Our Mission is to:

         Rescue, Rehabilitate & Re-home

Ahimsa Haven was incorporated in 1999 as a nonprofit animal rescue group. Our mission is to find good homes for abused, abandoned, homeless and unwanted domestic animals. Ahimsa is a term from an eastern religion which means "To do no harm, in thought or deed, to any living creature." We are raising money to build a shelter in Winchendon, MA and to provide emergency medical care for animals in need, along with routine medical care for animals in our foster care program. Every penny we raise goes to the animals - no one gets a salary!

We are all volunteers and most of us have regular full time jobs. We ask that anyone interested in adopting one of our pets, fill out an application.  Then an appointment can be made to visit with the pets.

If you’re looking for a pet, have a pet you can no longer keep, have questions about low cost spay/neuter, need help with stray or feral cats please email us at marjorie@ahimsahaven.org. We may be able to help. If you would like to help the animals through fostering, volunteering, or a monetary donation, we’d love to hear from you as well!
