The ASPCA was founded in 1866 as the first humane organization in the Western Hemisphere. The Society was formed to alleviate the injustices animals faced then, and they continue to battle cruelty today. Whether it’s saving a pet who has been accidentally poisoned, fighting to pass humane laws, rescuing animals from abuse or sharing resources with shelters across the country, they work toward the day in which no animal will live in pain or fear.
I had some trouble sleeping last night, so I slapped this piece together.
Become a member of the ASPCA, or go to one of their animal shelters and find a cat or dog who needs a good home.
Several years ago I adopted a nine-year-old tiger cat named Manhattan, and I love her with all my heart.
