Clatsop Animal
Assistance
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
• CAA volunteers work hard to improve the quality of life for the shelter
animals, most directly by assisting the Animal Shelter, which has limited
resources with which to deal with strays and unwanted pets within Clatsop
County.
• CAA pays for veterinary care as well as antibiotics and other critical medicines that aren’t covered in the
shelter’s budget. CAA also pays a portion of the spay/neuter fees for animals adopted out of the shelter.
• CAA purchases cat litter and other supplies, and pays for grooming costs not covered by the shelter’s
budget.
• CAA supports the shelter’s adoption program, sponsoring promotional ads and holding adoption events.
• CAA maintains an adoption booth at Astoria’s Sunday Market every other week from May through part
of September every year.
• CAA is committed to reducing pet overpopulation: we support spay/neuter programs financially and
work to educate the public on the importance of spaying or neutering their pets.
• Additionally, many of our members volunteer at the shelter, walking dogs, socializing with the cats, and
helping with administrative duties.
FUNDRAISING EVENTS
Our main fundraiser is our annual silent auction and bake sale,
held the second Saturday of December each year. The event
includes pet pictures with Santa, raffles and a silent auction with
items donated by organizations and individuals, and a bake sale
with donated baked goods and ingredients. Throughout the year
we have smaller fundraisers such as raffles or online campaigns tied
to veterinary care for individual animals, and fundraisers combined
with adoption events.
CORPORATE GIVING OPPORTUNITIES/SPONSORSHIPS
We welcome all corporate giving, including cash and in-kind
donations of items needed for the shelter. CAA receives terrific
ongoing support from organizations and individuals. In fact, many
of our fundraising events are conceived, planned, and sponsored by
area businesses. Our silent auction and raffle items are all donated
by businesses, other organizations, and individuals, and our bake
sale is sponsored by a combination of businesses and individuals.
DONATIONS
We accept cash donations as well as in-kind donations of items
needed for the shelter. You can donate by check or cash or online
through PayPal from either our Website or our Facebook page.
You can also set up recurring, automatic gifts through PayPal or
your workplace. Many people make gifts in honor or memory of
individuals or pets.
Many companies will match an employee’s donations. It’s a
good idea to check with your employer to see if a matching
program is offered.
VOLUNTEER
CAA is always looking for new volunteers,
both to work hands-on with the shelter animals
and with our adoption outreach and with
fundraising efforts. Our volunteers walk and
bathe dogs, socialize with the cats, introduce the
dogs and cats to potential adopters, transport
animals to and from veterinary offices, and help
with general administrative duties at the shelter.
Volunteers also participate in adoption
outreach events by taking the shelter dogs and
cats out into the community for special adoption
events and one-on-one outings. We feature an
adoptable dog or cat at our Sunday Market
booth every other week during the summer.

Mission Statement:
Clatsop Animal Assistance
(CAA)
is a 501(c) 3 all-volunteer
organization dedicated to helping
the Clatsop County Animal
Shelter’s homeless pets. We
support these animals by providing
funds to pay for veterinary care,
spay/neuter fees, medicines, cat
litter, grooming, specialty-diet
foods, and other supplies not
covered by the shelter budget. We
promote the shelter animals by
providing advertising and
promotional materials and by
sponsoring adoption events. CAA
helps turn hardship and suffering
into happy endings, sending a
message of compassion and caring
for animals out into the
community.
Most importantly, please consider adopting a
dog or cat from the shelter and spay or neuter your
pets.
