Mission: Shelter Animal Resource Alliance (S. A. R. A. ) is a nonprofit organization located in Eugene, OR, dedicated to removing animals from shelters where they might otherwise face euthanasia. While in our care, we provide these cats and dogs with a comfortable environment to live in, all necessary medical care, high-quality food and treats, and plenty of love and attention until we are able to find them their forever homes.
Results: Since 2001, S. A. R. A. has rescued nearly 800 cats and 970 dogs who would have faced euthanasia in local shelters. We regularly have between 20 and 40 'resident' cats available for adoption at S. A. R. A. 's Treasures. New animals are made available for adoption after they have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, tested for common feline diseases, given a health check, treated for any parasites, and socialized with people and other animals. Additionally, any cat adopted from S. A. R. A. is always accepted back into our program if their owners are no longer able to care for him or her, ensuring that that cat will not have to be placed back into a shelter environment. S. A. R. A. collects pet food and supplies to distribute to other groups and caretakers in need and sponsors spay/neuter surgeries when financially able.
