ABOUT US

Who We Are

Since 2008, Connecticut Votes for Animals has been dedicated to making Connecticut a safer place for animals.

 

Through collaboration, education, and grassroots advocacy, CVA works with lawmakers and communities across Connecticut to pass stronger protections for animals. We transform compassion into lasting policy change that improves the lives of animals throughout our state.

Compassion Creates Lasting Change 

What We Do

Our Mission is to create lasting protections for animals through legislative advocacy. We work to advance pro-animal policies, educate the public about issues affecting animal welfare, mobilize supporters to influence the legislative process, and encourage Connecticut's elected leader to prioritize the well-being of animals in public policy.
