New intakes ▶️

🩶Kenny was a stray with his mom and sibling. Before we could get Kenny in, his mom and sibling went missing leaving Kenny all alone to brave the storm. Kenny is safe and sound and will be available for adoption in a few weeks.

🤎 Skye was a neighborhood stray for almost a year. His caretakers brought him in before the storm to keep him safe and warm. Putting him back out just wasn’t an option so he came to us instead! He will be available in a few weeks.

🖤 This beautiful lady doesn’t have a name yet but was also found as a stray during the big storm. Luckily some nice humans brought her into their garage to keep her safe. Now she’s with us! She will be available in a few weeks! Any name suggestions for her?

We know we have a lot of cats in our care but you can’t forget about our special guy!

Sprocket came to us in September and is completely bowel and urine incontinent. His X-rays do not show any injuries but we are still on the search for anything we can do to help make his amazing life even better. Next on our journey is acupuncture!

Sprockets amazing foster family keeps him clean and happy in his normal routines with his diaper.

If you’d like to donate supplies to help Sprocket you can do so here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/20KJ53J67HYOJ?ref_=wl_share

Monetary donations are always appreciated as we continue on his journey!

As a proud Best Friends Network partner, Companion Animal Coalition is contributing significantly to the nationwide movement towards achieving no-kill status by 2025. Our efforts, combined with those of over 5,000 animal welfare organizations across the country, are yielding positive results in saving more animal lives

The latest data from Best Friends Animal Society shows encouraging trends: (see graphic below)
-A 3.4% decrease in animals killed nationwide compared to the same period in 2023
-A notable 5.1% decrease in cats killed
-A 4% increase in cat and dog adoptions

These improvements mark the first positive national trend in lifesaving since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

Our organizations's recent numbers reflect our commitment to this cause:
Total intakes: 193
Adoptions: 159
Deaths: 7 (6 of which were bottle babies)
Euthanasias: 2 (Both Veterinarian recommended)

These figures demonstrate our dedication to saving lives while also addressing the challenges of caring for the most vulnerable animals, such as neonatal kittens.

As a network partner, we benefit from and contribute to the collaborative efforts that define the Best Friends Network. This includes sharing expertise, implementing proven lifesaving strategies, and accessing resources to enhance our local impact.

Our participation in this network allows us to leverage collective knowledge and support to address the specific needs of our community's pets.

By focusing on key initiatives such as fostering programs, accessible spay/neuter services, and community cat programs, we're actively working to reduce shelter intake and increase positive outcomes for pets in our care. Our efforts, combined with those of other network partners, are crucial in moving towards the goal of making the entire country no-kill by 2025.

Together, we're not just saving lives; we're transforming how our community views and cares for homeless pets, ensuring a brighter future for animals in need.
