Animal Care Center of St. John

4 hours ago

The Animal Care Center (ACC) is asking our community to help us through a particularly challenging summer. Your support right now will make a direct difference in the lives of the dogs and cats who depend on us.

Along with our ongoing daily and weekly operating expenses, we are working to pay down medical costs for animals who have needed critical care since the beginning of summer. At the same time, our kennels are at capacity with new dogs who still need medical attention. Many will remain in our care into the fall, when cooler temperatures may allow us to transport them to partner shelters in the states.

Unfortunately, local adoptions are down, and finding foster homes has become increasingly difficult. Many people who would love to foster are unable to do so because of housing restrictions or because they already have a full house of their own.

We are also excited to announce that we will once again partner with Visiting Vets International to host a large-scale spay/neuter event for St. John’s free-roaming cats at the start of November. Over the past two years, these clinics have been incredibly successful, helping nearly 700 cats.

The event is completely free to the community, but the ACC needs to raise $40,000 to make it possible. We cover the veterinary teams’ lodging, meals, transportation, supplies, equipment, and the many other expenses required to bring this important service to St. John.

To help make this year’s clinic even more successful, the ACC recently purchased and shipped 50 new humane cat traps, a $6,000 investment in the long-term care and management of St. John’s free-roaming cat population. These traps will be used for years to come, and donations toward this expense would be greatly appreciated.

If you are able to donate, your support will help us continue providing medical care, shelter, spay/neuter services, and a safe second chance to the animals who need us most.

Every donation—large or small—helps. Together, we can get through this challenging summer and continue making a lasting difference for the animals of St. John.

Please consider making a donation today. Our animals are counting on us, and we are counting on you.
