CART was created to help transport cats out of Central Arkansas by finding destination partners and handling the transport specifics (without any cat intake) for local rescues and shelters. It became clear in CART’s second year that these opportunities could be shared outside Central Arkansas with rescues and shelters that have transport expertise and capability – and need. By collaboration and teamwork more animals (including dogs) could be saved through transport! This expansion led to the creation of an informal coalition – eventually to a new focus as well. Now we are officially the Coalition of Animal Rescue Transporters!
The mission of the Coaliton of Animal Rescue Transporters (CART) is to collaborate and share opportunities to transport rescue animals from shelters and rescues to the same in other states that have more adoption demand than in the Coalition members’ home area.
