This New Jersey based rescue group has a storied history, with 20 years of lifesaving work to their credit. They offer a number of programs including adoption, spay/neuter clinics and a senior-to-senior program that provides food for older pets adopted by seniors. Now they’re supporting their community in a critical way - to help prove to the municipality that its pilot TNVR program is an impactful and worthwhile effort. Our grant funding will be used toward this purpose to directly fund spay/neuter and vaccination for community cats.

This worthy group of rescuers in Texas have stepped in to fill a critical need in their community’s Animal Care & Control department. Thanks to Another Chance’s involvement, AC&C’s live release rate increased from a tragic 4% to 90%! This heartening transformation required these volunteers to provide not only adoption services, but also all veterinary care. What’s more, our funding will go to help keep animals healthy and in their homes by providing heartworm treatment and prevention to those who cannot afford it.

The impacts of COVID-19 for this, and many rescue groups, are that the number of animals in need has increased, storefront adoption events have stopped, and donations have dropped off suddenly and sharply. With all of this happening at the height of kitten season, Crazy Cats in Ohio is working hard to work through a backlog of needed spay/neuter surgeries, and make up for lost adoptions and revenue. We are happy to support their efforts with a grant that will fund some of these critical needs.

Did you ever wonder who to call if you find an injured cat or dog on the side of the road? If you’re in the Hermison, Oregon area, Fuzz Ball Animal Rescue has the answer. Specializing in rescuing, rehabilitating and finding homes for unclaimed injured animals, these volunteers are all heart. With almost-certain veterinary bills for every animal, this is an understandably expensive endeavor which The Dr. Jane Foundation is pleased to support with funding.

COVID-19 has had a major impact on the operation of many rescue groups, and Operation CatSnip of Kentucky is no exception. Focused on Trap, Neuter, Vaccinate and Release (TNVR) and the population management of community cats, they have shifted gears into a feeding mission. As restaurants and businesses that were once responsible for feeding and monitoring a group of cats have shuttered, volunteers are stepping up to ensure the daily feeding and care. Spay/neuter clinics also were on hold for a long period, creating a backlog of cats waiting to be altered, and risking more population growth as a result. Funding from our grant will be used to cover additional feeding expenses and surgeries once the spay/neuter program resumes.

It is common to see rescue organizations with two areas of focus - rescue and population management. In other words, adoption and spay/neuter. The trick is keeping funding levels high enough to support both ongoing efforts. This group has demonstrated innovation through partnerships that allow them to foster and rehabilitate dogs, and tap another rescue for the adoption. While bringing dogs into health is expensive, this format allows them to help more low-income pet parents to get their pets altered. Grant money will be used to bridge a donation gap left by COVID-19 for an upcoming spay/neuter program.

In this pandemic year, what would have been a marginal budget surplus has turned into a deficit. Many of their cats had been sheltered at pet supply stores which suspended partnerships in March of this year. With the loss of facilities, typical adoption efforts on hold, fundraising events canceled and the influx of animals continuing, this South Florida group has pivoted to refocus on not only sustaining current adoption levels, but also to continue to increase their ability to help more animals. Foster family heroes have stepped up to fill the housing gap. Grant funds will be used to support the care of animals while they’re in foster care awaiting their forever homes.

Pet parents pay a nominal fee for this invaluable surgery. The group makes up the difference with the help of a generous rate offered by area veterinarians.

Two important things for a new organization to have are a pragmatic growth plan and lots of heart. That is especially true when serving the time-demanding charges that are the focus of this budding group - newborn kittens. This group from Washington is committed to working smarter and staying organized because they recognize that bottles, scales and warming pads are just the beginning when it comes to filling the role of ‘mom’ to neonatal kittens. Timed perfectly to the spring start of “kitten season”, funds awarded by The Dr. Jane Foundation will be used to keep core supplies flowing.

Among the many encouraging trends in the animal shelter and rescue is the ability for groups to specialize.

They partner with their area shelter to provide round-the-clock care as kittens recover from a myriad of illnesses and conditions, not the least of which is that they are simply so very vulnerable. We are pleased to support the intensive and passionate work of this organization with grant funding for their much needed supplies.
