When disaster strikes, our pets need a lifeline. Join us on June 13th to raise hope and a second chance for our communities' pets impacted by wildfires, floods, or whatever disaster may occur in our Central Valley.

🎟️ Every ticket goes toward helping to evacuate, provide emergency sheltering, caring for animals sheltered-in-place in evacuated zones, and helping to locate lost pets to reunite them with their humans.

Be their hero. Buy your ticket today. 💛. https://bit.ly/FLMTicketsSales They are depending on us!

VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION WEEK. This week, CCADT honors the hearts behind the scenes during disasters — our incredible volunteers. Whether they are boots-on-the -ground helping with evacuations, emergency pet sheltering, educating the public on disaster planning, fundraising, or helping with paperwork - their impact is immeasurable.

To every CCADT volunteer who’s stepped into the chaos and said, “I’ll help,”—THANK YOU! Because of you, hope has a heartbeat. 🐾 - Naomi Tobias, CCADT CEO

This Easter, whether you're with loved ones or enjoying some quiet time, we wish you peace, renewal, and hope for brighter days ahead.

🐾 PET SAFETY TIPS: Easter is a time for family, joy, and celebration—but for our pets, it can quietly become a time of danger. Protect your pets while enjoying family time. If you are in doubt of something your pet may have ingested, call your local emergency pet hospital.

Another great reference guide for pet safety is the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center. Call their hotline at 1-888-426-4435 any hour of the day or night, and any day of the year including weekends and holidays.

❤️ This Easter, let’s keep the celebration joyful for every family member — even the four-legged ones. Because nothing says love like keeping them safe. 🐾

This week is National Animal Control Officer Appreciation Week!

We’re sending a huge thank you to the dedicated Animal Control Officers who work tirelessly to protect animals and keep our communities safe. Your compassion, courage, and commitment don’t go unnoticed.

Whether responding to emergencies, reuniting pets with families, or educating the public, you are true everyday heroes.

Thank you for all that you do!

Our pets are more than companions — they’re family. They bring comfort, joy, and unconditional love every day.

This National Pet Day, take a moment to make sure your pet is part of your emergency plan. A little preparation today can make all the difference tomorrow.

Plus, post a favorite photo of your fur-babies!

Visit CCADT.org for resources to help you get started. Because love means being ready.

April is Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month. At Central CA Animal Disaster Team, we stand firm: Animal cruelty has no place in our communities. 💔

While our primary mission is helping animals during disasters, we will also assist in animal cruelty cases—when requested by local Animal Control agencies. Every animal deserves safety, care, and protection.

Let’s be the voice for those who can’t speak. If you see something, say something. 💬👀

Together, we can build a safer, kinder world for all animals. 💚

Throughout April, we’ll be sharing practical tips to help you safeguard your pets and support animal welfare in your community.

Visit CCADT.org to learn how preparedness can be a powerful form of prevention.

CCADT volunteers selflessly give their time to protect animals during disasters—and our commitment doesn’t stop there. When a need arises, we step up to support our community partners in meaningful ways. In February, our Kern County team reached into their own pockets to help purchase a ballistic vest for the Sheriff’s newest K-9 officer, Dino, ensuring he has an extra layer of protection on duty. We’re proud to support our law enforcement partners—whether they’re two-legged or four—whenever we can lend a hand.
