Pets make us happy. Intuitively, we know that there are huge health benefits to owning a pet, like helping to lower our blood pressure and cope with the stresses of daily life.
In fact, most of us can’t imagine our lives without our pets! That bond is at the heart of our work at Neighborhood Pets. We are here for pet owners when they need help and have nowhere else to turn. We meet them where they are and do what we can to help them give their pets the best possible care. And we do that thanks to the help of our generous donors!

In early 2023, Cleveland Institute of Art student James Negron embarked on a crochet project to benefit Neighborhood Pets, called "Warm Wait Mission."
James, along with a large group of volunteers (including many of you—our donors) crocheted granny squares at James’ workshops, at our Hooked on Brunch event held in May, and at home in their spare time. James then assembled the squares into sweaters and Cleveland-based photographer Leah Trznadel photographed our clients’ pets wearing these sweaters. Leah also photographed our office cat, Henry (Mr. October!). Our clients really enjoyed participating in this project and of course they got to keep the sweaters, which were fitted especially for their pets. We hope you feel the warmth and love from each photo– all of which truly represent our motto to Take Care of Each Other. The Warm Wait Mission was made possible by The Cleveland Foundation Fenn Educational Fund, the G.R. Lincoln Family Foundation, and the Cleveland Institute of Art Creativity Works program. |
