Our Mission

MISSION

PURPOSE

To improve the quality of life and increase adoption numbers of shelter/rescue animals (cats and dogs).

FUNCTION

Friends of TCAS will solicit, receive, and allocate donated funds for goods and services to Tri-Cities regional animal shelters/rescues for purposes such as, but not limited to: 

  • Spay/Neuter

  • Routine Veterinary

  • Emergency Veterinary

  • Training/Behavior

  • Grooming

  • Consumable and Durable Goods

  • Adoption Campaigns

We’re different, but connected

it’s a “tail” of two types of organizations serving a common goal.

Friends of TCAS is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization created to provide funding to Tri-Cities regional animal shelters/rescues. The funds raised by Friends of TCAS are allocated to local shelters/rescues on a case-by-case basis.  Our goals are two-fold:  to improve the quality of life of shelter animals AND increase their chances of a timely adoption.

Our Tri-Cities regional animal shelters/rescues provide daily care to these otherwise abandoned animals, operating primarily through donations and grants.

We are uniquely different organizations, but our goal of helping local animals in need is shared – a partnership that works!
