Auburn Valley Humane Society - Cat Cafe
Our Mission
At Auburn Valley Humane Society, we are dedicated to enriching the lives of companion animals and people through animal sheltering, innovative programs, and deep community engagement. Our vision is to serve as a model of excellence in the advancement of animal welfare, ensuring every pet finds a path to a happy life.
Our Journey
Founded in 2013 by a collaborative group of local veterinarians, city officials, and passionate citizens, we were born from a community need for an independent, high-standard local animal shelter. We believe in being a community education center where pets and people come together, fostering a network of regional support that keeps our pets and families connected.
How We Care
We operate as a local, independent 501(c)3 non-profit that relies on the generosity of our supporters, pet licensing fees, and our dedicated team of staff and volunteers to sustain our operations. By merging with the Northwest Spay & Neuter Center in 2021, we have expanded our capacity to provide essential services—ranging from high-quality medical care to community outreach and pet food pantry support—to ensure pets remain healthy and in their homes whenever possible.
Your Partner in Adoption
Adoption is a joyful partnership, and we are committed to finding a loving home for every healthy, adoptable animal in our care. We focus on transparency and education, helping you understand the unique personality, history, and needs of your future companion so that you can make the best decision for your family and your new furry friend.

We invite you to experience the difference for yourself. Whether you are searching for a new best friend, looking to volunteer your time, or interested in supporting our life-affirming programs, there are countless ways to get involved.
