Give the Gift of KIND News through
Our Adopt-a-Classroom Program

Sheltering, rescuing and matching animals with human companions is important work. So is teaching our youth the basics of responsible pet care and treating animals with kindness and respect. Our KIND News Adopt-a-Classroom program is a vital part of our youth outreach and education efforts. This award winning classroom publication teaches children the value of kindness toward one another and animals. KIND News reveals the beauty and wonder of the animals who share our world while also exploring the challenges they face.  Through profiles of amazing kids, features about rescued animals, pet care tips, and how-tos on helping backyard wildlife, Kind News encourages youth to coexist humanely with animals, celebrate the human-animal bond, and be come active in efforts to protect animals. Kind News inspires a love of reading too. Contact our Community Outreach Director to start your classroom subscription.

Children represent the future and the lives of our shelter animals will someday be in their hands. CAP feels very strongly in reaching every child possible in as many classrooms as we can in the hope that someday they will prevent the problems we now face with the current pet overpopulation crisis and the tragic cruelty to our pet companions. The burden is upon us to promote lessons of kindness and empathy for animals and assure their development into compassionate adults capable of ending the ongoing suffering of innocent animals.
