OUR ROLE IS TO PROVIDE SAFE, TEMPORARY HOUSING FOR UNWANTED AND STRAY ANIMALS WHILE ENSURING THEY RECEIVE APPROPRIATE MEDICAL CARE AND BEHAVIORAL SUPPORT. THIS BENEFITS THE COMMUNITY BY REDUCING THE NUMBER OF AT-LARGE ANIMALS THROUGH PROVIDING STRAYS WITH A SAFE PLACE TO GO RATHER THAN REMAINING LOOSE OR VULNERABLE. IT ALSO HELPS SUPPORT OVERBURDENED SHELTERS BY ACCEPTING ANIMAL TRANSFERS, WHICH ALLEVIATES OVERCROWDING AND REDUCES EUTHANASIA PRESSURES AT LARGER FACILITIES. IN ADDITION, THE ORGANIZATION ASSISTS COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO CAN NO LONGER CARE FOR THEIR PETS BY OFFERING RESPONSIBLE REHOMING OPTIONS THAT HELP PREVENT ABANDONMENT. THROUGH THESE EFFORTS, WE WORK TO MATCH ANIMALS WITH PERMANENT, LOVING FAMILIES, IMPROVE PUBLIC SAFETY, AND STRENGTHEN THE OVERALL ANIMAL WELFARE NETWORK THROUGHOUT OUR REGION. 84148 12224 BIBI FUND CREATED BY CCHS TO ENSURE EVERY ANIMAL HAS A FAIR CHANCE AT ADOPTION, THE BIBI FUND SUPPORTS PETS REQUIRING SPECIALIZED VETERINARY CARE.

IN 2025, COMMUNITY GENEROSITY CONTRIBUTED $12,224 IN DONATIONS AND $12,166 THROUGH AUCTION PROCEEDS, ALLOWING US TO INVEST $8,418 IN MEDICAL TREATMENT FOR ANIMALS WHOSE NEEDS ARE NOT INDIVIDUALLY ITEMIZED BUT DEEPLY MEANINGFUL. 2275 11311 TRAP NEUTER RETURN (TNR) IS AN EFFECTIVE, HUMANE METHOD FOR REDUCING THE NUMBER OF FREE ROAMING CATS AND IMPROVING PUBLIC SAFETY THROUGH RABIES VACCINATION. COLUMBIA COUNTY RESIDENTS WHO HAVE FERAL CATS ON THEIR PROPERTY CAN CONTACT CCHS TO ARRANGE SPAY/NEUTER SERVICES AND RABIES VACCINATIONS THROUGH OUR VETERINARY PARTNERS. RESIDENTS HUMANELY TRAP THE CATS AND BRING THEM TO ONE OF OUR PARTNERING VETERINARIANS, WHERE EACH CAT IS STERILIZED, VACCINATED, AND EAR TIPPEDA SMALL NOTCH IN THE LEFT EAR THAT IDENTIFIES THE CAT AS ALREADY ALTERED. AFTER TREATMENT, THE CATS ARE RETURNED TO THEIR ORIGINAL LOCATION. IN 2025, FORTY ONE CATS PARTICIPATED IN THE TNR PROGRAM. TNR OFFERS MANY BENEFITS. IT PREVENTS THE BIRTH OF ADDITIONAL UNWANTED LITTERS, REDUCES THE OVERALL NUMBER OF FREE ROAMING CATS, AND SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASES NUISANCE BEHAVIORS SUCH AS SPRAYING, YOWLING, AND FIGHTING. 472705 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 16 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 WI X THE ORGANIZATION 6087423666 N7768 INDUSTRIAL ROAD PORTAGE WI 53901 ANDREA VON HOFF PRESIDENT 3.50 X X 0 0 0 SANDRA BRUNT VICE PRESIDENT 4.50 X X 0 0 0 ANDY ANDERSON DIRECTOR 4.50 X 0 0 0 JESSICA HERBERT SECRETARY 0.50 X X 0 0 0 ERICA ZELLMER DIRECTOR 4.50 X 0 0 0 LUANN KAMPEN DIRECTOR 1.50 X 0 0 0 LISA SCHELL DIRECTOR 6.50 X 0 0 0 VICKI SUKOWSKI DIRECTOR 4.50 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 370281 50969 370281 ADOPTIONS 900099 77542 77542 GOVERNEMENT CONTRACT 900099 54294 54294 ANIMAL SPONSOR 900099 4324 4324 REDEMPTIONS 900099 3968 3968 SURRENDERS 900099 2970 2970 2406 2406 145504 46150 46150 19034 -19034 -19034 -19034 72941 3472 69469 69469 2812 1979 833 833 613203 127303 0 115619 X 291577 233262 58315 21132 16906 4226 10035 10035 5807 5807 667 667 4093 4093 234 234 25137 22623 2514 15854 14269 1585 ANIMAL CARE 145266 145266 UTILITIES 12524 11271 1253 GARBAGE PICK UP 8150 8150 VEHICLE EXPENSE 7228 7228 31626 13730 17896 579330 472705 106625 0 1022616 1291311 63 854900 518961 306554 335939 202739 0 1531909 1627313 32464 18622 32464 18622 X 1499445 1608691 1499445 1608691 1531909 1627313 33873 75373 0 X 0 0 0 X 202159 232868 273319 355469 370206 1434021 202159 232868 273319 355469 370206 1434021 1434021 94 2456 3093 7582 21308 34533 1468554 1229758 0.97650 0.99150 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 30000 30000 612577 424746 187831 212323 94215 118108 335939 X PART X, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION HAS EVALUATED FOR UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS.
