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.
Clatsop Animal
Assistance
• 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.
Mission Statement:
• 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.
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.
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.
Most importantly, please consider adopting a dog
or cat from the shelter and spay or neuter
your pets.
