The beginnings of what would eventually become Cayman Islands Humane Society started over 43 years ago, on 24 February 1972, when a winter visitor Dr. Wallace R. Eagle placed a small ad in the Caymanian Weekly.

He invited “All persons interested in starting a humane society to alleviate the suffering of homeless or abused animals on Grand Cayman” to attend a meeting. Two days later, about 16 local people turned up and many others wanted to help.

Initially it was an informal association with membership, but on 23 November 1973, a non-profit company was incorporated. Animals were boarded with volunteers and then at Cheval Ranch in the early years. A Thrift Shop was started in 1975 in a rent-free premise behind the public library as a means to raise funds.

From 1994-97 the Humane Society rented the current premises on North Sound Road. When these were auctioned off in 1997, under a bank foreclosure, the Society was able to buy them due to the kindness of two large donors. Today the Society still occupies the same building. There are 37 dog kennels, a puppy room, a surgery and recovery room, a large cat adoption room including a play room and quarantine areas. Above the shelter is our Book Loft and Thrift Shop.

The Cayman Islands Humane Society is run by a board of directors elected each year by members at the annual general meeting. We have 11 paid staff including an assistant shelter manager, a staff supervisor, a vet tech and approximately 5 animal care assistants.

We are fortunate to have a team of committed volunteers working in essential areas- running the foster programme, visiting adopters’ homes, dog walking, assisting in the thrift shop and book loft and, most importantly, raising funds for our activities.
