Pet of the week: Thomas
Meet Thomas, a charming, friendly, and confident adult cat looking for a loving home! This talkative fellow loves greeting you with enthusiastic meows whenever you enter the room, eagerly awaiting some pets, attention, and especially his favorite—treats. Thomas enjoys lounging by the window, soaking up the sun, and watching the birds and trees. He’s a social butterfly with people and gets along well with other cats, making him a wonderful companion for a multi-cat household. He’d also be content as the only pet, eager for plenty of love and interaction.
Ready to bring home happiness? Thomas is ready to fill your home with warmth and joy!
New! COmmunity Veterinary CLinic
Pets In Need is excited to introduce our new Community Veterinary Clinic, expanding our services alongside the Low-Cost Vaccine Clinic and Spay/Neuter Clinic. This initiative aims to provide high-quality, affordable care, focusing on preventative services such as wellness exams, vaccinations, flea & tick prevention, microchipping, deworming, basic diagnostic testing, and pet health advice. Our clinic complements local full-service veterinary practices, ensuring pets receive routine care to stay healthy. Please note that our clinic is designed for wellness visits only; for emergency or specialized care, consult your primary care veterinarian or a local emergency clinic.
Low-cost vaccine clinic
Stop by our Palo Alto shelter every Wednesday from 9:30 am to 11:30 am for low-cost vaccines and flea preventative care.
Space fills up quickly so we recommend arriving by 10 am to ensure your pets are seen the same day. If the clinic fills up early, we may not be able to see all clients until the following week.
For further details, visit Vaccine Clinic.

What we do
As a 501(c) 3 non-profit animal shelter, we transfer in dogs and cats from public shelters where they are in danger of being euthanized due to space or financial limitations. We then provide them with the best possible care and enrichment until we can help them find their forever homes.

As a non-profit organization, everything we do is made possible through donations of funds, supplies, and time from members of the community.
