The Castaways Save A Pet organization houses cat and dogs in a shelter where they stay until they are adopted. The volunteers of the organization take the pets to various locations around Long Island and works to get them in with a loving and suitable family where they can remain for the rest of their lives. They also provide education on the importance of spaying and neutering animals that have been received as pets. The group mostly deals with cats and dogs, but an occasional exotic animal might be left in their care and in need of adoption by a good individual or family.
