We also provide pet food to low income people and cat food for feral cats. We find homes for pets when their homeless owners can no longer care for them. We conduct numerous spay/neuter programs in various areas in Southern California. Basic Needs Foundation Accomplishments for 2020:Basic Needs Foundation provides people food and pet food for very low-income working homeless individuals who live in their vehicles with their children and pets. The average income for these families is $475 per month. Most of these homeless individuals can only find part-time jobs in low-paying retail positions.Many animals are abandoned or surrendered to city and county shelters, because their low-income owners cannot afford to feed their pets. They have lost their jobs, their homes go into foreclosure and these families are evicted with no other options. Our Foundation alleviates the financial and physical burden on city and county animal shelters, and also on taxpayers, by providing pet food to enable low-income individuals to keep their pets.Restricted grants from animal welfare foundations allow us to offer free spaying & neutering, and Trap/Neuter/Release (TNR) of feral cats to low income, homeless pet owners and feral cat feeders in several rural communities.We altered 351 dogs, cats and feral cats in 2020. We adopted out 48 pets in 2020 to their forever homes. Due to COVID-19, we were not able to use adoption sites such as Global Pet Food, PetCo, and American Family PetExpo in Costa Mesa, CA. Instead we began using Zoom and online to meet at Wilson Park in Torrance, CA when adopters are qualified using online applications and vet/home checks (with masks on).We also subsidized critical veterinary care for low-income pet owners on a case by case basis. We re-homed 51 semi-feral and feral cats to the Barn cat program.The Barn Cat Program is a way to provide a second chance to semi-feral and feral cats. They are fully vetted cats and placed within barns, farm structures, outbuildings, factories and warehouses. In a symbiotic relationship, cats receive shelter, fresh water and a regular food supply and keep mice and rats out of these facilities. They may eat rats and mice, who bring diseases and destruction to supplies, but the presence of cats also deters rats from coming nearby. This is because cats mark their territory by simply rubbing up against things, and even this scent of a cat can make rats scatter. The Fix Your Pets program has altered over 3,969 pets and community and feral cats since August, 2011, via Mobile Spay & Neuter Clinics, nonprofit discount spay & neuter clinics such as Critters Without Litters, and traditional clinics such as CalCity Pet Clinic and 4 Paws Pet Hospital.We are very grateful for your kind support of our organization and ask that you donate to our causes at https://www.basicneedsfoundation.org. 84617 84617 Nhutdung N Adolfo President 42.00 0 Elaine Adolfo Secretary 1.00 0 Creed A Raftery Director 1.00 0 Catherine Hunter Director 1.00 0 false false false false false false false 0 0 0 false 0 0 false Nhutdung Adolfo 439 East 247th Street Carson CA 907456536 3233252712 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 160029 59968 72447 99848 71970 464262 0 0 160029 59968 72447 99848 71970 464262 198015 266247 41 13 8 14 18 94 0 20 20 464376 30545 0.57330 0.67790 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Other Expenses.1 Animal Care Costs $83626 Other Expenses.2 Program Services $955 Other Expenses.3 Bank Charges $60 Other Expenses.4 Taxes and Licenses $50 Other Expenses.5 Telephone and Internet $45
