The same organisation under a new name
The organisation listed here as Cedar Valley Humane Society now uses the public name Allsop Family Humane Society. Its official website identifies Allsop as an operating name of the same nonprofit. Founded in Cedar Rapids in 1901, it became Linn County Humane Society in 1921 and adopted the Cedar Valley name in 1991.
Animal services across several communities
Alongside adoption, the society provides animal services for contracted communities in Linn, Johnson and Benton counties, including unincorporated Linn County. Its work includes helping lost animals return to their families. Coverage follows the communities listed on its official site, so residents should check their locality rather than assume every town in those counties uses the same provider.
Cat Companions for older adopters
Cat Companions allows people aged sixty-five and above to adopt a cat aged six months or older without an adoption fee. Applicants still complete the usual application and approval process. The cats receive age-appropriate vaccinations, sterilisation, parasite treatment, feline leukaemia testing and a microchip. The benefit removes the adoption fee, not the responsibility for future care.
An adoption option for veterans
Pets for Veterans offers eligible local US veterans half-price adoption of adult cats or dogs and a discount on dog training. Puppies and kittens under six months are excluded. Applicants need military identification or written records and must meet the normal adoption criteria. This is a companion-animal adoption programme, with individual matching still part of the process.
Children can help in several ways
Kids Who Care groups together practical projects, Cat Tales reading with animals and educational sessions for schools and community organisations. These activities offer ways to learn about shelter animals before considering adult volunteering. The society’s current Allsop website is the place to check programme details, available animals and how to arrange participation under its new public name.
