❤️It's Our Birthday! 🎂

By Franki Williams

It’s our Birthday🎂! That’s right friends, tomorrow the Humane Society of Ventura County will celebrate 87 years of service to the people and animals of Ventura County. The nonprofit organization was established in 1932 by a group of dedicated animal lovers who saw a need to provide compassionate care to vulnerable animals throughout the area. After many years of struggling with small locations, very little money, and lots of needy pets, the Humane Society moved into its existing space in 1982 when its beloved benefactor, Sara Bayless, donated 4.4 acres of land in Ojai, California.

Calling All Cat Lovers!

By Franki Williams

The Humane Society of Ventura County is in the process of upgrading the cat-friendly furniture inside our indoor and outdoor Cat and Kitten rooms at the Shelter in Ojai. We have partnered with Kuranda USA in helping outfit the cat areas with their Cat Towers which are heavy duty, stylish and can be disinfected. These will replace all the traditional carpet-based cat trees that were in the lobby and patios which cannot be disinfected when they become soiled.
