Caring for a rescue animal isn’t free. It costs NCAL an average of $250 to vet and prepare each animal for adoption—and for pets needing extra medical care, the cost is even higher.

🚑 Your donations help provide:
✔ Vaccines & health checks
✔ Spay/neuter surgeries
✔ Food, shelter & enrichment
✔ Emergency medical care for neglected animals

Every dollar makes a difference. Can you chip in today to help us continue our life-saving work?

Kratos isn't sure why he's the last one at NCAL from his litter. He's a good boy too! He's a super smart, fun, and eager to please. He deserves better than spending his best days of puppyhood in a shelter. (Even though we love him) He needs and deserves a home to grow up in. Is that home yours? Want to help a dog who was born here in Vermont looking for his chance at love? Fill out an application to meet Kratos today. https://bit.ly/NCALKratos

Did you choose your pet, or did they choose you? 🐾❤️

Sometimes, an adoption moment is love at first sight. Other times, a pet has a way of making it clear that they belong with you!

Did you know that just one unspayed female cat and her offspring can produce over 370,000 kittens in seven years? 🐱💔 The impact of spay/neuter programs is massive—just ask Luna!

Luna came to NCAL as a stray, pregnant and struggling. Thanks to our spay/neuter program, she safely delivered her kittens, who all found loving homes. And now, Luna gets to enjoy a carefree, healthy life—no more unexpected litters or health risks.

Spaying and neutering prevents overcrowding in shelters, reduces pet homelessness, and even improves pets' health and behavior.

al love. 🐶🐱💙
Maybe your dog has taught you patience (especially when they take forever to find the perfect bathroom spot). Maybe your cat has shown you the value of independence (and the art of napping anywhere). Or maybe your rescue pet has reminded you what resilience and second chances truly mean.

💬 Tell us in the comments: What’s the biggest lesson your pet has taught you? We’d love to hear your stories! 🐾✨

📸 Bonus: Drop a photo of your wise, furry teacher!
