Who We Are

newmembermeetingCompassionate Action for Animals (CAA) has been serving the Twin Cities (Minneapolis and St. Paul) community and Midwest region since 1998 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. In 2003, CAA opened a chapter at the University of Minnesota—one of the five largest colleges in the U.S.

Today, CAA's efforts extend throughout the Twin Cities metropolitan area, various Minnesota college campuses, and nationwide. Our volunteers range from high school and college students to working adults and senior citizens.
