2008 Mid-Year Shelter Statistics

2008 is proving to be a great year for the cats at CAT.

It is half way through the year and CAT is maintaining a 14 percent higher adoption rate than 2007. These statistics tell a hopeful tale. CAT’s adoption program is quite successful this year even with more cats and kittens coming to the shelter for assistance. And CAT’s nine adoption outreach locations are really having an impact. CAT brings felines right to your neighborhood and more are finding their new families through these off-site locations. Spay/neuter programs across the city seem to be making a dent in the over population of cats as we see a slight decrease in the number of kittens and pregnant mom cats coming into the foster care program.

Here are some quick mid-year statistics (as of June 8, 2008):

Adoptions: 

1311 cats/kittens
14% higher than mid-year 2007
299 of these adoptions were from adoption outreach
18% higher than last year

Intake:

1563 cats/kittens have sought help from CAT
16% more than mid-year 2007

Felines in Foster:

317 cats/kittens in foster homes
3% less than mid-year 2007
