The Seal Beach Animal Care Center is a non-profit, pro- humane shelter that provides a safe haven for lost, homeless, abused and abandoned animals. We have been bringing pets and people together for 20 years!
The Care Center is supported solely by donations and fundraisers and because we are a pro-humane organization, we incur far more medical expenses than most other shelters. From treating simple conditions such as upper respiratory infection to providing life-saving surgeries, we are committed to giving each cat and dog every opportunity for a happy and healthy “second chance.”
All gifts to SBACC qualify for both a state and federal tax deduction for the fair market value of the gift, and immediately provide SBACC with necessary operating funds. If you are interested in helping the Care Center continue its work, currently or in the years to come, you can make a lasting contribution through the following vehicles:

We are pleased to offer a program that allows you to make a donation in honor of or in memory of a person or pet. Any such donation of $100 or more entitles you to a gold leaf on our Tree of Life, which will be engraved with a message of your choice and prominantly displayed in our lobby. Please call us at (562) 430-4993 or email Fundraising for more details.
WILL
A gift through a Will must go through the Superior Probate Court and takes approximately one year before SBACC receives the gift. Because SBACC is a tax exempt charity, the gift is not subject to inheritance taxes.
REVOCABLE TRUST
A gift through a Trust allows SBACC to receive your gift immediately upon your death. Because SBACC is a tax-exempt charity the gift is not subject to inheritance taxes.
CHARITABLE REMAINDER TRUST
This concept allows an individual to transfer an asset to SBACC and 1) not pay capital gains taxes, 2) receive lifetime income from the gift, and 3) realize an income tax deduction. The asset (Real Estate or Stock) would be gifted to SBACC rather than sold, and the gift would be made at full market value and become irrevocable. SBACC would then sell the asset and purchase an annuity based on the asset value providing a lifetime income to the donor and upon death of the donor the principal of the annuity would revert to SBACC.
OTHER GIFTING IDEAS
Gifts can also be left through a Life Insurance Policy, Pension or Retirement Plan, a Charitable Trust or even by giving art, automobiles or stocks.
We appreciate any donation you can make to help us care for our many homeless pets. However, we also need homes for our special babies who have ongoing conditions that require medication and/or treatment, while others just need a quiet loving home. Often, the pets that need our love and care the most are the most loving in return. If you have room in your heart and your home, please come in and visit our wonderful cats and dogs.
