Catalina Island Humane Society is located in the town of Avalon, on beautiful Santa Catalina Island, which is off the coast of Southern California.
Even Catalina Island residents may not realize that our Humane Society acts as the primary animal advocate for the community of Avalon, and does so with extremely limited funding. We currently have only one part-time employee, and rely heavily on the efforts of our tireless volunteers and the donations we receive.
Most cities and counties on the mainland receive significant government funding to stem the tide of homeless animals and enforce humane treatment. The Catalin Island Humane Society receives no county funding for our programs, though the City of Avalon often makes an annual grant of $10,000 to support our Trap, Neuter and Release programs. 100% of those funds have been used to continue the Humane Society's important work in sterilizing animals.
We also receive dozens of calls each month for information on a variety of subjects related to injured animals (domestic and wild), as well as services we may be able to provide. Adoptions are our favorite activity and we encourage your visit to find your feline mate.
Make a difference in the quality of the care of all of the Island's animals by getting involved in whatever way you can!
