My Nonprofit Reviews

Halfway Home Pet Rescue is a small pet rescue that specializes in the rescue and rehabilitation of stray, abandoned and abused cats in Caribou, Maine and its surrounding communities. What is unique about this organization is that it is effectively run with volunteers including the rescue and daily cleaning of about 35 to 45 needy cats every day. They do not take any taxpayer money, but instead do constant fundraising to pay for the Leukemia/AIDS testing, spay/neuter, vaccinations, worming, all medical needs from injuries, and parasite prevention treatment. In addition, these dedicated volunteer occur the unusual additional care of the trap/neuter/relocate of feral colonies. Caribou is often on the national news as the coldest spot in the U.S. In addtion to caring for the feral colonies, the volunteers build insulated shelters for colonies living without shelter. In addition, to all of this, the volunteers have also organized a free pet food pantry and monthly sort donated food boxes for shut-ins, disabled, elderly and low-income families so that their beloved pet will not have to be turned in a shelter while the family faces a difficult time. All of these volunteers are heros. Most work at full-time jobs but find time to help at the shelter every week. I am proud to be a board member and a full-time volunteer for Halfway Home Pet Rescue.
