2013 Calendar
After looking at sales of the CAHS calendars over the past few years and the huge amount of competition from free and other calendars for sale, the CAHS has decided to discontinue its calendar. We've loved sharing photos and stories of our adopted pets every year, but it's simply not feasible to continue with calendar production. Thank you to everyone who has bought calendars in the past - the animals have truly benefited.
