Pets Alive WNY is an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) animal rescue dedicated to saving the lives of stray, abandoned, and neglected animals throughout Western New York. Our mission is simple but powerful: we exist to rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home these animals into loving forever families.
Founded on the belief that Every Life Counts, Every Life Matters, we focus our efforts on Niagara and Northern Erie County, where the need is especially great. We are committed to promoting the health and safety of companion animals while providing community outreach to ensure proper animal stewardship.
As a small, volunteer-run rescue, we provide a safe, nurturing environment for over 100 cats and kittens at a time, ensuring they receive the medical care, nutrition, and daily support they need. We operate with deep transparency, relying entirely on the support of our community to maintain our high standards of care while our cats await their second chances.
What sets us apart is our deep commitment to thoughtful matchmaking. Because we take the time to truly know each cat's unique personality, quirks, and needs, we can ensure they find the right household for their energy level and temperament. By prioritizing these lasting bonds, we help ensure our rescues go home to stay forever.
If you are ready to welcome a new furry family member, we invite you to view our adoptable cats and submit an application today. You can also make a meaningful impact by volunteering, fostering, or attending one of our upcoming events. We genuinely could not do this without people like you—thank you for choosing to support rescue animals in our community!
