4.Cat Welfare Society (CWS)
CWS was formed in July 1999 by a group of friends who got together to help community cats and kittens after being outraged by a newspaper report about 5 kittens being burned alive in a box. In 1999, a culling of more than 13,000 cats happened in a bid to control the stray population.
That equated to an average of 35 cats killed every single day. CWS set about to reduce this number with the aim of eliminating it entirely. Their tireless campaigning over the years against the inhumane culling of cats has resulted in a record low of less than 1000 cats put down since 2015.

Since House Rabbit Society was founded in 1988, over 40,000 rabbits are rescued through House Rabbit Society chapters across the United States.
Many of these bunnies had run out of time at animal shelters and were scheduled for euthanasia; others had been deemed “unadoptable” because of age, health, or disposition.
HRS is able to spend time getting to know individual bunnies and can then match them with an appropriate home. We neuter all incoming rabbits, obtain any necessary veterinary care, and attend to their social needs.
