ADOPTION CENTER: THE ADOPTION CENTER TAKES IN CATS WHO HAVE LOST THEIR HOMES AND WORKS TO FIND THEM A NEW HOME. THE CENTER HOUSES 50 CATS IN SHELTER AND 35 CATS IN FOSTER CARE. WE DO NOT DISCRIMINATE AGAINST AGE, SIZE, OR BREED. ANIMEALS CHARGES A ONE-TIME ADOPTION FEE THAT INCLUDES SPAY/NEUTER, DE-WORMING, MICRO-CHIP, AND VACCINATIONS. ANIMEALS ACCEPTS ANY CAT IN IMMINENT DANGER. ANIMEALS OPERATES A WORKING CAT RELOCATION PROGRAM TO PROVIDE HOMES TO CATS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE PERPETUALLY HOMELESS OR KILLED IN OTHER SHELTERS. IN 2024, ANIMEALS TOOK IN 386 CATS. OF THIS TOTAL 10 CATS WERE TAKEN IN FROM OTHER SHELTERS, 19 WERE TAKEN TO OTHER SHELTERS, AND 5 CATS WERE LATER RECLAIMED BY THEIR OWNERS. ADDITIONALLY, ANIMEALS WAS ABLE TO PLACE 339 CATS IN NEW HOMES. ALL 339 CATS WERE SPAYED/NEUTERED. ANIMEALS ALSO MAINTAINS A "HONEY FUND" WHICH PROVIDES MONEY TO PEOPLE IN NEED WHO CANNOT AFFORD THEIR VETERINARY BILLS. TO RECEIVE ASSISTANCE, ANIMEALS ACCEPTS REFERRALS DIRECTLY FROM VETERINARIANS. DURING 2024, ANIMEALS SPENT $8,142 FROM THE HONEY FUND ON 34 HOUSEHOLDS. ANIMEALS PLAN IS TO BE ABLE TO ACQUIRE LAND TO BUILD A NEW SHELTER WHERE THE ORGANIZATION CAN MORE ADEQUATELY FULFILL THE NEEDS OF THE HOMELESS AND HUNGRY ANIMALS WE SERVE.
