About Animal Protection Society of Durham
   The Animal Protection Society of Durham has been helping animals since 1970. The APS of Durham is a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting and providing shelter for all animals. Our mission is to educate the public about the humane care and treatment of animals, promote spay/neuter and encourage the adoption of homeless animals.

We care for nearly 7,000 dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens each year. Every day we provide safe, clean living quarters for hundreds of animals that come into our shelter.

In addition to providing shelter to animals, we also provide low-cost rabies and microchip clinics to the public and educational programs to local schools and civic groups.

We are a non-profit organization that relies on donations from our members and other donors in the community in order to fund these programs.

After my faithful feline companion of 19 years passed away in early March, there was a definite void in our family's life. Like many of you, I thought I'd just drop by the Durham APS and "look around." Well, one fateful Saturday afternoon resulted in this big ol' natural Maine Coon with his beautiful green eyes stealing my heart. On April 4, "Kevin" joined our family and before the day was done, my 14-year old son remarked, "It's like he's been here with us forever."
Now affectionally dubbed Che' because of his resemblance to a certain Latin American revolutionary, this playful lovebug has won our hearts with his endearing and playful ways. We may never know about his past, but we can promise that his future will be a secure and happy one as the newest member of our family.
Thank you,
Susan
