How does it work? Simple.
Have your shelter and veterinarian contact CSADA to discuss your animal’s needs and we will pay the shelter and veterinary office directly.

To make this work, we need your TAX DEDUCTIBLE donations. Please mail your check to: CSADA, P. O. Box 1024, Pismo Beach, CA 93448
If you can, please set up a monthly donation for what ever you can afford.
No administrative paid staff, everything goes to the animals.
About Us
Origins
Care for Senior and Disabled Pets was started by Margaret Camara in loving memory of her dog, Chili, a spunky Chihuahua with much character and spirit, despite his medical ailments. The charity is now able to provide assistance to other pets in need.
Founder
My name is Margaret Camara. As an entrepreneur who has started several successful companies in the past, I saw a need to provide assistance to senior and disabled pets requiring attention. These adorable pets need an opportunity to remain in, or find, their forever homes in spite of their special needs.
100% of the money donated to Care for Senior and Disabled Animals (CSADA) goes to the animals and nothing to staff or administrative costs. Tax-deductible donations are needed.
Ways you can help
Please share this with friends and family. It would be a great way to spread the word and to help these sweet, old, and disabled animals. If you have any questions on how to do this, feel free to email us at [email protected].
UNLIKE OTHER CHARITIES, CSADA takes 0% of any donation towards administrative costs, 100% goes to the animals. There are no paid staff or Board of Directors. This IRS-approved 501©3 charity is not limited to California only. Every animal is special and every animal’s life matters. Just because they are old or disabled, they still deserve a chance at a life with lots of love. These are special and adorable pets. This was created so low-income people can keep their beloved animal and not have to put it down, give it away or just throw it out of the house onto the street due to expensive medical costs (if it is just thrown out, it could get hit by a vehicle, fall into a storm drain or get attacked by wild animals). This pet may also be their only reason for getting up each day, since their children may have grown up and/or moved.
CSADA has partnered with Real Estate Brokers in San Luis Obispo, Monterey, Sacramento, Santa Barbara, and Los Angeles. I introduce buyers and sellers to the Real Estate and Loan Brokers and in return, they donate a portion of their commission to the animals. CSADA has partnered with Loan Brokers to provide loan services for your purchase. It is very important to me for you to know that I do not take any compensation. 100% of all donations received goes to the well-being and welfare of senior and disabled animals. Your referrals are so greatly appreciated.

Margaret with CSADA stepped in for me at a moment’s notice the same day during my 11.5-year-old Doberman’s emergency vet call. Not only did she cooperate with my vet clinic to make sure my dog lived but she also followed through with the diagnostics, aftercare, and even ongoing medication thereafter. Although my dog passed away almost two months later, CSADA gave me that amount of time to treat my dog as comfortably as possible, gave me time to prepare my dog and the family for coming to terms with her condition, and above all, gave me the most precious time with her that no amount of money in the world can buy.
I simply could not ask for a more fortunate ending than what was possible with the help of CSADA. I credit CSADA with the biggest peace of mind I could have possibly received.
A REAL organization that helps REAL life situations in REAL time.

“We are forever thankful to Margaret Camara and CSADA for their ongoing financial support for one of our very special rescue dogs, Killey, a small senior Minpin. He is a special needs dog that requires daily medical care as he is completely incontinent and has secondary complications with his bladder that require extra attention and care. Margaret has been his champion for several years now, providing food, diapers and medical care, and ancillary support for his needs. Killey is with wonderful forever fosters and Margaret and CSADA have been a great source of support for them as well with this very special boy.
We are truly grateful and appreciative to this wonderful foundation and its founder, Margaret Camara.

Patrica
Thank you to Margaret and her non-profit CSADA. Because of her and her wonderful band of volunteers, I was able to get my mini-Chihuahua’s teeth cleaned, and one tooth extracted. Being on disability and having a limited income I myself could not afford to get his teeth taken care of on my own. They not only covered the expense for the veterinary service but they sent Noelle who is a volunteer to my house, picked up Dante and brought him back safe and sound. I really can’t say enough about Margaret and CSADA nor what I would have done without them.
Thank you again,
Patrica Jackson
LegalZoom
Care for Senior and Disabled Animals (CSADA) would like to extend a very grateful thank you to Brian Liu, a partner at LegalZoom, for his help in preparing and filing the paperwork to create our non-profit corporation. CSADA founder Margaret Camara states, “We could not have done this without them.”
Forming CSADA as a non-profit 501c3 corporation means that all donations made will be tax-exempt and you can claim your donations as tax deductions on your return. All this means that more money goes to helping the animals and not running a business.
So, once again, CSADA would like to say thanks to Brian and LegalZoom and to all of you who have donated money or time to help further the mission of helping animals in need.
