Our Vision

Healing abused and severely neglected animals through medical care, advocacy, and education-The Arrow Fund Mission Statement.

The Arrow Fund is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides veterinary treatment, fostering, and rehoming of animals who have been victims of extreme torture, abuse, or neglect. We also educate the public regarding the ongoing problem of animal cruelty and the link between animal abuse and human violence and advocate strengthening our local, state, and national animal welfare laws.

When The Arrow Fund is contacted, and the case meets our criteria, we take legal possession of the animal and transport them to a veterinary facility for treatment. Following treatment, the animal recovers in a foster home; they can acclimate to living indoors and be assessed/retrained in preparation for adoption into a permanent home. 

 

Stay Involved

There’s always something going on at The Arrow Fund! Whether it’s through outreach at a music festival, an important deadline related to changing legislation, or a fundraising event, we love the opportunity to meet and interact with the community.

🐱Today is National Kitten Day!

The Arrow Fund was sought to care for some truly adorable and beautiful kittens (and cats) who had a rough start to life, but are thriving now and available for adoption. Please apply for these beautiful babies only if you love: endless purrs, cuddly snuggles, and laugh-out-loud entertainment for years to come! 🐈🐈‍⬛

DID YOU KNOW?
• There are approximately 75 million pet cats in the U.S.
• There are around 30 to 40 million stray and unhomed cats in the U.S.
• 6–8 million dogs and cats are surrendered every year in the U.S.
• More cats enter shelters than dogs.
• Nearly 300,000 cats were euthanized in shelters in 2025
• 46% of cats entering shelters last year in the U.S. were euthanized.
• 80% of animals euthanized in shelters are otherwise healthy.

A single, unspayed female cat, and her offspring, can produce MORE THAN 350,000 kittens in 7 years.

The single most important thing that we can do to save cats (and dogs) from all the suffering and death that their overpopulation causes is to SPAY and NEUTER.

Spaying and neutering our pets can prevent thousands of animals from suffering and struggling to survive on the streets, being abused by cruel or neglectful people, or being euthanized in animal shelters for lack of a loving home or resources.
