A nonprofit rescue on Wrangell Island in southeast Alaska, accepting surrendered and stray cats and dogs, providing foster and veterinary care, and placing them in adoptive homes in an island community with no municipal shelter. In 2023 the borough approved a 21-year lease for St. Frances to run a small shelter on a lot shared with the vehicle impound yard, giving it a long-term physical home for the first time.
