V & D Animal Care Society
The Vernon & District Animal Care Society is an all volunteer registered charity with approximately 100 members. We provide spay/neuter and emergency vet care financial assistance for low income pet owners and homeless animals. We also foster and rehabilitate abandoned cats and kittens and place them in responsible, loving homes. All our mature felines are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and tattooed prior to adoption, and our kitten adoption fee includes the total cost of spay/neuter surgery, basic vaccinations and tattoo. VDACS maintains a Lost & Found Cat Registry which is published weekly and updated daily by a dedicated volunteer who has reunited several missing felines with their families.
All our programs are funded through donations and local fundraising events organized by our members and supporters. In 2004 we invested almost $60,000 in spay/neuter and emergency vet care.
