Welcome to the Cayman Brac Humane Society Page!

In 2002, the Cayman Islands Humane Society recognized the animal welfare activities of Karen Fraser and Debby Scott on the Brac and formally asked them to become a branch. Previously, these 2 women had been helping injured animals and pets in distress and covering the costs by selling used paperback books at Coconut Boutique at Divi and usually making up the balance themselves. As the numbers were growing, this invitation to become a branch was a real blessing. For the first 2 years, the CIHS provided t-shirts for sale and gradually with funds from these sales the Branch was able to expand the services they could offer to Brac animals.

At present the CIHS covers vouchers for the spay and neuter and the Brac Branch continues to sell paperback books at 2 locations, maintains a Thrift Shop called "Paws and Claws" and throw a fundraising event at the beginning of the Christmas season. Currently, they maintain 5 cat feeding stations, supplement the supply of pet food for various households and walk dogs for the elderly on a regular basis. In general, they aim to provide what is needed as the situation arrives.

Cayman Airways allows free passage for animals needing immediate veterinary care. Island Veterinary Services visits the Brac for two days a month, performing spay/neuter procedures and regular checkups.

On a small piece of donated land in the Government Agricultural Center on the Bluff, this group has poured their hearts and souls into a pet hurricane shelter, Noah's Ark. Near completion this shelter will soon be able to house an estimated 50 dogs and 30 cats. In the past, some residents have decided to stay in their homes during a storm rather than abandon their beloved pets. We are so proud to be able to offer an alternative and help to remedy this situation.
