Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Animal Protection & Welfare, Animal Training, Animals

Mission: Our mission is simple: Create compassion for all animals. Compassion is a deep awareness of the suffering of another, accompanied by the desire to relieve it. We want to shift paradigms to create awareness and help educate humans on their bonds with animals. By shifting preconceived notions on what humans believe to be “normal” we want to achieve unity. We are not above nature but simple a part of it, a family. Shifting paradigms cannot be done alone, it is done with a community, which share common passions and become greater educators to other communities. As a whole we need to cross the species borders and create interconnected species. Animals do matter, and we cannot forget that.

As a Founder and Executive Director of a small Caribbean based animal rescue NGO, I understand the importance of networking with other international animal welfare organisations. In 2014, Compassion for Animals Founder, Michelle Ellena visited the island of Nevis and spent time at our rescue shelter. That was the beginning of an enduring friendship and led to a collaboration on a major fundraising initiative. Networking between animal welfare groups is crucial to raise the profile of some of the smaller, struggling rescue groups with limited resources. Sharing knowledge, different experiences and skills is invaluable to us all and results in increased benefits for the animals and the communities in which we all work. Compassion for Animals has a global outlook while maintaining neighbourhood sensibilities wrapped together with the always ready offer of a helping hand.

As a veterinarian it is important to know that there are people who seek to make these programs sustainable: training of veterinarians in sterilization techniques (population control), education to the population and the effective management of public policies, according to international organizations are the cornerstones to solve the problem of canine and feline overpopulation. I had the experience to participate in one of the programs and I am proud of the results. Congratulations to the organizers, volunteers and vets who, as me, dedicate theirs lifes to public health by understanding the concept of a single health.

Compassion for Animals is doing powerful work to fill a great void in the animal welfare space for the devloped and developing world.

Not only do they support animal welfare through great programs like mobile spay and neuter clinics for areas lacking access, these programs also support the welfare of the humans who live alongside these animals.

Compassion 4 animals is changing the game. From my experience as a leading entrepreneur what I see the C4A team doing is marrying the best of socially conscious educational & inspirational programming with the best practices of modern social enterprises meant to grow the cause not just operate it. In 2016, the planet we share as humans and animal species is both massive and incredibly small and the sorts of healthy loving cohabitation that C4A teaches young people and adults alike is instrumental to a future in which we respectfully coexist and return some sustainable balance to our earth. C4A is changing the conversation and deserves your active help!

Compassion for Animals is a great organization that not only does good for the animals but also supports the community as a whole. I always enjoy volunteering for them and helping out a great cause. They always have different opportunities for you to participate in whether you are looking to support the animals or develop leadership skills. If you are looking for an organization to volunteer/donate/be a part of, Compassion for Animals would be a great team to join.

Compassion for Animals is a great way to give animal overs everywhere an opportunity to get involved with creating a safer, more conscientious world for our animal neighbors through volunteer opportunities, events, and donations. Discover events concerning things that matter to you, find where/how/why to adopt an animal instead of shop, and get hands on with actually helping animals' lives. Compassion for Animals gives every day access to this information, and continues to add more continuously. Help make a difference with Compassion for Animals!

Compassion for Animals is a small non profit which punches w-a-a-ay above its weight. Rather than focusing exclusively on animals in a narrow localized home area, CFA also reaches out to foreign non profits across the globe. From news reports on Channel 10, San Diego fighting against Craig's List abusers of dogs, to filming Lost Dogs in Chile, to assisting with a fundraising campaign on the Caribbean island of Nevis with CARE Nevis, Compassion for Animals speaks out for animals everywhere. CFA challenges existing paradigms in the human- animal bond, prompting us to dig deeper into our souls to recognize our responsibilities towards the other animals on our planet which we must cherish and protect.
