The Humane Society of Charlotte has launched the final phase of a $15 million fundraising campaign to replace the cramped, outdated shelter with a new animal resource center that will serve the Charlotte community! We see this as an opportunity for progress - a community-oriented space that will provide more resources to the Charlotte pets and the people that love them.
The new 46,000 square ft. animal resource center will have indoor, climate-controlled kennels, increased veterinary space, a cat cafe, an education court, and more!
Learn more about the new animal resource center and how you can help by visiting

Community Cats Project
As of September 1, only 120 of what was a 1,000 free TNR surgeries remain for Mecklenburg County residents. The support and interest for our TNR program continues to grow, so we wanted to make sure you all know that we are nearing the end of the generous grant given to us by PetSmart Charities to be able to offer this service at no cost.
