The Guardian Angels Animal Welfare program focuses on helping rescue animals from abusive circumstances. Started by Nancy Regula Esq., a cat colony caretaker for over 10 years in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, this program was started to help some of the most vulnerable and voiceless members of our society – animals. Study after study has shown that those who abuse animals are more likely to abuse people. So one of the earliest ways to combat the rise of crime in society against people is to stop abuse against animals.

​

Animal Protection is a natural extension of the Guardian Angels philosophy – WE NOT ME.  This slogan recognizes that individuals acting alone cannot provide a lasting, effective solution.  The focus must always be on building partnerships with similarly motivated groups and working collectively to achieve those goals.

​

The first program initiated by Guardian Angels Animal Protection was building outdoor housing to give to those caring for cat colonies.  By helping those already carrying out the essential task of daily colony care we are helping build relationships in communities and getting inroads to learn about the animal issues unique to each neighborhood.  Providing shelter to cats during winter months reduces stress & illness, helping cats live longer.  One of the greatest stressors on cats is inclement weather.

The Guardian Angels also takes care of various animals that were slated for euthanization, mostly coming from outside or dangerous home conditions. Check in below to see our most recent kittens up for adoption!
