We use the best-practice technique that involves trapping, spay/neuter and return of feral cats, and we also provide funds to cover medical care for sick or diseased cats, vaccinations, and financial support for those who cannot afford TNR or other supporting services. Community services include education, trapping, rehoming, funding for low-cost vaccinations, and spay/neuter services for feral and semi-feral cats. In the 2024-2025 tax cycle we raised $7352 in funds to support our goal of paying for spay/neuter surgery and vaccinations. We helped 92 feral cats, including 54 females and 38 males. We also supported foster care and homing for 12 feral kittens. We aligned our goals to conform with the guidelines of the local Inyo County Animal Shelter. 0 0 We funded TNR or foster care for 92 cats in 2023-2024. Of the total, 54 were female spays, 38 were male castrations. The number includes 11 kittens, and two cats were humanely euthanized. Female cats can have up to four litters a year, which translates into at least 216 fewer kittens born in the Owens Valley in 2024-2025. We raised $7352, 30% less than the previous year, and at the same time cared for 30% more cats compared to the previous year. With only $5 left in our account, we will be seeking larger fundraising opportunities in 2025-2026. 0 0 0 Jennifer Garrison Director 10 0 0 Brandy Forbes Treasurer 2 0 0 0 Diana Woods Secretary 2 0 0 0 Karen Axelrod Public Relations 2 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 25 10768 7352 18145 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 25 10768 7352 18145 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 18145 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 25 10769 7352 18146 X Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Feral Cat Care of Owens Valley Expenses under the Other category of Part I, Line 16 include $210.35 for new cat traps, $1125 on supplies for cat trapping and foster care, $109 spent on educational posters, $781 on a booth and parade entry to promote our cause at a local festival where we promoted our cause and accepted donations, and $462 on our website.
