Actors
and Others for Animals is a California 501(c)(3) non-profit
corporation dedicated to the promotion of the humane treatment
of animals. Our main mission is to curb the pet overpopulation
problem by subsidizing spay/neuter surgeries. Together with
other vital services, we are there to help pet guardians living
on a low and/or fixed income care for their beloved companions.
We
are a community based animal welfare organization serving
the greater Los Angeles area and surrounding counties. When
it comes to hands on assistance for animals, we are unable
to assist pet guardians outside of this region. Please check
your local listings for other similar organizations in your
area. |

We
are actively collecting email addresses so that we can move
towards a paperless newsletter
and help cut down on postage costs. Please help support our effort
and at the same time win a $500 shopping spree at
your local PETCO® store!
The
winner will be notified by email and will have five days to respond
before another address is chosen. The $500 must be spent in one
visit. Email addresses received from May 1 through July
4th will be eligible for the shopping spree.

Success
is not a destination, but a journey!
With
your encouragement and support, Actors
and Others has been diligently working
these past 38 years to help animals in need. With
you by our side, we will continue to provide a
comprehensive “stimulus package” including
subsidizing spay/neuter surgeries and emergency
veterinary medical treatment, promoting humane
education, championing pet-assisted therapy in
hospitals and similar facilities, providing direction
in
the care and protection of feral cats, offering
state-wide referrals of affordable spay/neuter
surgeries through www.spaycalifornia.org and
supporting animal welfare legislation. Nothing
will diminish or destroy the spirit of caring that
built Actors
and Others and
that everyday reminds all of us that it is more
blessed to give them receive.

The
American Institute of Philanthropy gives high marks
to charities that spent 75% or greater on their charitable
purpose. Over the years, Actors and Others has consistently
met that threshold, and our last reporting showed that
90% or 90 cents of every donated dollar goes directly
to helping animals and their guardians!
When you contribute to Actors and Others you can be confident in knowing
that your hard earned dollars are being utilized wisely. In addition,
you can be secure in knowing that we work very closely with our financial
advisors, Smith Barney, to incorporate both our shared principals of
animal welfare and cautious investment strategies to ensure long-term
viability and achievement.
