Welcome to Voice For Animals
Voice For Animals (VFA)
is grass roots, non-profit and no kill organization organization established in 1987 and headquartered in York, Maine.
We believe that all animals matter and deserve compassion, comfort, happiness, and respect.
Our primary goal is to give them a VOICE. We work to eliminate animal suffering and overpopulation,
to educate the public, and to promote sensitivity and caring toward all animals.
By alleviating some of the overcrowding which shelters across the state experience frequently or from time to time, Voice For Animals can
help twice: once by rescuing some animals before they go to a shelter, and again by allowing
the shelter animals to live longer (and have a better chance of being adopted) because there
are more empty cages available.
Our Purpose
This organization exists to promote sensitivity and caring for animals through
education and other lawful means and to share our knowledge of related issues with others
to promote understanding and compassion for animals and humans.

What We Do
We have, thanks to grants and generous private donations, established a spay/neuter program
that targets barn, feral, and other equally needy cats and dogs. Our goal is to one day have
a mobile spay/neuter clinic.
- We trap, sterilize, vaccinate, and return feral cats to their colonies where they are
supplied with shelters and daily feedings. When possible, adults or kittens are placed
in a home environment.
- We pay veterinary bills, as our budget allows, for sick or injured animals who would
otherwise receive no treatment or be euthanized.
- Presently we sent out an annual newsletter but our goal is to eventually send it out on a quarterly basis.
- Lobbying for the certification and "shared municipal use" of animal control
officers and the adoption of standardized methodologies.
- Offering hope, advice and direction to people
who do not know where else to turn for animal help.
Funding
We operate on grants, public donations, and membership dues. Voice For Animals pays NO wages.
A few core volunteers cover much of the small administrative costs of caring for the animals,
thus ALL donations are used directly for the animals.
We are currently conducting a member drive to increase our membership numbers. We need members
not only to help financially with the costs of caring for the animals, but also to give the
organization strength and spread the word of the work we are doing and the great need. Please won't you
lend your voice to this worthy cause? Together we can make a world of difference for those who
depend on us; who give so much, and ask so little...
Lend your voice. Sign up at the membership information section of this site. Meetings are held at various times
and locations. Check the upcoming events section for more
information.
