Who We Are?

About Litl' Pal shelter

Litl’ Pal is non-profit, all volunteer animal rescue shelter dedicated to protecting and improving the lives of abused, abandoned and neglected homeless animals and placing them in loving, permanent homes. We take care about:

Cats & Kittens

Litl' Pal currently has over 100 cats and kittens available for adoption. All cats are vaccinated, spayed, neutered.

Parrots & Birds

The arrival of homeless birds can throw the typical dog-and-cat oriented shelter into havoc - unless you're prepared to wing it.

Rodent Pets

Our mission is to improve the lives of domestic rodents animals through education, rescue, and rehabilitation.

Exotic Pets

We're working to save the lives of all exotic animals across America, giving pets second chances and happy homes.
