CARA -- Community Animal Rescue & Adoption, Inc., is a True No Kill animal shelter located in Jackson, MS, that cares for an average of 300 dogs and 120 cats daily. We do not receive any funding from the city, county, state or federal government and operate exclusively through the generosity of our community by private donations from individuals, businesses, & fundraising events. Our primary goals are to place our adoptable pets in loving, caring homes and to educate the public on responsible pet ownership including why spay/neuter is so important. Please donate to our cause and volunteer as we strive to better the lives of pets in Mississippi. For Shelter hours and complete contact information please click here.

Abbi Mims requested for her 7'th birthday that her friends not buy her presents, but instead make a donation to the shelter babies at CARA. We were all floored by the donations she brought. This little girl's heart is absolutely beautiful! |
Be part of the solution for no more homeless animals by having your pet spayed or neutered.

| Meet sweet Wilson...Wilson's mom decided that she didn't have time for Wilson, between her job and other things. And according to her, he just couldn't understand. So, to CARA he came. Well, guess what, Wilson? Your new mom has nothing but time for you, little man!! Wilson hit it big when he was introduced to Laureen Hunter! As you can clearly see by his new mom's great big smile, she simply adores him! All things happen for a reason, Wilson and I'm pretty sure you now know what the reason was. We sure do. Thank you so much Laureen Hunter, for choosing our little guy and committing to always putting his needs at the top of your list. We feel sure that you two will share many wonderful years and make many great memories together. Cherish every minute of your incredible new life, little guy! Click to read other Happy Tails! |
This is Klivan, happy as can be in the arms of his new family! Dai Flynt and family have made our Klivan feel like the luckiest cat on the planet! Klivan came to the shelter with 3 other cats. Two women walked in with 4 carriers, set them down and took off. Five year old Klivan is a very special cat in more ways than one, in that he has 7 toes. Peggy, our cattery manager, fell in love with him immediately. Klivan is a calm, big fat lap cat. We are so glad that this family came in and met Klivan. He is now living a dream. Thank you Flynt family for giving our boy a forever home! Klivan, Peggy wants you to know that she misses you already, but she is so incredibly happy for you, as we all are. Enjoy your wonderful life, sweet boy! |
