My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Someone knocked on our door and said they found a kitten under a car that looked deceased. Our employee went with them to see the kitten and found her barely moving and covered in fleas. The AALOC team rushed her to Animal Hospital of Huntington Beach and the vets said her red blood cell levels were 8%. Normal levels range from 30-50% which meant she was extremely anemic. Most animals would not be alive; she really was on death’s door. A volunteer then transferred her to VCA Orange County Veterinary Specialists for a blood transfusion and she received a whole pint of blood, bringing her values us considerably. Her fecal tests came back negative and she regained her strength with a good appetite.

Dorothy (as she was named) is now doing wonderfully! The staff reports she is so very friendly and affectionate. Please apply to adopt Dorothy at www.aaloc.org. Once your application is reviewed and approved we will contact you to make an appointment to visit us at AALOC to meet Dorothy and get to know her a bit.

More about this shelter

The Animal Assistance League of Orange County is a non-profit 501(c)3 no kill humane society dedicated to aiding lost and homeless pets, helping people with pet related problems, promoting responsible pet-ownership and pet population control, and preventing cruelty to animals through educational programs.

The organization took its first steps in 1973 with a few animal lovers who wanted to reunite pet owners with lost pets. Today there is a no-kill shelter located in Midway City, with a population of approximately 110 cats and dogs. There is a telephone/email helpline that assists pet owners with a variety of issues, including spay/neuter, pet aid for low-income pet owners, animal abuse and any number of other issues related to cats and dogs.

AALOC is managed almost entirely by volunteers. The reason we do what we do is that we care deeply about animal welfare and hope to make a difference - at least in our part of the world.
