Mid Hudson Animal Aid is a dedicated no-kill cat sanctuary providing a compassionate, safe haven for abandoned and abused felines in the Hudson Valley and beyond. We believe every cat deserves a chance to thrive while awaiting their forever home.
Founded in 1979, our journey began with the selfless efforts of Ruth Valenti and Essie Dabrusin to rescue cats in need. Today, we continue this vital legacy as the Mid Hudson Animal Aid Essie Dabrusin Cat Sanctuary, committed to responsible pet ownership and curbing animal overpopulation through community support.
We pride ourselves on our unique, mostly cageless, free-range environment that allows our feline residents to relax and socialize. Our facility includes specialized spaces like the Great Room, screened-in porches, and quiet areas for cats with unique medical or personality needs, ensuring every resident receives top-notch, individualized care.
Adopting a cat is a deeply rewarding partnership that saves a life and brings joy to your home. We are committed to placing our animals in loving homes where they receive the chin rubs, veterinary care, and affection they deserve. Our team works hard to make the adoption process simple, transparent, and supportive for both you and your new companion.
Whether you are ready to adopt, interested in volunteering, or want to support our mission through a donation or our wish lists, we would love to connect with you.
