in need of several items. If you would like to donate them, you may do so at the Lafayette Petco on Louisiana Avenue, or at the Bridge Storage on Ambassador Caffery.

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!
