Bidawee Gala 2011








 


 

Bideawee, Inc. is a leading pet adoption and animal welfare organization serving the Long Island and New York metropolitan area communities. Livents had the honor of attending their annual benefit on Monday, June 13, 2011. Bideawee, which means “stay awhile,” in Scottish, is one of the country’s oldest and most respected animal welfare and pet adoption organizations.

Founded in 1903 by Mrs. Flora Kibbe, Bideawee provides shelter, care, and compassion to homeless animals. They have helped many of them find their homes for over 100 years. Bideawee operates three locations in New York: Manhattan, Wantagh and Westhampton. It is home to approximately 350 to 500 animals at any given time and places thousands of dogs, cats, puppies and kittens in loving homes annually. Bideawee sheltered animals receive thorough medical examinations, and are spayed/neutered and micro-chipped before approved for adoption.

Bideawee recently partnered up with Last Hope Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation, Inc. to lease a portion of The Bideawee Campus for Pets & People in Wantagh to provide animal rescue and pet adoption services to area residents. The Bideawee Campus for Pets & People will continue to offer its continuum of animal welfare and learning programs. Bideawee is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) humane organization and 100 percent of Bideawee funding is derived solely from private donations that compassionately helps these less fortunate animals.
