It’s been a tough year for lots of people, but also for dogs and cats who rely on the generosity of others. The number of pets in shelters increased during the housing crisis. That means that many rescues were stretched thin, and now is a very wonderful time of the year to give to your favorite animal charity. The gift doesn’t have to be large to make a difference.
One pet charity that particularly needs your help this year is Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association (VOKRA). They are a 100% volunteer and donation driven no-kill animal charity.
Due to a couple of huge and unexpected rescue operations in 2009 and the recession, VOKRA is facing the possibility of having to close their doors to rescues and discontinue other important animal work.
The group rescued more than 1,000 cats in 2009, and they also participate in TNR, as well as spays and neuters for cats belonging to low-income individuals and families. Visit VOKRA to donate.
