THE ANIMAL RESCUE FUND OF THE HAMPTONS ACTIVELY RESCUES CATS AND DOGS, PROVIDES QUALITY CARE AND OFFERS SANCTUARY UNTIL LOVING HOMES CAN BE FOUND. ARF's work with animals, within our community and throughout the organization is guided by three core values: compassion, integrity and dedication.
In partnership with the Town of East Hampton, ARF has made East Hampton a no-kill community. Cats, dogs, puppies and kittens are cared for at ARFs adoption center in Wainscott, NY, until they find a loving home. Animals are also adopted from ARFs mobile adoption van which travels throughout the tri-state area. A total of 854 animals were rescued by or surrendered to ARF in 2019, and there were 886 live outcomes, including adoption and transfer to partner shelters for adoption. In 2019, ARF focused special attention on reducing the overall length-of-stay of animals in the shelter by investing increased staffing and training to ensure dogs and cats receive enrichment, socialization, and training to reduce stress of shelter-life and promote behavior that will lead to successful adoptions. Every animal at ARF receives comprehensive medical care, including specialty care necessary for an animal to be adopted successfully. The success of our adoption programs has allowed ARF to serve the needs of our local community and actively rescue and transport animals from parts of the country where euthanasia of cats and dogs in municipal shelters is still a common practice to relieve over-crowding.ARFs year-round training programs provide affordable enrichment for dogs and their owners. Additionally, ARF offers free puppy kindergarten to all puppies adopted from ARF in order to promote a successful transition from the shelter to the home and reduce the number of animals returned or surrendered by their owners.ARFs Operation Cat (OP CAT) program, founded in 1997, is a pioneering feral cat trap/neuter/return program. In its 23rd year, OP CAT is responsible for neutering over 29,000 feral cats from Montauk to the Town of Brookhaven in eastern Suffolk County. This volunteer-based program is managed by ARF staff with support from ARFs medical team for TNR and animal care staff to assist with trapping. A total of 1,253 spay/neuter surgeries were performed free-of-charge on feral cats and community animals in 2019. Additionally, provides free food to volunteers caring for over 400 cats in colonies across the east end.
