We also save lives by supporting pet owners with low-cost spay/neuter and other medical services at the Heaven on Earth Veterinary Clinic. And, we help the community by facilitating the spay/neuter of community and owned cats through our Spay Ship transportation program. Our work saves lives, builds loving families, and supports local communities. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March of 2020, Heaven on Earth made several significant changes to our life-saving programs and fundraising methodologies to continue to save the lives of cats and kittens in LA, ensure all of our staff remained employed, and raise critical funds to continue to be financially viable. As a result of the pandemic, local area animal shelters were forced to either drastically limit services or close altogether.

While the COVID-19 pandemic forced the closure of Perrys Place for most of 2020, Heaven on Earth continued to build loving families by introducing cats and kittens to potential adopters via virtual meet-and-greet sessions. Placements into our foster-to-adopt program, which provides flexibility for those considering adopting, increased during the pandemic as many families were home for the majority of the year. Likewise, the number of cats spending time in our foster-hospice program, which allows our elderly and chronically ill cats to live out their lives with a loving family also increased over 2019. In 2020, Heaven on Earth adopted 603 cats and kittens into loving homes and placed 554 cats and kittens into foster homes. At Perrys Place, we provide on-site veterinary care to cats and kittens with medical conditions, momma cats with litters, and underaged kittens. Our medical team of veterinarians, trained staff, and volunteers treat cats and kittens in separate isolation areas including wards designated for maternity, treatment of ringworm, and treatment of panleukopenia. Medical protocols for all cats and kittens are overseen by our staff veterinarians and are adhered to by our professional caretaking staff. In 2020, despite the pandemic, our professional veterinary team continued to provide high-quality care to the cats and kittens at Perrys Place. They performed 2,370 on-site veterinary examinations, provided 2,390 vaccinations, administered 30,893 treatments, and conducted 2,508 diagnostic tests. As a result of these life-saving efforts, Heaven on Earths 2020 Live Release Rate for all cats and kittens in our care was 94.3%. In collaboration with Los Angeles Animal Services, we run the Heaven on Earth Animal Clinic at the West Valley Animal Shelter where we contract to alter adoptable shelter animals. We also support local communities by providing no or low-cost spay/neuter services to owned animals through the Citys voucher program and low-cost services to the public including wellness and vaccine clinics. We assist other LA area dog and cat rescue organizations by providing discounted services to animals in their care. Even though the pandemic forced the closure of the clinic for over six weeks and the West Valley shelter for the majority of the year, our professional veterinary team performed 2,628 spay/neuter surgeries, a 25% increase over 2019. Of the total surgeries, 505 were for adoptable Heaven on Earth cats. Also, 38 specialty surgeries were performed to help Heaven on Earth cats to become adoptable. Our team supported the surgical needs of dogs and cats for 14 LA area rescue groups. Our SpayShip Transport Program helps communities by assisting caregivers with the spay/neuter of community and owned cats. This free service provides transport for surgery and educates the public about caring for community cats. In 2020, we facilitated the spay/neuter of 750 cats through this program. Since its inception, the program has helped 8,000 + cats and their caregivers. 1142625 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 5 0 true 34 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 11 11 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X Heaven on Earth Society 8184742700 7342 Fulton Avenue North Hollywood CA 91605 X Shannon Asquish Executive Director 40.00 0.00 56224 0 0 Suzanne Lofland Co-Chair 6.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Erendira Cronkhite Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 John Gregory Treasurer 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jennifer Parsignault Secretary 15.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Colleen Friend Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Susie Yoo Co-Chair 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Melissa Godlash Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Eli Pessar Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Paul Jacques Vice Chair 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Lisa Medwid Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Robin Wohlford Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 56224 0 false false false 0 63278 893183 956461 0 0 0 0 0 0 14058 63278 14058 0 0 0 In-Kind Goods (Food) 31121 31121 31121 987582 31121 0 0 0 0 56224 28112 14056 14056 0 779331 659623 22899 96809 0 52865 42292 3172 7401 71437 57150 4286 10001 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1366 1093 82 191 0 0 0 0 0 0 13759 13759 0 42460 33968 2548 5944 75401 60321 4524 10556 Pet Food & Supplies 87213 87213 Pet Medical 67041 67041 Clinic Services 41697 41697 Utilities 19395 15516 1164 2715 82263 48599 11923 21741 1390452 1142625 78413 169414 146831 40659 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4000 0 1009507 266922 785045 742585 0 0 0 0 0 935876 783244 24672 53822 10000 222337 225652 207773 247009 497247 X 688867 285997 688867 285997 935876 783244 -402870 X false false false X 745386 847907 1107053 1258157 956461 4914964 0 0 0 0 745386 847907 1107053 1258157 956461 4914964 0 0 4914964 100 100 0 100 100 0 55001 41623 39437 31121 167182 745486 902908 1148676 1297594 987582 5082246 0.96710 0.97070 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 400000 400000 290000 86197 203803 221807 121592 100215 97700 59133 38567 742585 SBA/EIDL 10000 SBA/PPP Loan 197773 207773 X X X X X X false Virtual Comedy Event 55578 41520 14058 14058 Giving Tuesday 21758 21758 77336 63278 14058 14058 14058 Eri Cronkhite Board Membe Loan X 10000 10000 false true true 10000 Schedule L, Part V Supplemental Information Eri Cronkhite - Member of the Board of Directors loaned the organization $10,000 Form 990, Part VI, Line 2: Description of Business or Family Relationship of Officers, Directors, Et Suzanne Lofland,Co-Chair of the Board & Leandra Lawrence, Perry's Place Clinical Director are a married couple.

Covid-19 The COVID-19 pandemic had a devastating impact on the US economy and the nonprofit sector. The financial impact to Heaven on Earth was a loss of $402,870. Specific losses included $325,000 in foundation grants, $56,000 in in-person event income, and $134,000 in lost revenue at the Heaven on Earth clinic. Medical expenses came in $42,000 over budget due to the City of Los Angeles not issuing low-cost vouchers for cats and kittens that were found on the streets and that did not go through their shelter system due to being closed. Heaven on Earth offset losses by adding 550 new donors and attracting 80 lapsed donors back to the organization after not giving for at least two years. A total of 2,759 gifts were made which was an increase of 67% over the 1,652 gifts made in 2019. As a result, individual giving came in at $302,430 an almost 60% increase and almost $113,000 over the budget of $189,500. Adoptions income came in at $45,711, an increase of almost $27,000 and over 2.5 times the budget of $19,000. Despite the pandemic, the Heaven on Earth clinic saw a 10% increase in income over 2019. To ensure that all staff remained employed, a Paycheck Protection Plan loan for $197,772 and Economic Injury and Disaster Loan Advance for $10,000 were secured.
