CARA stands for Compassion and Responsibility for Animals. It was founded in 2000 by a group of animal welfare advocates with the mission of promoting responsible pet ownership, spay-neuter of pets and stray animals, and pet adoption.
We operate a low-cost vet clinic in Mandaluyong to help cover some of the cost of running an organization that is completely run by volunteers.
We are not a government agency. Our volunteers do not get paid for their efforts. We do what we do because we care for animals.
In the next weeks, expect a series of informational posts featuring questions that are frequently asked of CARA. We hope this will help clarify some issues and concerns about what CARA is and what we do.
