There are a number of ways to donate to the ARN !

Donate money, items for garage sales or cat shows, or items for the shelter. We receive no government funding and rely solely on donations to look after the animals in our care.

Donate your time through volunteering at our cat shelter. Help us with garage sales, adoption clinics, promotion or administration. Our organization is run entirely by volunteers and we can use your talents whatever they may be: cleaning, fundraising, public relations, driving, handy-person, photography, etc.

We always need the following materials to help us in our work at the shelter.
