VINE Sanctuary provides a haven for animals who have escaped or been rescued from the meat, dairy and egg industries or other abusive circumstances, such as cockfights or pigeon-shoots. Sanctuary residents include chickens, cows, ducks, doves, geese, pigeons, sheep, emus, and even a few parakeets. In addition to sheltering and advocating for animals, we conduct research and education aimed at creating systemic changes in agriculture, trade, and consumption as well as human attitudes about animals and the environment. We work within an ecofeminist understanding of the interconnection of all life and the intersection of all forms of oppression. Thus we welcome and work to facilitate alliances among animal, environmental, and social justice activists.

Rescue, Rehabilitate, Resocialize, and Rehome

Cat Town's mission is to transform the approach to saving shelter cats, reducing euthanasia nationwide. Our focus is to find great homes for cats who are considered unadoptable in the traditional rescue model.While most rescue organizations support their local shelter by focusing on confident cats who are easily adopted, Cat Town focuses on the elderly, under-socialized, stressed, and sick or injured cats who would otherwise be killed. The Cat Town model proves these cats are highly adoptable, and has helped reduce the euthanasia rate at Oakland Animal Services, Oakland’s municipal shelter, by over 70% since 2011.

Carolina Equine Rescue and Assistance (CERA) is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to saving horses from abuse neglect, and slaughter. We rescue with the intent to rehabilitate, retrain and re-home through our adoption process. Horses who are not adoptable will receive high-quality care and call CERA their forever home. We believe that education is the foundation in order to decrease the unwanted horse population. CERA offers educational classes in equine ownership and management taught by qualified clinicians. We are also actively involved in the pre-veterinarian program offered through Wingate University. Select students are given the opportunity to receive hands-on experience by working with our veterinarians, farriers and assisting with daily care of our horses.
