Support the Future of Animal Welfare
Your generosity allows us to continue our vital work in North-Central Pennsylvania. Every contribution, whether financial or material, goes directly toward supporting pet owners in need and prevents overpopulation of community cats.
Ways to Give Financial Donations
Your tax-deductible gifts support spay/ neuter surgeries and vaccinations for limited-income pet owners in Columbia and Montour Counties, as well as large scale TNR services (spay/neuter surgeries and vaccinations) for outside, homeless (community) cats in (now) 10 counties in North-Central Pennsylvania.
Material Gifts and Wish lists:
We maintain a list of essential supplies needed for both of our Spay/Neuter Programs, including humane (Have-A-Heart, “live” or box) traps, large dog crates with unbroken floor trays, recovery blankets, bowls, and other bedding,
and emergency dog and cat food. ALL DONATED EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES MUST BE CLEAN AND IN WORKING ORDER AND DONATED ANIMAL FOOD MUST NOT BE EXPIRED. To donate pet food or supplies, please email us
at pennsylvaniapetsinfo@gmail.com for more information on what items are needed most, and how to deliver donated items directly to our team.
