ca-r-ma.org-Cat Rescue Maritimes is a registered charity engaged in humanely reducing the population of unwanted free roaming cats & kittens. We operate TNR (trap-neuter-return) programs where colonies of these animals exist & remove adoptable animals..mostly kittens..from the colonies, foster them in private homes, alter them & place them in approved adoptive homes. As resources allow, we assist colony care givers in providing food & shelter for the feral cats in their care. Our future goals include education initiatives to change attitudes on the importance of spay/neutering & working with other animal support groups to bring about legislation for the benefit of all animals. ca-r-ma.org has no paid employees; it is run by entirely by volunteers & funded by donations. There are currently chapters in Antigonish, Deer Island, Fredericton, Halifax, Moncton, Pictou, Riverside-Albert, St Stephen, and Saint John. We are eager to welcome and support new chapters anywhere in the Maritimes.

PCFI is an all volunteer org dedicated to humanely containing our community's free-roaming cat population & improving their quality of life through our community sneuter programs. Operation CatSnips, our trap-neuter-vaccinate-return program for unowned, free-roaming cats, ensures these cats are sterilized, vaccinated for rabies, eartipped and released back to their home territory where they receive daily food and water and shelter. SNAP is our sneuter assistance program for cats of Port Colborne residents who qualify as low income. KitKat is our foster and socialization program for unowned kittens. Kittens are then adopted out through our partnership with WHS. Each time a cat is sneutered the birthrate is lowered by hundreds, resulting in fewer homeless cats and kittens and ending the vicious cycle of reproduction. Since June 2009 we have enrolled 801 cats in our programs. With your help we will continue to make a difference in the lives of our community cats!

Founded in 1981 in Seattle, WA, the Trust is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization whose mission is to protect the snow leopard and its mountain ecosystem through a balanced approach that addresses the needs of the local people and the environment. Snow leopards range over two million square kilometers of mountain in Central Asia, including the formidable Himalayas. Experts currently estimate as few as 3,500 exist in the wild, fewer than the world's tiger population. As an "umbrella" or keystone species, snow leopard conservation has far-reaching importance as it leads to the protection of hundreds of other plants and animals sharing the cat's ecosystem. The International Snow Leopard Trust is the oldest and largest organization focused solely on saving this important species. The Trust works nationally and internationally to raise awareness about endangered species, and to empower people living within snow leopard range to become stewards of their environment. To this end, the Trust conducts educational outreach, scientific research, and community-based conservation.

The Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife has a simple mission - to create parks and save species. In creating parks, we work with State and Federal governments to identify potential land purchases, and then assist with funds to acquire that land. We don't hold any land - we pass it straight over to the Government to add to the National Park portfolio and it is then managed by the state rangers. In saving species, we work extensively with volunteers, scientists, governments, local communities and other organisations to deliver community-based conservation projects and research nation-wide, including developing corridors for native animals, connecting disparate groups of species to allow them to survive and thrive. Partnership is at the very heart of our philosophy and is central to everything we do.

Countless dogs are without homes and in need of assistance. These are dogs who would make wonderful and faithful companions if only they could connect with the right person or family. We have made it our mission to help them do this. At the same time we hope to enrich the lives of those who adopt them. We strive to match our dogs' needs and personality to the preferences and requirements of each potential adopter. We believe this is a crucial component of the process and will help ensure a life-long relationship. Our primary focus is on small purebred or mixed breed dogs, although we do occasionally take in larger dogs. We have no central facility. Our dogs are placed in foster homes around the greater Seattle area where they receive socialization and training while they await adoption.

Since its founding in 1951 the Animal Welfare Institute (AWI) has sought to reduce the sum total of pain and fear inflicted on animals by people. In the organization's early years our particular emphasis was on the desperate needs of animals used for experimentation. In the decades that followed we expanded the scope of our work to address many other areas of animal suffering. Today one of our greatest areas of emphasis is cruel animal factories, which raise and slaughter pigs, cows, chickens and other animals. The biggest are in our country, and they are expanding worldwide. Specific goals are: --Abolishing factory farms and achieving humane slaughter for all animals raised for meat. --Improving the housing and handling of animals used for experimentation and pushing for the development of animal research alternatives. --Ending the use of steel-jaw leghold traps and reforming other cruel methods of controlling wildlife populations. --Preserving species threatened with extinction and protecting wildlife in international trade. --Enforcing strict regulation of transport conditions for all animals. --Encouraging animal-friendly science teaching and preventing painful experiments on animals by students.

The Humane Society of Saline County was founded on June 19, 1975, and received its charter from the state of Arkansas in August of that year.
