Community Cats Shopping List

Nearly three-fourths of the cats entering U.S. shelters each year are killed. Many of them are community cats (aka stray or feral cats). With help from community cat caregivers and trap-neuter-return (TNR) groups, these free-roaming cats are able to stay out of the shelter system and live happy, healthy lives.

Be our Best Friend

Best Friends Animal Society is working with you to save the lives of cats and dogs all across the country, giving pets second chances and happy homes.

Just a few short years ago, cats and dogs were killed in staggering numbers in this country simply because shelters didn't have the community support or the resources to save their lives. That number is now less that half a million per year, but there's still work to do to ensure a bright future for every dog and cat in America.

Best Friends operates the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals and is committed to saving the lives of homeless pets by working with shelters and passionate people like you. Together, we will bring the whole country to no-kill in 2025. Together, we will Save Them All.
