Overview
Charleston Animal Society (CAS) was founded to prevent cruelty to animals.
Locally, CAS takes in nearly 100% of the county’s animals (70 species), sheltering over 9,000 animals and caring for upward of 20,000 annually.
In 2013, CAS built the first No Kill Community in the Southeast, which many felt improbable, if not impossible to do. Succeeding in this and sustaining it for over 10 years, in 2022 CAS launched No Kill South Carolina 2024 (NKSC), a statewide initiative to build the first No Kill state in the south.
NKSC 2024, at its core, aims to build capacity community by community in SC in the spirit of “teaching a man to fish.” The story doesn’t end here. Using 10 Strategies, we continue to safeguard animals in our community and humanely manage overpopulation in spite of the influx of human population to the area.

BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.
When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.
BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this business, please let the business know that you contacted BBB for a BBB Business Profile.
As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation.
