There is something that anyone can do to help rescue homeless
cats and dogs. Some volunteer their time to help with publicity
or at adoption shows, some donate supplies or money, and some contribute
by writing up or collecting pet care information. Here are some
ways that you can help.
DONATE
We rely on adoption fees and donations to pay for vet care for
all our rescued animals. Checks can be sent to CARA at
7305 Hopkins Avenue, College Park, MD 20740. You will receive
a receipt for tax purposes plus
licks and purrs from our pups
and kitties. We are an approved 501(c)3 charitable organization.
You can donate online using a credit card at our
Network for Good website.
VOLUNTEER
Do you have any special skills? Or maybe something you'd
like to try your hand at? We need people who can handle publicity,
fundraising, logistics, medicines, and writing as well as cat and dog
fostering and handling. Download our
Volunteer Agreement (PDF).
CHOOSE FROM OUR WISHLIST
As a new group we need lots of supplies and help. We have
lots of suggestions to choose from.
SPONSOR A CAT OR DOG
You can give a little or a lot to help provide medical
care for a particular rescued animal.
FOSTER A CAT OR DOG
Perhaps you have rescued a stray on your own, or
you are thinking about adding to your household but would like to
try it out before making that committment. Fostering is very
rewarding, from the love you receive from your foster cat or
dog, to seeing them placed in a great forever home.

SHOP ONLINE
If you purchase items online, you can help raise
money for CARA at the same time. Go to the iGive
portal and a percentage of anything you buy can be set aside for
CARA. Safe and easy!
SPAY AND NEUTER
Of course, we encourage everyone to spay and neuter
their pets. This is probably the most important thing that
every pet owner can do. We would love it if we "went out of
business" because there were no more unwanted pets to rescue!
So pass the word!
Please contact us - we look
forward to hearing from you.
