About Cause For Critters

We are a non-profit animal

shelter in Drayton Valley, Alberta.

Since our inception in 2008, we have helped over 5,000 animals find new homes, reconnect with their owners, or with food and other supplies. Our goal is to provide the best possible care to our resident animals while they wait for their forever families.

How You Can Help!

There are so many things you can do to help our animals. 

Here are a few ways for anyone looking to make a difference!

Volunteer

We are always in need of help. Spending time with the animals is crucial to their emotional well-being, and it allows them to grow and gain confidence while they wait for their new families. You can volunteer with the animals directly or in other areas such as transport, at events, or with maintenance.

Cat volunteers must be 16 years or older. Dog volunteers must be 18 years or older. Children over the age of 5 are permitted to join as long as the shift is primarily done by the certified volunteer. Clear Criminal Record Checks must be provided for anyone over 18 years old. Training will be provided to each volunteer and must be completed before the first solo volunteer shift.

To volunteer, please come in during open hours or email us for the application!

Foster

Cause for Critters loves their foster families! Fostering a pet costs you nothing, but it means the world to the animals of our shelter. We are always in need of temporary homes for all kinds of animals.

Foster families will need to provide alteration records and up to date vaccination certificates for each pet in the home, supply a clear Criminal Record Checks for every individual over 18 years old, and allow CFC representatives to complete a home visit.

Donate

We accept monetary and supply donations. If you are looking to donate supplies for our animals, look at out for our Wednesday Plea Supply on Facebook or check out our Amazon Wish List! https://a.co/1hxeCX5

Donations are accepted in all forms: cash, cheque, card, and e-transfer to causeforcrittersdv@gmail.com. All donations over $50 are eligible for a tax receipt. (Must be requested)

Special Events

Cause for Critters loves community events! In the past, we have hosted events such as Santa Paws, Raise The Woof, paint nights, cat yoga, and annual adoption events. Reach out to us if you are interested in partnering with our shelter for fundraising events.
