Become a Member
One of the ways The Cambridge and District Humane Society supports itself is through membership. Annual membership fees are $40.00. Members receive special discounts at local businesses, a CDHS car magnet, the Society's Newsletters and are invited to attend Society meetings as well as vote on major decisions made during the meetings. Presently, the Cambridge and District Humane Society has about 100 members, which, considering that Cambridge has approximately 102,000 residents, is extremely low. We invite any one interested in becoming a member to contact us.

Membership Fees:

• Youth (to 17) $15.00
• Senior (65+) $10.00
• Adult (18+) $25.00
• Family $40.00*

*Family membership includes your spouse
  and children under 18 years of age.

Donate a Cat Bed

Introducing NEW KURANDA CAT BEDS! We currently have four of these wonderful new beds ordered for our cats here at the shelter. However, we will need many more to keep all of our feline residents happy. You can donate a set of two Kuranda cat beds at a special discounted shelter rate, to our cats in the name of a friend or family member. A personalized Gift Card will be mailed to them to inform them of the wonderful gift you have selected for them.

Zehrs Tapes & Newspapers
Please bring us your Zehrs cash register receipts, and old newspapers. Zehrs  generously give us 0.1% of all receipts we return to them.  All newspapers can be deposited in to our Abitibi bins at the front of our building, which also brings us in much needed funds.

Volunteers
Without a doubt, the Cambridge and District Humane Society would not exist without volunteers. If you would like to volunteer, please contact us. If you are presently or have been a volunteer for our organization in the past, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your kindness.

Help the Animals Through the United Way
If you participate in your employer's annual United Way campaign through payroll deduction, you may choose to designate the Cambridge & District Humane Society as the recipient of your charitable contribution, even though the CDHS is not a United Way funded agency.
Simply fill in Part "C" at the bottom of the gift form with the CDHS registered charity number 13682 8522 RR0001.

Legacies & Bequests
Legacies are vital to the work of the Cambridge & District Humane Society.
The CDHS relies entirely on the generosity of the public to promote and implement the mission statement and beliefs of the CDHS, so please remember your gift for the animals when planning your estate.  Keep in mind the tax advantages of donating shares in public companies.
If you would like to assure the future work of the CDHS through a provision in your will, this general wording is suggested.
"I give, devise and bequeath to the Cambridge & District Humane Society for the work they do with animals the sum of $_______ and/or specifically described property."
We suggest you discuss such provisions with your attorney.
Thank you for your ongoing support of the work of the CDHS.
