Humane Society of South Brevard

HUMANE SOCIETY PROPERTY FLOODED Tropical Storm Fay brought its wrath to our shelter door--literally. Our creek flooded over, our pond flooded over,our basement and storage area was knee deep in storm waters, and water was spilling out of our garage. We also had leaks inside that forced us to take cats and kittens out of the back room and find a place for them in our very crowded front room area. As I write this, we are still trying to dry up our basement. The water poured through our walls, as well as up through the cement floors. We have had to rent very expensive equipment to extract the water,dry out the walls and use chemicals to get rid of the mold and mildew. Outside, the water is receding, but in its wake we are loaded with sand and debris in almost every part of our property. We desperately need volunteers who can help us clean up the outside. Sharon and Trish are exhausted from the massive amount of work they have had to do during the storm. Luckily, our beloved cats are safe. The Peacocks weathered the storm, and the raccoons are coming back from wherever they were hiding during the storm. We ask your help at this very difficult time. We need small bite dry dog food and cat food, wet cat food (Fancy Feast,Friskies and 9 lives), bird seed and cleaning supplies. Money is good too. We have PayPal on our website. www.brevard.petfinder.org e-mail: humanesocietysb@bellsouth.net Call Sharon at the shelter if you can help 321-259-0601 Thank you. Sibyl Aloe VP

GREAT NEWS !!! we will be opening a thrift store soon. We are looking for a GOOD location so if any of you know of one where there is a lot of foot traffic and parking please let us know.We also need good condition donations such as household items, books, clothes, furniture etc.to stock the store. At this time we can't accept anymore iems because until we can get the cottage cleaned up after the flood we have no place to put things. Hopefully it won't be too long. We will need shelving, a display case, cash register and a counter (or supplies to build one) and security cameras. As always we are accepting donations 7 days a week at the shelter and remember they are tax deductible.

WHO WE ARE

The Humane Society of South Brevard is an independently-run, non-profit, no-kill animal shelter. We DO NOT euthanize ANY animal unless their quality of life would suffer due to major medical problems. Our cats are free to roam inside our facility. We always strive to provide individual attention to all of our animals until they can be placed in caring, loving, lifetime homes. We have provided this service since 1978. In the unlikely event you find the pet you have adopted does not quite fit into your family, we will always take our cats back.
We take in cats on a pre-arranged basis only. Since we are a no kill shelter we do not "make room" for new cats. As we adopt and have space available we take in more. If you have a cat that needs a home please call and we will put them on our waiting list.
