Save Our Strays - A Non-profit Animal Organization We are a nonprofit no-kill animal organization operating since 1999 (although work began much earlier). This is a total volunteer organization operation under the direction of a Board of Directors. Funding is obtained primarily from personal donations, a part-time SOS thrift store, yearly silent auctions and seasonal garage sales. Not all of our cats are feral cats. In fact, many of our cats are house cats who were abandoned by their owners or whose owners passed away. Our volunteers work 7 days a week (rain, snow, freezing cold, sweltering heat) and into every night. These animals must be cared for every day, no matter what else is happening in our lives. This requires a very unique and dedicated love for animals! SOS receives over 100 calls every week from people seeking assistance for distressed animals. We advocate the Trap-Neuter-Return program (for more info, see Alley Cat Allies). So far, over 850 animals have found either permanent or foster homes, over 750 animals have received medical attention, and over 350 animals are fed and cared for every day. This attention requires an enormous amount of support in addition to personal time. Thousands of dollars are spent each month on food, medicine, cages, traps, rent, and Veterinary bills...and still more animals are being identified each day in need of assistance
