Over 40 years ago, a small group of humanitarians established Kent Animal Shelter to care for abused, abandoned and homeless animals. It stands as a testament to their vision, efforts and dedication. Kent is a haven where thousands of unfortunate animals have found love, and left misery and pain behind them. Roger Caras, internationally acclaimed author and wildlife correspondent, once said of Kent Animal Shelter that it is "evidence of Man's capacity for concern."

The Kent Animal Shelter is a private, not-for-profit humane society that provides a haven for homeless, abused and abandoned animals until new homes can be found. The shelter never destroys an animal unless incurably ill. Hundreds of animals are placed in responsible homes each year, and hundreds are spayed or neutered at the Kent low cost spay/neuter clinic. Kent Animal Shelter also has a Pet Therapy Program and a Retirement Home Program for cats that survive their owners (see our Programs and Services page). Located on scenic property near the Peconic River, with a dedicated staff, exercise facilities, and expert medical supervision, Kent is much more than a shelter.
