Our statistics for 2008

We just compiled these stats from our 2008 adoption documents. It is impressive, and we wanted to share!

In total we rescued 260 cats and kittens in 2008, and 85 sterilizations were performed!

If you are wondering what happened to the cats that were not sterilized, the bulk of them would have been kittens; we did rescue a number of already sterilized cats; we re-housed many cats who were already owned and needed new homes (though we've subsequently stopped doing that due to the desperate need to save the street cats); and we did adopt out a handful of cats that were of age to be sterilized. This only happened though when funds were non-existent, and to people we were 100% sure were going to have it done asap.

Also included in those statistics were approximately 10 cats which were subseqently euthanized shortly after rescue, due to already present disease. We are especially grateful to have found these poor dear souls.

We are so grateful to our members, volunteers, foster homes, and supporters who all played a part in making this possible. Just think of all the suffering we have prevented, through the rescue of strays, and the prevention of births to strays.

**this does not include the many sterilizations of feral cats who were subsequently re-released to the colonies
