In the beginning Whiskers and Tails was basically a fundraising organization. We started out simply to raise funds for spay/neuter programs and to join the ranks of many other humane organizations by promoting spay/neuter and to decrease overpopulation in our own community. As time went on we opened our eyes to a much bigger picture of abuse, abandonment, dumping, ferals and strays, forgotten and unwanted and death row. Keeping spay/neuter as our foundation we began to add other projects and programs to round out our entire humane format.
Humane education, children's literacy and children's humane education, volunteer opportunities, community service fulfillment, promoting spay/neuter and offering a directory of humane resources and information. We educate people on the connection between animal abuse and domestic violence.
A directory of links can be found on the left hand side of this site. Free or low cost spay/neuter clinics around the world, how to help ferals and strays, ways to avoid giving up a companion animal because of allergies or housing issues and so much more).
Active rescue and emergency rescue as well as death row rescue. Assisting animals that are sadly and cruelly being offered free to good home. Creating a registry for lost and found animals and providing a sounding board for our community and their humane situation queries.
WHISKERS AND TAILS GOALS ARE TO DECREASE ANIMAL OVERPOPULATION BY ACTIVE RESCUE AND HUMANE EDUCATION AND TO CREATE A FOREVER HOME SANCTUARY FOR ANIMALS THAT ARE OTHERWISE UNWANTED OR UNADOPTABLE. And for animals that are abused, abandoned, dumped feral and stray. WE INTEND TO PUT AN END TO THE NEEDLESS SUFFERING AND DEATH OF THESE PRESCIOUS BEINGS.
Paw Note:
We cannot take in every unwanted animal in the world. We do not have the funds or the man power to do this and animals have needs that must be met. We can help communities and their residents to learn about safer adoption procedures. After all, when you want to "get rid" of an animal you are handing over an innocent and precious life to a perfect stranger. Keep in mind that there are a lot of abusive and uncaring people in the world. Whiskers and Tails can help with the adoption process.
The facility that we are proposing will not be a drop off point for people to "get rid" of their unwanted animals. We will serve as an outreach program to help people to find safer homes for the animals that they cannot keep and we will work hard to make sure that the population of unwanted animals will be greatly decreased.
Paw Note 2 - We are not a licensed shelter at this point because we are not an animal shelter.
Our future plans include obtaining a license from the Missouri Animal Division to be able to assist with the adoption of unwanted animals when the new facility is open. We will also obtain a Sanctuary License at that time as well.
Final Paw Note - our organization seeks to build a place that will help both people and animals.
This site is designed in the format of an actual grant proposal to save both time and research for persepctive donors.
We have amended our articles of incorporation to include assisting humans as well. Companion animal owners that might not be aware of all of the humane resources that are available to them.

You will notice that the left hand side of this page has several links. Those links are extremely important. Many have financial assitance information. Some have feral cat help information, free or low cost spay/neuter info and some have humane resources that most of us that work in the animal world cannot live without. It is our sincere hope that you will find our research useful and helpful as you work to help those that cannot help themselves.
Finding out about who we are and what we do is simple.

Please contact us through our e-mail address angeliqu401085@yahoo.com regarding any lost and found animal from anywhere around the country and we will post at no charge to all lost and found related groups and site that we can. We will also send you links to help you in your search so that he or she will have a better chance to make it home safely. We will need all of the following information: Your name and address and contact phone number, an e-mail address. Please tell us when you noticed him or her missing. Please let us have a full decription, picture and all other information regarding your dog or cat. Include any medical conditions, personality of the animal and a name. The more info the better.
Here is a great place to go to submit your site especially if you have animals needing homes, have a humane site to get out to the public and more.
Auto Submission
If you know of an animal on death row, one that has sadly and cruelly been listed in a free to good home ad or is being given away through a flyer or other form of media, in a parking lot or on the streets ( Paw Note: we do not accept direct free to good home ads for placement on our site or on any of our groups it is unsafe for anyone to give animals away to strangers. Free animals have no value to some people and will often be treated cruelly or sold to research labs where they are put through horrible ongoing abuse. ) please scan the ad and let us know what paper, date and all of the info that you can. We have had many e-mails from visitors to our site wanting us to place their animals for them. we do not offer this service at this time. If you must find a new home for a dog or cat please do so safely. Ask for references from their vet and from employers and neighbors. Do a follow up home visit and make sure that each animal is altered before he or she goes anywhere. This means with friends, relatives, co-workers and neighbors. No one knows what goes on behind closed doors and animal suffering is not acceptable. help us to stop the cycle of animal abuse by really checking out the new home that he or she might be going to. Safety is the key. There are people out there that cannot legally adopt animals from shleters or rescues because a judge ahs found them guilty of neglect or abuse. All they have to do is look at a flyer or free to good home ad and easily find another animal to mistreat. Keep that in mind. Several free to good home animals are used as target practice, snake food and some are even used in beastiality. PLEASE, PLEASE. HELP US TO KEEP THEM SAFE.
