Helping the Animals,
Making a Difference

What do we do?

Niagara Action for Animals’ mission is to advocate for all animals through education and community outreach. We envision a compassionate society that respects the innate worth of all animals.

NAfA produces annual newsletters as a means to keep our supporters informed about our events, fundraisers, and all the work that our volunteers do to help animals. To receive our current newsletter, either by post or by email, please contact us at NiagaraActionforAnimals@sympatico.ca

Go Vegan

Switching to a healthy vegan diet not only saves the lives of animals, it could save your own life, and the future of our planet.

Featured Adoption

Ernie

Short Coat Tabby (Brown / Chocolate)

House trained. Vaccinations up to date & neutered. Good in a home with other cats.

Enie is a sweet, belly-rub loving boy. He loves to snuggle up close and absorb the love through his humans over being picked up and held. Ernie has a great relationship with his foster brother BB and he absolutely adores spending time with him in his foster home. Ernie would benefit well from having a home with another feline companion that is confident and playful.
While he is playful, he is not as active as his brother, Burt, so his energy levels are milder. A home with cat savvy children is a must due to his preference to choose when he would like his snuggles. He is unknown with dogs.
Niagara Region home only.
