Be Part of the Heartbeat of Our Mission
At FAUNA, we believe that every person has something to give—and every act of support brings us closer to a no-kill Natchitoches Parish. Whether you have time to spare, skills to share, or resources to offer, you can help us save lives and build a better future for animals in our community.
From bottle-feeding kittens to managing fundraising events, we rely on our neighbors, friends, and supporters to keep our rescue running.

Wishlist: Give Comfort, Give Hope
Not all donations come in dollars—some come in blankets, kibble, and compassion.
Every item on our wishlist helps us provide clean, safe, loving care for the animals who enter our rescue, often scared, sick, or alone. From basic supplies like puppy pads and cat litter to critical items like crates and cleaning products, your gifts meet real, daily needs.
Whether you’re dropping off gently used towels or ordering from our Amazon list, you’re delivering warmth, dignity, and healing to animals who need it most.
Because sometimes the smallest item can make the biggest difference.
Still Not Sure Where You Fit?
That’s okay! Reach out anytime and we’ll help you find the best way to get involved.
