THE ORGANIZATION WAS FORMED IN EARLY 2023, AND HAS A VERY SUCCESSFUL FEREL CAT SPADE/NEUTER PROGRAM. THE BOARD HAS BEEN MEETING MONTHLY SINCE THAT TIME. WE ARE SEEKING GRANTS, AND PRIVATE DONORS TO RAISE THE FUNDS TO BUILD A MODEST BUT EFFECTIVE ANIMAL SHELTER & RESCUE.
SEE IMAGES OF THE PROPOSED BUILDING AND AMENITIES BELOW.
PROGRAMS FOR THE GREATER HANCOCK NY AREA INCLUDE: ADOPTION, NEUTERING, CATCH & RELEASE, PUBLIC HEALTH TESTING, AND GENERAL ANIMAL CONTROL. WE WANT TO INCLUDE VETERINARY SERVICES THAT HELP TO PAY FOR THE BUILDING MAINTENANCE. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE UNDERTAKING, REQUIRING MANY VOLUNTEERS, & MEETING THE LEGAL STANDARDS FOR ANIMAL WELFARE IN NYS AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
WE DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE A FACILITY, BUT WE ARE LOOKING TO AQUIRE LAND THROUGH A LAND LICENSE OR BUY LAND DEPENDING ON THE AMOUNT OF TOTAL FUNDRAISING, AND THEN USE GRANT MONIES TO BUILD A BUILDING OR PURCHASE A MODULAR UNIT THAT MEETS OUR NEEDS. FUNDRAISERS ARE ONGOING, AND DONATIONS CAN BE MADE DIRECTLY OR IN PERSON AT NBT BANK (HANCOCK BRANCH), OR VIA THIS GOFUNDME ACCOUNT. GOFUND ME LINK: https://www.gofundme.com/f/3bjskj
