AnimaLovers of Albany, NY (The Animal Welfare League of the Greater Capital District, Inc.)

AnimaLovers was founded in 1995 by a small group of friends who wanted to provide needy cats and dogs in the Capital District of New York with a better way to find their way to safety and new lives. As of 2011, AnimaLovers is serving cats, only. AnimaLovers's mission is to: * To provide housing, veterinary care, and adoption for unwanted, abandoned, injured, or stray cats; * To educate adopters, as well as the general public, about the health and training needs of our companion animals; * To promote spaying and neutering as an efficient and humane means of animal population control; and * To advocate for legislation that will prevent cruelty to animals. In addition, AnimaLovers has expanded beyond the boundaries of cat and dog rescue and adoption to meet the needs of other animals as well by creating programs to help families keep their companion animals healthy by providing low-cost spay/neuter services and emergency veterinary care.
