I have volunteered with AnimalKind since 1998. I started serving on the board in 2010. I've watched AnimalKind grow in response to the needs of the animal community. It wasn't long after AnimalKind started THE $20 Fix program that I noticed more and more people were familiar with AnimalKind and the importance of its mission. By providing targeted low-cost spay and neuter vouchers, THE $20 FIX directly started saving lives while at the same time indirectly educating the community in general and the rescue community in specific on the importance of preventing pet overpopulation before thousands of homeless pets end up in shelters facing euthanasia. I've seen the understanding and emphasis begin to shift from sheltering to addressing the issue at its origin. Other non-profits as well as municipal animal services now turn to AnimalKind to gain understanding and focus. I am proud of and grateful for the work of AnimalKind.
Review from Guidestar
I had become a volunteer for Animalkind but my emotions kept me from continuing. I would hold the depressed kitty's and cry into their fur. I wish that I were able to take them all home. No one else does what Animalkind does. They take in all abandoned and orphaned felines giving them all a second chance at life and love. Since I am unable to volunteer directly, I am able to give them donations of needed items as well as a monthly monetary donation. I did adopt an extremely lovable, now HUGE, black tabby named Avery. There was no fee for adoption and he had already been neutered and been given all of his vaccines. They are also tested for certain feline diseases and Avery was also microchipped. Everyone who loves cats as much as I do should give a donation to Animalkind to help with everything that they provide for these homeless sweethearts. I have 9 cats and all are from rescues. Open your hearts and give or adopt as many as you can take care of. You get so much love in return.
