Organizations Filed Purposes: Since 2000, Heaven on Earth has saved the lives of thousands of cats and kittens by rescuing them from overcrowded Los Angeles area shelters and directly from the streets. We also save lives by supporting pet owners with low-cost spay/neuter and other medical services at the Heaven on Earth Veterinary Clinic. And, we help the community by facilitating the spay/neuter of community and owned cats through our Spay Ship transportation program. Our work saves lives, builds loving families, and supports local communities. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March of 2020, Heaven on Earth made several significant changes to our life-saving programs and fundraising methodologies to continue to save the lives of cats and kittens in LA, ensure all of our staff remained employed, and raise critical funds to continue to be financially viable. As a result of the pandemic, local area animal shelters were forced to either drastically limit services or close altogether. This left members of the public w

Heaven on Earth adopts cats and kittens into loving homes at Perrys Place, our 5,500 square foot adoption center and sanctuary named for Seth and Rachel MacFarlanes mother, at local area PetSmart Stores, and through our foster to adopt program. While the COVID-19 pandemic forced the closure of Perrys Place for most of 2020, Heaven on Earth continued to build loving families by introducing cats and kittens to potential adopters via virtual meet-and-greet sessions. Placements into our foster-to-adopt program, which provides flexibility for those considering adopting, increased during the pandemic as many families were home for the majority of the year. Likewise, the number of cats spending time in our foster-hospice program, which allows our elderly and chronically ill cats to live out their lives with a loving family also increased over 2019. In 2020, Heaven on Earth adopted 603 cats and kittens into loving homes and placed 554 cats and kittens into foster homes. At Perrys Place, we provide on-site veterinary care to cats and kittens with medical conditions, momma cats with litters, and underaged kittens. Our medical team of veterinarians, trained staff, and volunteers treat cats and kittens in separate isolation areas including wards designated for maternity, treatment of ringworm, and treatment of panleukopenia. Medical protocols for all cats and kittens are overseen by our staff veterinarians and are adhered to by our professional caretaking staff. In 2020, despite the pandemic, our professional veterinary team continued to provide high-quality care to the cats and kittens at Perrys Place. They performed 2,370 on-site veterinary examinations, provided 2,390 vaccinations, administered 30,893 treatments, and conducted 2,508 diagnostic tests. As a result of these life-saving efforts, Heaven on Earths 2020 Live Release Rate for all cats and kittens in our care was 94.3%. In collaboration with Los Angeles Animal Services, we run the Heaven on Earth Animal Clinic at the West Valley Animal Shelter where we contract to alter adoptable shelter animals. We also support local communities by providing no or low-cost spay/neuter services to owned animals through the Citys voucher program and low-cost services to the public including wellness and vaccine clinics. We assist other LA area dog and cat rescue organizations by providing discounted services to animals in their care. Even though the pandemic forced the closure of the clinic for over six weeks and the West Valley shelter for the majority of the year, our professional veterinary team performed 2,628 spay/neuter surgeries, a 25% increase over 2019. Of the total surgeries, 505 were for adoptable Heaven on Earth cats. Also, 38 specialty surgeries were performed to help Heaven on Earth cats to become adoptable. Our team supported the surgical needs of dogs and cats for 14 LA area rescue groups. Our SpayShip Transport Program helps communities by assisting caregivers with the spay/neuter of community and owned cats. This free service provides transport for surgery and educates the public about caring for community cats. In 2020, we facilitated the spay/neuter of 750 cats through this program. Since its inception, the program has helped 8,000 + cats and their caregivers.
