We Stand with Texas

Our deepest sympathies are with the people and communities of Central Texas facing devastating loss from the recent flooding. At North Shore Animal League America, we join the nation in mourning this tragedy and extend our heartfelt support to everyone affected. Alongside the human suffering, we also recognize the urgent and growing needs of animals impacted by this disaster. We are actively monitoring the situation and stand ready to assist our shelter and rescue partners as needed, both now and in the long term aftermath. To everyone impacted by this crisis: you are in our hearts. We are committed to doing our part as recovery efforts continue.

Sweet July

It’s finally summer, with a capital S! We’ve already had a severe heatwave, the roses are in full bloom, the beaches are crowded, and I agree with my resident kitties, Helen Rose and Miss Petunia: there’s nothing sweeter than a relaxing “airing-out” on a summer afternoon! My cats are among the lucky ones, and so am I. We live in comfort with air conditioning and clean, fresh water. But of course, I’m always thinking about those less fortunate. Homeless animals struggle terribly in the sweltering heat, but there are ways we can make a lifesaving difference for the stray cats in our community.

Heat stroke in pets can occur quickly and can lead to serious consequences if not promptly recognized and treated. It's important to know the signs that your pet is in distress and how to help them quickly.

No Distance Too Far to Save Lives

The smoke has cleared in California, but sadly, the animal shelters have not. Months after devastating wildfires displaced thousands, shelters in Riverside County remain dangerously overcrowded. With space running out, the risk of euthanasia was becoming a heartbreaking reality. North Shore Animal League America couldn’t let that happen.

Not the musical. Not the movie. THE BLOG!

Because June is National Adopt a Cat Month, I’m devoting this entire blog to cats — not kittens, but adult cats — and why they make the best, most appreciative, charming, funny, and loving pets in the world. So, get ready to meet some fantastic felines who are waiting for homes, now and forever!

Breaking Barriers and Building Bonds

When we visited The Viscardi Center in Albertson, NY, we found more than just a school — we found partners who share our mission of fostering hope and resilience. The Center was founded by Dr. Henry Viscardi Jr., who was born without legs and became a pioneering advocate for people with disabilities. Today, the Center continues to be rooted in the belief that obstacles are not roadblocks, but opportunities to reimagine what is possible.
