Ways To Help

Kids that care

Thanking the many schools, Boy Scout and Girl Scout Troops, and individuals that make such great efforts for us and collect donations! Please take a look at some amazing kids. If you are under 18 years old and looking for other ways to help the shelter, please click here for some ideas.

Wish list

We always have a long shopping list at the Shelter! Donated items can be dropped off at the shelter located at 440R East Squantum Street in Quincy during adoption hours and left with any of our Volunteers. They can also be shipped directly to us from Amazon. Check out our wish list!

Foster

We always try to foster kittens out/away from the shelter. We are always looking for Foster Care Volunteers. It is usually a 5 to 8 week period. We provide food, litter, and medical care. We also take care of the adoptions. All you need is a separate area from your own animals and some TLC.

Volunteer

Volunteers are the backbone of our efforts to improve the lives of the animals in our care. You can also become a guardian angel and sponsor a cage or kennel at the shelter. You can become a member of QAS or help out with one of our available positions at QAS.
