Every Life Matters

Together, we’re building a safe haven for every cat — where love and care always come first.

WHY WE ARE HERE

Always Welcome Always Loved (AWAL), is a Butte County animal sanctuary that focuses on Oroville's growing feline population problem. Here at AWAL, every cat is spayed or neutered,vaccinations,vet visits,fed and the freedom to roam and play as they desire. They all get love and attention and are seeking their forever homes through adoptions.

The most important thing at AWAL is a happy home for our babies. If an adoption doesn't work out we will be more than happy to take the animal back, so they never are homeless. We understand that life happens and we just want all parties to be happy with adoptions.

If for any reason you cannot care for your animal, bring them back no questions asked. DO NOT ABANDON. We also have chickens,roosters and dogs but our main focus is safe haven for felines. We are privately owned non-profit and all donations go to the care of the animals.

So any tax deductable contributions help us with food, vet visits,litter,beds,toys and safe habitat for them to live in. We do not take one cent for ourselves. If you are looking for a new companion to add to your family, PLEASE come see us first. Again our cats and kittens and teenagers are fixed,vacinated,loving and need a forever home. Any donation is appreciated and can be done via address or link below. Thank you for your time and support.
