We have re-dedicated this section of "The Daily Mews" to Pet's Rights causes and concerns.  So many causes, so little time.  Please take some time to visit our Tributes page and Lorraine's page (we have kept Lorraine's page active, even though we believe she has gone to the Rainbow Bridge).   North Shore Animal League You may have heard about Scarllet, the cat who pulled her five wee kittens from a burning building?  Well Scarllet and her kittens were taken to the North Shore Animal League who cared for them and eventually found them all good homes.  Founded in 1944, the North Shore Animal League is a "no-kill" Adoption agency for abandoned and homeless pets.  The North Shore Animal League is a non-profit humane organization supported 100% by voluntary donations from people like us.  They are dedicated to finding the best possible homes for each pet, even those who are blind, deaf or otherwise disabled. I have provided some meager financial support to them for a number of years and suggest you consider doing the same.  At the very least, find a "no-kill" shelter near you and support them.  North Shore has a neat program where you can "sponsor a kitty or dog" whose chances of finding someone to adopt them is slim.  The funds will help North Shore  care for these animals.      Animal Abuse Prevention Agency, Inc. "Dedicated to: The memory of all the animals who were caged, hunted, beaten, tortured, starved, chained, exploited, or simply ignored.  We love them all - but sadly, they never knew it!" This statement appears when you first enter the AAPA.  They are a non-profit organization taking a pro-active approach in preventing cruelty to animals.  Their services include educating pet owners on the dangers of giving their animals away by using "free to good home ads".   They also do pet adoptions, rescue, provide vet services, work for the enforcement of animal rights, and provide temporary care for pets without a home. Pay their site a visit.  PAAAW (People Against Animal Abuse World-Wide.)  An online organization dedicated to fighting animal abuse.  Unlike some of the more extreme groups, PAAAW doesn't believe in fighting one form of violence with another.  They believe that education and awareness are some of the most powerful tools in the war against abuse of any kind.   Sponsored by Trueparadox.com Visit the Blessing of the Animals - St. Francis of Assisi Don't forget to visit the CLAW pages and our Shelter Support Page!
