Animal Friends counts on donations to survive. As the summer months are before us and people are on vacation, donations really drop off. Please remember us during the summer so we can continue to provide for the many animals in our care. Please donate!
We have an immediate need for a foster home for a mother and kittens. They are living in a dangerous environment near a park in Hartford. They are at the Vets now being checked out. We have no available foster for them. Please call 860-693-0303 or 860-827-0381 for more info.
When these young cats arrived they were almost feral, but through constant interaction with the volunteers they are improving. They are now comfortable with the volunteers, but still afraid of strangers. If you are interested in any and want to give them time to get to know you we would be happy to arrange visits where you could just sit and get to know them. You are welcomed to come as many times as necessary so they and you are comfortable together.
Want to help spread the word about the need to find homes for these cat? You can help by making copies of the poster (click here to print)and distribute them to your veterinarian, supermarket bulletin boards, and any other places that allow postings from the community. Also, please ask your veterinarian to include AFOC on their list of suggested shelters when people contact them looking for a new pet. Thank you!!

This is what can happen when people list pets as free to a good home.
Quote from a dog fighter
“The hardest thing is to get enough dogs and cats for baiting. One good source is the local newspaper that offer a cat or dog for free. My wife dresses up neatly and collects them for me. If that source is running dry we just hire local gang kids to fetch dogs and cats. They scour the backyards and alleys and take whatever number we need. They make sure they leave the doors or gates open so people just believe they accidentally left them unlatched and that’s how their animals got out and got lost.
We are in need of a donated car in good running condition. It will help us transport our residents to and from the Vet. Many of our residents are in their senior years and need more constant Vet care.
