normal, healthy, loving life. With our help, along with organizations that our event benefits, we can all provide for a better way of life for these less unfortunate animals. The love and joy that we get from our fur babies is unconditional and truly rewarding!”

Andrea Kuentz
Fundraiser and Grant Writer for Friends for Animals of Metro Detroit in Dearborn
I volunteer because I have seen over the years the extraordinary efforts and passion that the volunteers show for helping animals in our community form three great organizations. The volunteers work as a team and go above and beyond to make the two large fundraisers successful and the food collection drives too! They work hard and have a large amount of fun at the same time. I am happy to be help them in any way I can.
Rescues: Chloe and Scout

Barbara Moten
Executive Director
“I became involved with Cat Tail Acres Sanctuary, a beneficiary organization, because they found a place there for a cat living in my back yard that I couldn’t bring inside myself. I became involved with MIAWF because Cat Tails is blessed to benefit from our association with MIAWF. I volunteer because I believe in the mission of both organizations, which ultimately help creatures who cannot speak for themselves, and because there is a strong feeling of kinship with all of the others in the group.”
