In July 2024, we opened the Cat Box Adoption Center, a transformational new adoption facility that provides safe and soothing spaces for kitties awaiting adoption. This facility is truly innovative with both cage free rooms and rooms with cage banks, two kitten rooms, and two Hair BnB rooms for cats that need a little personal space. Truly, any cat that comes into our shelter will have a space in which they can thrive until they find their forever homes. Unfortunately, Mother Nature hit us hard during Hurricane Milton. The Cat Box had marked water intrusion, shutting the building down for over a month while we worked on water and mold remediation. We recovered and reopened the facility on Black Friday, 2024. Also in 2024, we merged our return-to-field (RTF) and trap neuter vaccinate return (TNVR) programs under the MEOW Now umbrella making it much easier for our community to understand the programs as we renamed them to self-trapping (RTF) and assisted-trapping (TNVR). 1779645 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true true true true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false true false false true false false false false false false false false true 33 0 true 46 true false false false false false true true false false false false false false X 9 8 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false FL X Sandra Oliva 7275226566 2911 47th Avenue North Saint Petersburg FL 33714 Eve Epstein Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Arin Greenwood Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ben Kirby Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Rosa Lopez Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Michael McKenny Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Barry Rubin Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sarah Penner Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Cathy Unruh Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mo Eppley Chair 2.00 X X 11218 0 0 Alison Barlow Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Dara Worthington CEO 40.00 X 94533 0 0 105751 0 0 false false false 125870 1733041 26908 1858911 Adoptions 812910 166379 0 0 Clinic services 541940 9437 0 0 175816 216028 0 216028 14088 14088 14088 14088 55544 125870 98760 -43216 0 -43216 14446 9576 4870 4870 Insurance proceeds 900099 47909 47909 0 0 Copier rebate 900099 5920 5920 0 0 Old checks written off 900099 1702 1702 0 0 55531 2282028 231347 0 191770 94233 0 51048 43185 1265917 1033714 101425 130778 41876 31826 4694 5356 110833 84233 12424 14176 13736 0 13736 0 0 0 0 0 304 256 48 0 50441 19279 30149 1013 53161 52929 232 0 75278 75278 0 0 72421 18625 53796 0 Medical 225001 223695 1306 0 Donated supplies 26908 4445 0 22463 Shelter 220412 210183 10229 0 Postage & printing 11171 6900 4093 178 59189 18282 28484 12423 2320881 1779645 311664 229572 185898 193976 1023948 896782 373798 83866 154486 38036 18006 3767444 673714 2921277 3093730 1017883 1117865 2854 25559 5563694 5584270 28745 45170 20997 4842 26849 33587 93016 X 4034655 4208095 1495452 1283159 5530107 5491254 5563694 5584270 -38853 X false true X true false X 0 2970154 2325660 1340335 1337707 1858911 9832767 0 0 2970154 2325660 1340335 1337707 1858911 9832767 2288625 7544142 81669 141946 -145099 211933 216028 506477 0 8858 6 701 55531 65096 10404340 0.72510 0.68680 X 0 0 0 Pt II Ln 10 Other Income Part II, Line 10 Description: Miscellaneous 2020: 8858. 2021: 6. 2022: 701.
