HATS and the rescue world lost a great man on September 30, 2018. Jim Kirby was a kind, compassionate, dedicated volunteer. He loved all animals, but he had a special place for the misunderstood ones. You could always find him in the shelter, holding and comforting the scared ones. He was a staple at our Saturday adoption events and always had a foster or two at his home. In honor of Jim, we ask that you dedicate a portion of your time to volunteering, because that was what was near and dear to his heart. If you are in the Lincoln County area and would like to volunteer with HATS, please fill out the form indicating your area of interest and our volunteer coordinators will reach out to connect you with the right team. If you do not live near enough to volunteer with HATS, please find an animal shelter or rescue near you where you can give one or two hours of your time. We ask that you please take photos and share them and your story on your social media pages with the hashtag #IdiditforJim so that his family can see the lasting impact Jim still has on the animal community.

Thank you so much for helping the homeless animals of Lincoln County NC with your generous gift.

Some areas of special requests for donations include an Emergency Medical Fund to help animals who are sick and injured get the treatment they need. The TNR fund will help us manage the feral or community cat population through purchasing traps and assisting colony caregivers with the cost of spaying/neutering and vaccinating cats. Through donations to our Spay/Neuter fund, we will be able to host low cost/high volume Spay Neuter clinics, as well as assist pet owners with the costs of spay/neuter when needed.

To use your credit card or PayPal, click one of the “donate” buttons to the right and follow the simple instructions.
