The community issues of cat overpopulation cannot be achieved through the adoption process. It must be accomplished through sterilization of the existing community cat population. This is a comprehensive and successful approach that has been proven to be effective throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. In addition to sterilization, cats are vaccinated and under the daily feeding and care of volunteer caregivers. For the Love of Cats works with Domestic Animal Services in Collier County to adhere to the TNR ordinance currently in place. To date, For the Love of Cats has TNRd over 4400 cats. Volunteer caregivers feed and care for many cats throughout Collier County every day. In 2024, For the Love of Cats TNRd over 240 stray, feral and community cats and took 270 additional cats and kittens off of the streets which was over twice what we accomplished in 2023. 91196 Help em Keep em Urgent Care for Cats of Low-Income FamiliesMany families of the underserved communities have pets that need urgent veterinary attention and would be forced to allow their pet to suffer or be euthanized without this program. Over the last few years, we paid for numerous amounts of dental extractions, knee surgeries, leg surgeries, whole body infections, eye removals, and skin issues. For the Love of Cats is the only rescue organization in Collier County offering this invaluable program that also covers wellness exams for senior cats and cats with non-emergency illnesses from low-income families. To date, we have saved the lives of over 720 cats. Our program increased over 30% from 2023 to 2024. 89636 Public Outreach- Our Public Outreach Program is to educate and inform the members of the community about For the Love of Cats and the issues and complications that community cat overpopulation can present throughout Collier County. Our Outreach Program includes Farmers Markets, Tabling Events, In-store Events and other public promotional platforms that allow us to speak directly to the public about the county ordinances, policies and actions surrounding community cat management as well as educating the public about our programs and solutions we have available to the community. 26040 Help em Keep em Spay Neuter Program (replaces Rescue/Foster Program)Our Low Income Spay/Neuter program pays for sterilization surgery and rabies vaccinations for cats and kittens owned by the underserved families of Collier County. These cats and kittens would otherwise be abandoned without this service. These abandoned pets then adversely contribute to the already overwhelming free roaming community cat population throughout the county. Although Collier County has a program for outdoor community cats, many low-income families need help with education, guidance and resources for basic spay/neuter. To date, For the Love of Cats has helped over 668 families with spay/neuter assistance. In 2024, this program increased 300% indicating the huge increase in need for this program throughout Collier County. 7000 7000 Scholarship ProgramWithout adequate staffing of veterinarians, veterinary technicians and veterinary assistants for animal hospitals, clinics and emergency facilities in Collier County, the rescue and animal welfare organizations lose their ability to make a difference in the lives of abandoned pets in need. Spay and neuter is put on hold, injured animals go untreated, lives are lost. Our scholarship program is designed to mentor students interested in pursuing a career in veterinary medicine with the anticipation that they will bring their skills back home to the needs in Southwest Florida. Funded through the support of business sponsorship, the FGCU Scholarship will be awarded to students chosen by FGCU and mentored by For the Love of Cats and the local veterinary community. 33040 7000 341094 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 4 0 true 5 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 6 5 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true false false false FL X Janet Rich 2396428674 4915 Rattlesnake Hammock Rd 230 Naples FL 34113 X Janet Rich President 55.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 James Rich Vice President 55.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Ann Daly Treasurer 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Melody Kappauf Secretary 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Bobbie Confer Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kimberly McIntosh Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 448399 448399 0 50873 50873 0 0 0 4752 4752 4752 4752 0 0 0 0 504024 4752 50873 7000 7000 0 0 0 0 0 206751 141589 13125 52037 0 15126 13055 149 1922 17172 13339 1705 2128 0 0 2766 2212 277 277 0 0 0 1185 866 131 188 633 633 8082 5167 2915 12142 8500 1821 1821 0 5418 4334 542 542 0 0 12 12 0 0 8365 8365 9811 8830 981 Programs 122418 122418 Vehicle repair and maintenance 4899 4899 Credit card fees 3175 3175 Employee development 2740 2740 4519 2034 1344 1141 432214 341094 31064 60056 160400 188046 22616 12420 0 3344 0 0 0 0 0 0 77520 12025 31720 65495 1043814 1065816 0 0 0 1 0 1261895 1331777 7027 3643 7027 3643 X 1254868 1328134 1254868 1328134 1261895 1331777 71810 1456 X false false false X 179157 371010 295834 309694 448399 1604094 0 0 179157 371010 295834 309694 448399 1604094 46375 1557719 9320 11042 36504 52173 55625 164664 0 0 1768758 0.88070 0.91540 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 77520 12025 65495 65495 false FGCU Foundation 10501 FGCU Blvd S Fort Myers FL 33965 501 C3 7000 0 Scholarship Fund 1 0 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 James and Janet Rich are husband and wife Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The Form 990 is reviewed by the Board President and Treasurer, and then sent to the entire Board for review at a Board meeting.
