Introduction. The Big Cat Rescue Is A 501©3 Nonprofit Organization

I chose to interview the SPCA of Wake County (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of Wake County). The SPCA was founded in 1971, to take animals from high kill shelters. But they did not run as an effective shelter during this time. In 2003 they opened their adoption center, which is known for having a much better quality of care than most shelters, and the animals are housed very uniquely, with open rooms instead of cages for the cats and dogs. The mission of the SPCA is “To protect, shelter and promote the adoption of homeless animals; to provide education about responsible pet ownership and to reduce pet overpopulation through spay/neuter programs.” The SPCA offers adoption programs, volunteering, affordable food, vet care;

Webber (2016) asked the manager, Jane Irwin, of how well the program was doing and if there were any things that needed to be changed. Irwin responded by stating that with the new building they have taken in even more animals. This has created a problem, because this means that more people are giving away animals and not keeping them at home. Irwin continues to explain how the BCHS is trying to combat this by giving families access to food for their animals and even needed medications for dogs and cats. The manager is happy though that the community is spaying and neutering their animals. This allows the animal population to increase too rapidly. During the interview it is discussed that the greatest problem for the organization is the number of cats that they have taken in. Irwin notes that this might be that people allow cats to “free roam” the community without much care. Again the BCHS fought against this problem, and was able to help pass a bill discussing the neutering and spaying of animals during adoption. The nonprofit organization was able to work with many other organizations in the community to help increase the number of animals that are being adopted. Some of these other organizations include Petco and the Litter Box Kitty Rescue. Irwin believes that if it was not for the community supporting

They have even partnered up with Subaru who donates two hundred –fifty dollars every time you buy or lease one of their vehicles, and the ASPCA health insurance to protect your pets. Not only do they have ads to help prevent cruelty, but they are also a hands on charity.

There are two types of programs that have been implemented. The first one is that the inmates are ultimately in control of these animals and get the chance to train and provide shelter for the animal. This program was a big help for when hurricane Katrina and Gustav hit those areas. They were able to take some of those animals in and help them so that shelters would not become overpopulated. The rescued animals are cared for by the inmates in a separated area from the inmate housing. The second program is located at Madison Correctional facility in Indiana. Here they pair rescued dogs up with inmates. There is also a handler that is provided for training and care for the dog. Each unit has different expectations for house for cats and dogs. Dogs are crated and can be let out at any hour to do their business. Cats on the other hand are litter boxed trained. They both have outdoor areas that are provide for them to have activities. The cat’s units are more specialized with climbing post. These two programs rescue on their own they do not pair up with another organization that rescues. When they do rescue they look for animals that tend to have more issues than others. According to (Nevada Law Journal (2013), “One correctional institution in Northwest Indiana had a general training program for animals from a rescue organization, but also provided dog-training for the general public. This

    Thirty years ago, Best Friend Animal Sanctuary was founded when a group of people had a vision to create a sanctuary for abandoned and abused animals. The main co-founders include: Francis Battista, Judah Battista, Silva Battista, Gregory Castle, Gabriel DePeyer, Jana DePeyer, Steven Hirano, Faith Maloney, Anne Mejia, and Cyrus Mejia.  With very little money and no master plan, they set out to create something very ambitious.  One of their major goals was to create a no-kill animal sanctuary, but unfortunately they didn’t have much of a voice until their sanctuary grew larger.  They didn’t want to become famous or wealthy, but do the right thing for creatures who could not speak or act for themselves.  To take the next step, in 1984, the founders made a promise to one another and the animals they cares for, that they would build a sanctuary in Southern Utah.  Their mission was to bring about a time when there are no more homeless pets.  They would dedicate their lives to housing and finding homes for unwanted pets while spreading

The facility has not had to euthanize a healthy dog due to lack of space for several years. Programs have been developed such as the “special needs fund,” which allows for expensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and adoption for many dogs who may not of had that opportunity in previous years. However, cats provide additional challenges due to overpopulation issues. Last year approximately 800 treatable-rehabilitable/manageable cats had to be euthanized. However, programs such as the trap/neuter/release program, foster care in private homes, PetSmart and veterinary clinic housing/adoptions, and free cat adoption incentives greatly reduced the overwhelming difficulties with housing/adopting cats (Nebraska Humane Society, 2014).

Matthew Bershadker was appointed as president and chief executive officer of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) in June 2013. Bershadker has led some of the most innovative programs to help animals all across the country. In 2014, he partnered with the New York City Police Department and established a program to provide enhanced protection to New York City’s animals. Since this partnership, animal cruelty arrests have tripled. Bershadker visualized and help create the establishment of the ASPCA Behavioral Rehabilitation Center, which is the first facility dedicated to providing behavioral rehabilitation to canine victims of cruelty and hoarding, which opened at St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center in Madison, N.J.

Some of the shelters in California are amazing, at Sonoma County’s animal shelter has new policies for the crowded conditions and are working to reduce the number of healthy animal’s that are killed. Dog and cat owners who may want to give up their pets have to make an appointment with the shelter staff to discuss alternatives. Healthy animals will be taken in only if the space is available, otherwise the owners must wait. According to one source, “Most public shelters have around 393,000 cats that enter public shelters and it increased to 25,000. About 278,000 cats were killed in shelters in

(Charity Navigator, 2015, Charity rating) These numbers are a far cry from what Mr. Bergh told the Governor of New York when he paid a visit to the ASPCA and he stumbled over a hole in the old, tattered carpet and told Mr. Bergh to buy better carpet and send him the bill, Mr. Bergh simply replied, “No, thank you, Governor. But send me the money, and I will put it to better use for the animals. (as cited in Winograd, 2012, ¶3)” Moreover, for the last 15 years, the shelters, rescue groups, feral cat caretakers and No Kill proponents who have tried to restore Bergh’s vision through the No Kill revolution have been opposed by those like past ASPCA CEO Ed Sayres, supported by a Board of Directors content to count the money, all of whom appear intent on squandering Bergh’s noble legacy. When we look back on Mr. Berg’s life’s mission and what he wanted to accomplish and then look at the ASPCA today, one must wonder what happened? While it is not an easy task to undertake, we will take a look at animal “shelter”

Countless lives locked away in cages and forgotten about have overwhelmed our society, it has left blood stains on our history as a species and if history has taught us anything, it’s that we have a choice to change our ways of adjusting to situations. A war which was fought in pursuit of ending such criminal means, yet we as human beings do little to nothing to end the horrific crimes of animal deaths in shelters. It is no secret that this world has become infused with problems that have extended from one side of the globe to the other. Amongst these problems lies a terrible truth: nearly every year, sums of almost eight million cats and dogs have been placed in shelters around the world. Out of these vast numbers, half will be

Sales took the most percentage of total revenue. The revenue of sales increased gradually from $ 214,934 (in thousands) in 2010 to $ 260,832 in 2012 while the figure of royalties reduced gradually from $ 873 in 2010 to $ 681 in 2012 (in thousands). The revenue of other income increased from $ 1,286 to $ 1,325 during this period and then the figure decreased dramatically to $ 533 in the financial year 2012. In addition, in the financial year 2012, a new resource of revenue called membership was developed with the figure of $54.

These dogs and cats can be saved if more families adopted rather than shopped from their local pet store or breeder.

I came up with $3.2m by taking the 1st quarter revenue of $718,000 which is historically approximately 22.5% of the yearly revenue.  Assuming this holds true again in 1991, the annual revenue in 1991 will be around $3.2m.  This is a 19% year over year increase in revenue for BLC, which is in line with their year over year growth in 1989, and less than the 34% in the best year, 1990.
