PACT's 2007 Statistics

PACT's 2007 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!

NOTES:

The noted 447 adoptions means cats both taken into PACT and adopted out during calendar year 2007. The total number of 526 adoptions in calendar year 2007 includes 447 cats taken in during 2007, and 79 taken in prior to 2007.

We only euthanize when a cat is suffering beyond remedy and cannot be saved -- the same as we would our own cats at home. Most of the cats euthanized in 2007 were kittens who died in litters of 5-6 from panleukopenia (distemper) immediately after they were rescued from the streets, while they were still being processed by the animal control facility.
