Primary Exempt PurposeWe provide food for homeless people who live in their vehicles with their children and pets. 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.PrimaryExemptPurposeTxt

Basic Needs Foundation Accomplishments for 2019:Basic Needs Foundation provides 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 and most of these homeless individuals can only find part-time jobs in low-paying retail positions.Many animals are abandoned or surrendered to city/county shelters because their low-income owners cannot afford to feed their pets. These pet owners have lost their jobs and their homes go into foreclosure and many are evicted with no other options. Our Foundation alleviates the financial and physical burden on city/county animal shelters and on taxpayers by providing pet food to enable low income individuals to keep their pets.Restricted grants from animal welfare foundations allowed 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 spayed, neutered and trap/neuter/released 452 dogs and domestic and feral cats this year. We found forever homes for 82 dogs, puppies and cats successfully. These pets were surrendered to Basic Needs Foundation as their homeless owners could not keep them any longer. We subsidized critical veterinary care for low income pet owners on a case by case basis. Community support and multiple grants from foundations provide the first step in positive change for the life of working homeless families and their pets.We re-homed 45 semi-feral and feral cats to the "Barn Cat Program", which is a dual-benefit way to provide a second chance to these cats and for the humans that adopt them. They are fully vetted cats and are placed within barns, farm structures, outbuildings, factories and warehouses. Cats receive shelter, fresh water and a regular food supply, and are very useful in keeping mice and rats out of these facilities, thus benefiting the adopters. While they may or may not eat what they catch, they are a great deterrence against rodents because they mark their territory by simply rubbing up against things. Even this scent of a cat can make mice and rats scatter and thereby reduce or eliminate the diseases and destruction to supplies that they can bring or cause.We are very grateful for your kind support of our organization and ask that you donate to our causes at https://www.basicneedsfoundation.org.$62,484
