Who We Are
Mission Statement:
Our mission is to save the lives of domestic cats and kittens living on our streets who are not skilled or conditioned to survive the perils faced by street cats.
Our Goal Is To:
- Reduce the cat overpopulation problem in our community through spay/neuter and related programs
- Ensure that the welfare of cats continually improves
- Provide resources to assist animal rescues to continue their work in saving lives
- Promote cat care and responsibility to our community
- Build a safe haven for cats
Our History
PALnv was formed in October 1993 by a small group of people who were concerned about the well being of unwanted animals. On February 4, 1994 the State of California and the Federal Government granted PALNV their non-profit status. From our inception until the spring of 2011, PALNV took in over 15,000 unwanted or abandoned animals, had them spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and adopted.
When Robert Lowry, a local resident of Wrightwood, CA passed away, he left his estate to 3 charities and PAL was named as one of the recipients. We were thrilled that Mr. Lowry felt us worthy of sharing his legacy. Part of the donation PALNV received was a house in Wrightwood. In September of 2011, PALNV relocated their office to the house and continue to operate their California programs from there.
On April 4, 2014, the State of Nevada granted PALnv their Foreign Qualification status to transact business in the state. PALNV moved the non-profit to Las Vegas in May 2014 and is now operating their Cat Adoption Program and Rescued Treasures Cat Café to help get our community cats off the streets and out of the shelters. PALnv is also partnering with local businesses and rescue groups to fulfill their mission.
What We Do
Overview:
Pawsitively Seniors Program is a Joint Partnership between PALnv and its approved partners.
Project Description:
Pawsitively Seniors is designed for low-income seniors whose quality of life would be enhanced as a result of the many positive effects of pet ownership. By matching senior or special needs cats with senior people this program is a mutual benefit for all.
Low-income seniors are defined as 60 and over with an income of $1,800 per month or less.
Senior cats are defined as 8 years and older, who have been spayed/neutered and are current on vaccinations with general good health. Special needs cats are those who have manageable behavioral or medical issues.
The Pawsitively Seniors program includes:
· Free food and litter delivered on a regular schedule, if needed
· Free medical care from a program approved veterinarian, including prescribed medication
· Free transportation to and from a participating Vet
· Monthly visits from PALnv to check on the cat and senior
