Editor's Notes
- Where your shelter was in 2012? Whatever you want to say about that, whether show an image, show your numbers, describe how it felt, etc.
- 5 interventions that got you from there to here – could be a big thing like implementing RTF or discontinuing field pickups of stray cats, or a small thing like switching spay/neuter age to 6 weeks or changing the language on your website about neonates. Put in data (Intake, live release and/or euthanasia) or not – totally up to you!
- A little more detail on one of those interventions – we schemed so that each panelist can talk about something different: Carly – RTF/not picking up healthy strays Anthea – Portals! Emily – Managed intake/Intake diversion Bryn – Fee waived adoptions Delany – TBD
- Where you are today? Again, could be numbers, image, how it feels, etc. Could talk about What one thing is next on your list to tackle? – but you don’t need to if you don’t have time
- Where your shelter was in 2012? Whatever you want to say about that, whether show an image, show your numbers, describe how it felt, etc. 428 cats in care Aug 28th. Peak that year was well over 500 cats and kittens in care at one time!

- Where your shelter was in 2012? Whatever you want to say about that, whether show an image, show your numbers, describe how it felt, etc. This picture depicts pretty accurately how things looked and felt in 2012. We had no portals, no return to field program, and I think the cats were all sitting there wondering when we were going to figure out that they really were doing just fine Almost 43,000 intakes Almost 18,000 cats Less than 2,800 positive outcomes for cats Live Release Rate: about 15%
- Notes: Foster placements up 121% (from 502 to 1,110 cats/kittens) Transfer Placements up 1,500% (from 44 to 697 cats/kittens) Positive Placements in 2012: 2,774 Positive Placements in 2017: 5,425 96% increase Euthanasia 2012: 14,141 Euthanasia 2017: 1,918 86% decrease
