Animal Control
Found cats must not be dropped off at Ahimsa's shelter without prior approval! Should you come across a stray animal, dog or cat, it is a good idea to call your local Animal Control Officer to report the animal. They have the resources to deal with situations like these.

mid-state mobile veterinary clinic

Dr Michelle Bianco and Jackie Marble of Mid-State Mobile are a huge part of what makes us successful. They make weekly visits to PetSmart to check on our kitties to make sure they are in good health. They also come to the shelter when we are in need. Their dedication over the years has allowed Ahimsa Haven to succeed and it seems only right that we give them a hearty huzzah (and a plug - click on the link!).
