Welcome to the Santuario Website
Santuario operates on the fundamental principal that all life has value and must be treated with respect. The purpose of this site is to inform the public about the sanctuary, to publicize animals ready for adoption and to solicit support in our animal rescue endeavors.
Who we are, what we do, and how you can help...
Established in 1994 as a no-kill refuge for the protection, care and well-being of cats in crisis, Santuario’s purpose is to shelter the homeless, feed the hungry, and heal the sick and injured. In addition, Santuario neuters and spays its residents to prevent unwanted births. Our ultimate goal is to provide all of the above in a loving and nurturing environment for the benefit of both animals and humans.
The following pages will tell you all about Santuario and our programs.
- About Santuario describes our goals, our history and a look at our grounds
- El Refugio is all about the refuge and how it's evolving
- Cats and Kittens for Adoption shows pictures of the kitties ready for homes
- Dogs and Puppies for Adoption shows more pictures of animals needing homes
- Adoption Success Stories about the lucky ones
- In Memorium is a page dedicated to the pets we've loved
Santuario is the cornerstone of San Carlos' animal rescue organizations.
SBPA de San Carlos, A.C., a Mexican civil association, was formed as a parallel extension of Santuario, and the two groups work side by side helping the animals of the San Carlos community. When the needs of SBPA de San Carlos, A.C. outgrew the amount of support available locally, then SBPA Services, Inc. 501(c)(3) was established in the United States to provide help through its US nonprofit status.
News about Santuario, how to donate and how to help us through your generous volunteer activities, is information available on the SBPA Services, Inc. 501(c)(3) site.
