We have many amazing organizations standing beside us.

Some of the most vulnerable animals at YVAS are the ringworm kittens. Each year we treat more kittens with this highly contagious fungus—about 90 so far this year. Because it spreads so easily, these kittens are housed in isolation to prevent contamination. During the evacuation, they were among the first we relocated. Once at the Learning Center, we faced the challenge of finding a safe space for them without risking further spread.
Thankfully, our wonderful partners at Heart of the Valley Animal Shelter in Bozeman generously stepped forward. They graciously welcomed all 13 kittens who were undergoing treatment, ensuring they could continue receiving care in a safe environment. Thanks to their kindness, these kittens are now receiving the treatment they need to recover and thrive, rather than being confined to temporary crates at the Learning Center. Shanie is just one of the amazing Animal Care Technicians from Heart of the Valley.
We are also deeply grateful for the support of additional partners who have stepped in during this challenging time. Moore Lane Veterinary Services, Best Friends Animal Hospital, Shiloh Veterinary Hospital, Animal Hospital of Billings, and many others have all donated critical medical supplies while we remain unable to access our own facility. Their generosity ensures that we can continue to provide the best possible care for the animals who rely on us.
