Spring 2026 — Issue No. 01

Concerned Citizens for Animals

Stories of rescue, recovery, and second chances from the Upstate.

Every animal deserves a place to feel safe.

From the Desk of CCA

Hope is in bloom — and so is the difference you made.

Across 2025, every gift, every volunteer hour, and every small act of compassion added up to this:

199

Animals placed
in loving homes

708

Community cats
cared for via TNR

$248K

In medical care
funded for animals

Inside this edition: stories of healing and hope, tributes to lives well loved, and reflections on the community that makes our work possible — plus a hidden frog hunt with 21 friends to find. 🐸

A quick note: Paw Prints now arrives from newsletter@ccaweb.org. Please add us to your address book so you never miss an issue — and thank you for choosing the digital edition, which saves us postage, printing, and a few precious trees.

Thank you for being part of this work. Every life we save, we save together. — The CCA Board and Staff
