Almost Home Foundation is a nonprofit, all volunteer, no-kill cat & dog rescue funded solely by private donations. We have no paid employees. AHF is committed to reducing the number of homeless and unwanted companion animals through education programs, spay /neuter programs, and the responsible re-homing of dogs and cats through adoption programs. Almost Home Foundation relies on volunteers who dedicate their time, homes and hearts for our animals until permanent, loving homes can be found. Adoptable animals in our care will be kept as long as it takes to find a suitable home. AHF does not discriminate against animals based on age, breed, color of fur or physical disability. Our ultimate goal is to eliminate the need to ever have a healthy adoptable animal euthanized.

A popular belief about our shelter system is that those adorable, tiny kittens or stray unowned cats will be safe, taken care of and adopted out if taken to an animal shelter.. and unfortunately, that is not the case. In fact, most kittens under 8 weeks of age are euthanized upon intake or on the same day and the shelters do not have the ability to care for the amount of animals that end up in shelters. The Little Lion Foundation is trying to change that!
