Our Services

To promote the welfare of animals and keep families together, Concern for Animals (CFA) provides spay/neuter and medical care funding, pet food bank and rescue & adoption programs in the Thurston, Mason, and Lewis County area.

Low-Cost Spay & Neuter Procedures

Concern for Animals provides financial assistance to qualified pet owners that need to alter their pets but cannot afford the cost.  Low-cost spay/neuter procedures are available at local veterinary offices recommended by Concern for Animals. Funding to fix feral cats and dogs provides relief to communities -  reducing unwanted litters, animal overpopulation and overcrowding of animal shelters. Proof of low income, military, student or retirement status is required before authorizing veterinarian services in Lewis, Mason and Thurston counties. Please contact 360-456-8176 for more information about spay/neuter assistance.

Emergency Medical Care

Concern for Animals provides voucher assistance for emergency medical care.  Funding not available for routine office visits or pre-existing conditions.

Animal Food Bank

Concern for Animals offers a free, pet food bank for qualified pet owners.  Pet owners can call 360-456-8176 to request more information and make arrangements to pick up food on Monday afternoons at the food bank. CFA is a non-profit organization and our ability to fund the animal food bank is subject to generous donations from our community.  CFA has the right to decline food bank assistance based on pet owner's qualifications and supplies. We cannot guarantee pet food is available or that everyone qualifies.  In appropriate treatment to the CFA staff may result in termination of services. Thank you!   Click Here for our Food Bank Guidelines.

We are always seeking donations - dry and canned dog and cat food, cat litter, toys, treats, bedding, collars and leashes.  For locations to drop off donations, visit our Food Bank page.  You can also help by printing out our Food Bank Flyer and post on your office bulletin board!

Additional Procedures

Within the limitations of a set monthly budget, CFA follows these procedures:

• If we can help, we will connect you with one of our veterinarians/service providers.
• For all approved medical procedures, you pay a portion directly to the Veterinarian Clinic at your visit. The Veterinarian Clinic will bill us for our portion.
• It’s as easy as that!
