"WE CATS CAN'T DO EVERYTHING! "

ROCKY SAYS WE ALWAYS NEED MORE VOLUNTEERS.



Rocky really did sit down on that chair at our front desk during one of his visits with his owner, a volunteer. No trick photography was needed.

The League for Animal Protection of Huntington, Inc. is a non-profit, all volunteer organization dedicated to the rescue and placement of stray and abandoned animals in the Town of Huntington.
Cats are housed in The Grateful Paw Cat Shelter staffed by volunteers. Volunteers from the League for Animal Protection also work with dogs housed at the Town of Huntington Animal Center.

SHELTER HOURS
The Grateful Paw Cat Shelter is open TUESDAYS through SUNDAYS, from 1:00 to 4:00 pm. Call 631-757-4517.

Remember, winthin the heart of every stray, lies the singular desire to be loved. So, take a look at our dear cats!

Hi! I'm SYLVESTER. I am such a mush and not ashamed to admit it. But I have to admit something else about me too. I need a home where I'll be the only cat because I have FIV. I love you humans so much, so could you please read my story, and them visit me at the shelter? You will fall in love. I promise.

DONATIONS

Because we are private, we always need money. You can specify a particular fund such as spay/neuter, medical, food etc. You can also help our spay/neuter program by buying our car magnets for $5. Please consider planned giving. Some of our biggest contributions have come through bequests.

SERVICES TO THE PUBLIC

1. Our volunteers answering the phone in the office can offer advice and/or additional phone numbers to assist you with cat issues. Our phone number at Grateful Paw is 631-757-4517.

2. We lend HUMANE TRAPS to private citizens wishing to trap feral cats. It is so very important that a feral cat be neutered/spayed and released back to its territory. (We can give you information about that, too). There is a $85 deposit for the trap, plus a $5 rental fee. The $85 will be refunded to you when the trap is returned, in two weeks, in working order. Additional weeks are $5 for every two weeks. Traps are limited, so there may be a waiting list.

3. Call us if you've either found a LOST CAT, or if you've lost your pet cat, and we will list the cat in our lost and found book. Call all the nearby shelters too.

4. For cruelty complaints, contact the Suffolk County SPCA. To help stop animal cruelty over the internet click here and report a web site!
