Ledyard CHAIN Inc

Ledyard CHAIN Inc Welcome to our page for the Ledyard Citizen’s Helping Animals In Need or C.H.A.I.N. We also have some community outreach programs.

We were established in late 2013 and became a 501(c)(3) non-profit charity in 2014. Our main focus is to fulfill the needs of our local shelter, the Ledyard Animal Control, by supplying anything the pets might need in the way of food, treats, beds, toys, and medical care. We have 4 funds that directly impact the Ledyard Animal Control, our Fixed 4 Life fund which covers the cost of spays and neute

rs for the shelter pets; our Emergency Medical Fund which pays for medical treatment for the shelter pets when it goes above and beyond what the shelter can afford; The Oliver Project which pays for the spays, neuters, and vaccinations as part of their TNR program; and our Pet Food Assistance Program that keeps them stocked with pet foods and treats. Our biggest is our Pet Food Assistance Program in which we supply food to our local food banks; other rescues and shelters that may reach out; and our community's pet owners who express a need. We also use our Fixed 4 Life Program to assist local pet owners by paying towards the cost of a spay or neuter for their pet to make the procedure a little easier to afford. In addition, we also have our C.H.A.I.N. Lost Pet Squad that assists residents search for their lost pets along with running the Ledyard Lost and Found Pets page on Facebook. It can be found at:

Throughout the year we have various fundraisers and collection drives to meet the needs of our projects and funds. Volunteers are always appreciated to help us in these endeavors. You can reach out to us on Facebook, by email, or by phone. For those unaware, we also have a group page. We do most of our conversing there so please join it also as it will keep you up to date on all we do. https://www.facebook.com/groups/ledyardchain/

I am writing on behalf of the Ledyard Animal Control. They have really been doing exceptional work behind the scenes this year, not with just their regular intakes, but also with hoarding and neglect cases that have required extra care, vet visits, special foods, and of course spaying and neutering. The toll this has taken on the funds available for the other pet’s needs has taken a hit.

That brings us to our current situation. I’m not sure how aware all of you are of the work the Ledyard Animal Control does with the feral cat colonies within Ledyard and Gales Ferry. Hundreds of cats have been spayed, neutered, and vaccinated over the years, making a tremendous impact on reducing the number of litters born. Because of the ACO’s hard work so many kittens have been saved, socialized, and adopted into loving homes, never having to face living in the wild like their parents. Many of you in our community may have actually adopted one of these kittens!!!

Right now, the LAC is working hard to address a colony of about a dozen feral cats in Ledyard. All will need to be spayed, neutered, and vaccinated and then returned to their current location where a caretaker will feed and offer them shelter. There is also a litter of 5 kittens they are hoping to be able to save from one mamma in this colony while they are still young enough to socialize. The goal is to get this completed before harsh weather hits and more kittens are born!

CHAIN normally gets vouchers from the state to help with their TNR efforts but the number of vouchers we have received the past 2 years has decreased significantly. Also, our Oliver Project fund, which addresses the feral cat needs for them is currently empty. So we are reaching out for the public’s help. You can give directly here or by any options below. Thank you for caring about these often overlooked animals. Any amount you can give makes a difference.

1. CHECKS AND CASH may be dropped off in person to the LAC office during business hours.

2. CREDIT CARD payments may be made directly to the vets office by calling All Friends Animal Hospital at 860-886-0125. Tell them the donation is for the Ledyard Animal Control’s “Autumn’s Fund.”

3. For tax deductable donations you can make a donation to Ledyard CHAIN’s “Oliver Project.” Funds donated will go to the LAC. Checks may be mailed to 2 Village Dr, Ledyard CT 06339. Please put Oliver Project in the memo. For donations you would like to make with cash or a credit card, please call 860-287-3504.

Whiskers in Wonderland 2023
Whiskers in Wonderland 2023

We are always happy to post about another successful Whiskers In Wonderland event. Thank you to our volunteers, the backbone of every event we have. It means so much to us that you support in the ways you do. Whether it is helping us set up or break down, working a table during the event, or taking photos. Your help is so appreciated and makes such a difference to the pets it helps. To the businesses and individuals who gave to our raffles, we so appreciate your support and I know the winners will LOVE their prizes. To those that gave to the pet food collection drive we so appreciate it all. And to all the adorable pets and kids that came to see Santa...just know you brought lots of smiles to a lot of faces. We had two rescues at our event this year and I think everyone loved seeing all of the dogs. They both had pups that found homes so that is wonderful news!! But, the meaning of the day is to help the Ledyard Animal Control's medical fund and I am always a bit in awe each year. This year between the Santa photos and the raffle tickets we were able to give to the medical fund for the shelter pets $1812. ALL OF YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!

This week is NATIONAL VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION WEEK!!! And goodness we sure do appreciate our volunteers!! If you helped us at one of our events, photo shoots, pet food collection drives, or holiday projects this is for you! To our Ledyard CHAIN Crafters, who spend hours making lovely goods so we can raise funds… take a bow! Giving of time is precious and we are thankful to each one who sacrifices an hour or a day to lend us a hand. It’s never glamorous and sometimes not a load of fun but you still show up. For all your efforts, you deserve more than we can give you here. But know we thank you and the animals who your efforts help thank you even more.

Another option for our “Show the Love Campaign” is CANDLES from Rescuewicks! "Rescuewicks candles and wax melts are hand poured in small batches in Pennsylvania using ethically sourced, chemical and cruelty-free ingredients. They provide a quality product that you can feel good about using in your home. Plus, every purchase helps save pets in need! 20% of your purchase is donated to animal rescue organizations.
