    About Voice for the Animals Foundation
    Voice For The Animals (VFTA) is a 501c3, non-profit charitable foundation which is devoted to creating respect and empathy for animals through education, rescue, legislation, and advocacy. The organization was founded by Melya Kaplan in 1999 when she realized that although there were many great rescuers, there was a dire need for a new type of animal protection organization with programs to empower people to help more animals. VFTA has many programs that focus on animal protection, including an Animal Assistance Hotline, Rescue and Adoption, Working Cats, LA Zoo Watch, Helping Friends, Abuse Prevention, Humane Education, Political Animal, Feral Colonies, VFTA in Greece, Animal Films, and an Elephants in Captivity Awareness Campaign. The Captivity is Not Conservation campaign is devoted to educating people about the plight of BILLY THE ELEPHANT and his life in captivity.

    Continuing on the initial path together, Kadrolsha Ona Carole (KO), our PR guru and key Advisory Board member, along with CEO, Mario Domina and his Jersey Shore Entertainment – JSE Films continue to build an optimized, full-spectrum approach to media creation—one that spans the entire lifecycle of Intellectual Property (IP), from ideation to global monetization. This alliance continues to streamline and elevate every phase of our content development, ensuring that the great stories Jersey Shore produces reach audiences worldwide with impact and integrity, remaining consistent with our Five-Point Framework for Success as we continue to expand our global partnerships. With the studio gap left by their sole dependent on blockbuster movies against the films they cannot release theatrically it leaves open an opportunity and the one aspect of positivity for indies such as Jersey Shore Entertainment. Over the past year, the indies have risen and broke-through with re-releases, animation projects, and others that it is impossible for investors with global partners not to see the revenue potential and where the money is to be made with all the various forms of distribution now available. 2026 is the year of the indies and expected to excel…and Jersey Shore Entertainment anticipates being within that scope of success as we move forward through the year. Upcoming Events On January 14, 2026, CEO, Mario Domina, and his Jersey Shore Entertainment – JSE Films and Kadrolsha Ona Carole (KO), our PR guru and key Advisory Board member will appear on the PHANTOMS & MONSTERS RADIO PODCAST with its host¸ Lon Stricker to discuss the development of the TV series.
