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.

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

Malachite

Domestic Short Hair

Young Male, Gray & White, Vaccinations up to date, Neutered, Good in homes with other cats and dogs.

Malachite is a very sweet boy that can be quite timid when it comes to meeting new people. Once he becomes comfortable his true colours shine through and he is a very sweet and playful boy. He is an independent guy and would much rather curl up beside his humans than be all over them.
Malachite would do well with another confident feline to help him adjust and feel more comfortable in his new home. A quiet home would be ideal as his timid side will not appreciate a lot of loud, hustle and bustle. He loves to play with his brothers and sister and he does not mind calm, large breed dogs.
