Ever hopeful, ever loving, always forgiving - pets are wonderful teachers. Our CAP Kids Club is a way for youth who love animals to learn about how to help our furry friends. We volunteer together, sharing the company of like-minded friends. It’s a wonderful way to learn more about animals and to enjoy the company of others who share a love for animals (for children ages 6-12).

CAP does not supply any food or food related items such as plates, cups, utensils, napkins, etc. for the party. And you are not required to order any food through us.  You may choose to bring whatever kind of food/snacks you wish.  If you are considering pizza, we get delivery from Papa John's pizza on Mason road at 1514 S. Mason Road all the time.

Please note: All our children's programs are designed for kids ages 6 and up.  We find that kids younger than six do not comprehend our educational lessons or activities and can struggle to read animal body language.  We can not risk children being hurt because of an over stimulated animal.  However, we understand that families attend our birthday parties and therefore we require that any child under the age of 6 brought to the CAP Animal Shelter be accompanied by a dedicated adult chaperone at ALL times understanding that they will not be supervised by CAP staff.
