National Hug A Cat Day Is May 30th!

  In honor of National Hug a Cat Day, 50% off all cats over one year old on May 30. STOP IN TO OUR SHELTER AND GIVE ONE OF OUR CATS A GREAT BIG, FURRY HUG! Did you know that showing a furry friend some affection can actually reduce anxiety? In fact, it's proven that hugs from animals can lower a person's blood pressure and decrease stress. Dog lovers...sorry, but hugging your dog will not suffice. If you are going to be "into" this day, you simply must hug a cat...

Shine On

  Shine was brought to us by a good Samaritan. Shine was starving and has lost part of his eye sight from the lack of food.

Kuranda Dog Beds
In order to help as many animals as possible Kuranda has just introduced a new fundraising program. If you purchase a Kuranda bed or anything from the Kuranda website they will donate 10% of the sale back to WAHS! A new bed for your pooch and helping the rescue at the same time.
   
   
   
 
Donate a Bed

Our cats and dogs love to sleep on Kuranda beds, but we don't have enough for everyone. If you would like to donate a bed at a special wholesale price for another cat or dog to sleep in comfort, please donate a Kuranda cat or dog bed. (donations are in sets of two)

We need dedicated volunteers and your economic help
to continue to operate.
Every donation counts. See our Wish List.
