Capital Campaign
For forty years, We Care Animal Rescue has been saving animal lives in Napa County and beyond. We are calling upon YOU, our community of animal lovers, for help and financial support to rebuild our shelter.
Capital Campaign
We're Raising $750K for Our Shelter!
All donations raised through our capital campaign will fund our three phase rebuild, beginning June 2023. In anticipation of Phase 1 of our remodel, we are raising $700K.
The remodel will allow us to better meet the needs of the community and animals in our care and will align our rescue with UC Davis’ Capacity for Care” (C4C) recommendations for shelter management.
We hope you will join us in our Capital Campaign to ensure the future of We Care Animal Rescue and its residents!

Did you know?
Phase 1 of the remodel is underway!
All funds raised during Phase 1 of the Capital Campaign will be used to replace the old “Kitty City” and “Special Needs” modular building, which is falling apart from age, wear and tear.
The state of the building not only makes it very hard for our staff to clean, but difficult to keep outdoor critters out and cat illnesses at bay. Our current open plan/free roaming model limits the number of cats our sanctuary can house for several reasons.
We’re looking forward to welcoming new cats into our sanctuary and improving their quality of life during their stay with us!

Phase 1
The Plan
The new building layout will have sixteen separate cat rooms that will each house three to nine cats. Each room will have an attached catio, allowing our cats to safely enjoy the fresh air.
The food prep and laundry areas will move from the administration building to the main cat building. Staff will no longer need to spend time walking between buildings, ensuring their time is better spent caring for our sanctuary residents.
The new layout will also accommodate an adoption area, making it easier for potential adopters to spend time with cats, enhancing adoption opportunities. We believe the adoption process should be a joyful and fully supported experience!
- 16 cat rooms equipped with individual catios
- New food prep and laundry areas
- New designated adoption area
