Organizations Filed Purposes:
CAT TOWN'S MISSION IS TO TRANSFORM THE APPROACH TO SAVING SHELTER CATS, REDUCING EUTHANASIA NATIONWIDE. OUR FOCUS IS TO FIND GREAT HOMES FOR CATS WHO ARE CONSIDERED UNADOPTABLE IN THE TRADITIONAL RESCUE MODEL.
OUR RESCUE AND ADOPTION PROGRAM PROVIDES A SAFETY NET FOR CATS WHO WOULD BE EUTHANIZED AT THE SHELTER BECAUSE THEY SEEM UNADOPTABLE THERE, AND BECAUSE THERE IS NO OTHER LOCAL RESCUE GROUP WHO WOULD HELP THESE CATS. DURING 2020, WE MAINTAINED A PROGRAM OF APPROXIMATELY 50 FOSTER CATS AT ANY GIVEN TIME, INCLUDING SENIORS WITH MEDICAL NEEDS, CATS RECOVERING FROM SURGERY AND CATS WHO WERE SO STRESSED OR SHUT DOWN AT THE SHELTER AS TO BE UNADOPTABLE THERE. AT OUR ADOPTION CENTER - THE FIRST OF ITS KIND IN THE USA - WE HOUSE UP TO 50 CATS IN A COMPLETELY CAGE-FREE ENVIRONMENT. WE FOCUS ON SOCIALIZING OLDER KITTENS THROUGH OUR FORGOTTEN KITTEN PROJECT. (SEE FULL STATEMENT ON SCHEDULE O)
THROUGH OUR EDUCATION AND PUBLIC OUTREACH PROGRAMS, WE STRIVE TO INSPIRE OTHER ANIMAL WELFARE ORGANIZATIONS TO EMBRACE AND ADAPT OUR PROGRAMS FOR THEIR OWN COMMUNITIES. THROUGH OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH MADDIE'S FUND, WE HAVE TRAINED ANIMAL WELFARE PROFESSIONALS FROM MORE THAN 60 CITIES ON ASSESSING, RESCUING, AND ADOPTING HARD-TO-PLACE CATS THAT ARE AT HIGH RISK FOR EUTHANASIA THROUGHOUT MANY PARTS OF THE COUNTRY. IN ADDITION, WE SUPPORT OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY WITH INFORMATION AND RESOURCES ABOUT CAT CARE, WELFARE, REHOMING, TRAP-NEUTER-RETURN, AND OTHER ANIMAL WELFARE ISSUES.
THROUGH OUR PET RETENTION PROGRAMS, WE ENABLE ADOPTERS OF CAT TOWN CATS TO KEEP THEIR ADOPTED PETS IN THEIR HOMES. FOR ALL ADOPTERS, WE OFFER EXTENSIVE COUNSELING AND BEHAVIORAL SUPPORT VIA OUR CASE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM FOR A WIDE VARIETY OF BEHAVIOR ISSUES. OUR IN-IT-FOR-LIFE PROGRAM PROVIDES FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO ADOPTERS OF SENIOR CATS AND CATS WITH COMPLEX MEDICAL CONDITIONS, ENSURING THAT THE COST OF VETERINARY CARE DOES NOT BECOME A BARRIER TO FINDING GREAT HOMES FOR THESE CATS.
