PACT's 2008 Year in Review

PACT believes that basically all animals are adoptable.  PACT accepts animals most other organizations would not, including those over the age of 7 years, and those with special needs.  While PACT negotiates with veterinarians for the

lowest possible prices, special needs cats require more veterinary care than healthy ones.

We hope that our performance inspires you to help us in our mission.   Make a donation today!

2008 Statistics

 
Intakes 420
Adoptions 400

49% of our 2008 intakes were from municipal/kill shelters. See detail in the chart below.

2008 Partnership Successes

While we do not have a dog adoption program, we form strategic alliances with other organizations to make a greater impact in animal welfare than we could on our own.   This year, we helped to facilitate 52 dogs adoptions for Vermilion County Department of Animal Welfare by providing volunteers to help show their dogs for adoption at our Petsmart adoption centers.

 

 On average, about 90% of our expenses go toward veterinary care. 
We have no paid staff.  We have no building to maintain.

We are all about the animals.

NOTES:

Of the 400 adoptions we did in 2008, 286 of those were new intakes from 2008, 114 of those cats had been with us prior to 2008.

We only euthanize when a cat is suffering beyond remedy and cannot be saved -- the same as we would our own cats at home.
