About Us

Our Mission

Since 1982, We Care Animal Rescue has been committed to improving the quality of life for companion animals in Napa Valley by providing shelter, compassionate care and community resources.

As a no-kill shelter, we never euthanize our residents due to concerns about housing space or extended stay. Our sanctuary is committed to lifelong care and only considers euthanasia when an animal’s quality of life is extremely poor and all other options are exhausted.

Our Causes

What We Do

At We Care Animal Rescue, all of our work centers around providing life-saving care, valuable emotional and monetary support, and critical animal welfare resources to our community.

While many rescues have the capacity to care for healthy, young and adoptable animals, few have the expert staff and flexible space to work with pets that have advanced medical or behavioral needs. That’s where we saw a unique need in our community.

As they would in a family home, animals at our no-kill shelter receive:

Medical Assistance

Caring for your pet can be hard. We’re here to help by offering spay, neuter, vaccination and microchipping assistance, alongside reduced fees and emergency grants for families in need. Contact us for more information.

Sanctuary and Hospice

Many of the animals in our care are unsuitable for rehoming due to age, illness or temperament. As the only shelter in Napa County that offers hospice care for cats, we welcome felines facing euthanasia and provide them with a peaceful sanctuary for their golden years. Contact us to schedule a visit.

Care & Enrichment

Our hardworking team of shelter staff and volunteers provide a healthy and engaging environment to our 120+ shelter residents. Whether our residents are preparing for adoption or are living out their remaining years in our sanctuary, our staff ensure a comfortable stay.

Intake & Adoption

Our shelter residents often come from local municipal shelters and homes where their owners are facing hardships and can no longer care for them. Communal living, along with an expert staff, provide them with the second chance they deserve to find a home.

Food Distribution

When Napa County residents are struggling to afford food for their pets, we provide bags of dry food and cans of wet food to anyone in need. Frequently, we give food and supplies to senior citizens, allowing them to keep their pets at home instead of surrendering them to a shelter. We also support community members who distribute food to feral cats in the region. Contact us for assistance.

Community Education & Events

We respond to information requests on cat behavior and training methods, queries about feral cat care, questions about other animal resources in the area, and many messages about lost and missing pets. We also offer educational programming for community groups and schools which features shelter tours and presentations on responsible pet care.
