We use the best-practice technique that involves trapping, spay/neuter and return (TNR) of feral cats, and we also provide medical care for sick or diseased cats, vaccinations, and financial support for those who cannot afford TNR or other supporting services. Community services will include education, trapping services, adoptions, low-cost vaccinations, and spay/neuter services for feral and semi-feral cats. In the 2023-2024 tax cycle we exceeded our goal of $10,000 in fundraising. We used our funds to pay for spay/neuter surgery and vaccinations for 62 feral cats, and we supported foster care and rehoming for 12 feral kittens. We also helped find foster homes and rehoming to several animals in cases of neglect. We provided advisement and education for 15 people in need of advice caring for newborn orphaned kittens, and we aligned our goals to conform with the guidelines of the local Inyo County Animal Shelter. 0 6287 6287 Jennifer Garrison Director 20 0 0 0 Brandy Forbes Treasurer 5 0 0 0 Diana Woods Secretary 5 0 0 0 Karen Axelrod Public Relations 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 CA Jennifer Garrison PO Box 1135 Lone Pine CA 93545 7606145255 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 0 0 0 25 10768 10793 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 25 10768 10793 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10793 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 25 10769 10794 X Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Expenses under the "Other" category include $636 spent on traps, $527 spent on upkeep of our website, $121 in supplies to support fosters, $100 to reserve a booth at a local festival where we promoted our non-profit and accepted donations, and $4903 spent on trap, neuter/spay surgeries at the local vet clinics in Bishop, CA and Lone Pine, CA.
