FOUNDED IN 1984, THE SANCTUARY WAS CREATED ON ONE SIMPLE BELIEF: THAT EVERY PET HAS A LIFE WORTH SAVING. SINCE THEN, THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF ANIMALS HAVE FOUND REFUGE HERE AND RECEIVED LOVE AND OUTSTANDING CARE AS THEY SEARCH FOR GOOD HOMES. ON ANY GIVEN DAY, SOME 1,600 DOGS, CATS, BUNNIES, BIRDS, HORSES AND OTHER BARNYARD ANIMALS CALL THE SANCTUARY THEIR HOME BETWEEN HOMES, WITH EACH ANIMAL RECEIVING ALL THE AFFECTION AND CARE NEEDED TO HEAL, BOTH PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY. BEST FRIENDS IS COMMITTED TO FINDING LOVING HOMES FOR AS MANY ANIMALS AT THE SANCTUARY AS POSSIBLE.

THE PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED TO SAVE THE LIVES OF COMMUNITY (STRAY, FREE-ROAMING) CATS THROUGH TRAP-NEUTER-RETURN (TNR). TNR PROGRAMS TRAP, SPAY OR NEUTER AND VACCINATE COMMUNITY CATS AND THEN RETURN THEM TO THEIR OUTDOOR HOMES. OUR TNR PROGRAMS ARE CRUCIAL FOR SAVING LIVES BECAUSE CATS (ESPECIALLY COMMUNITY CATS) ARE AMONG THE MOST AT-RISK PETS IN SHELTERS. COMMUNITY CAT PROGRAMS ARE ACTIVE IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA; ATLANTA, GEORGIA; AND THE STATE OF UTAH. PLUS, BEST FRIENDS OPERATES A COMMUNITY CAT PROGRAM IN COLLABORATION WITH MADDIE'S FUND IN RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA, AND PROGRAMS IN COLLABORATION WITH PETSMART CHARITIES IN PIMA COUNTY, ARIZONA; PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA; AND COLUMBUS, GEORGIA. * BEST FRIENDS COMMUNITY CAT PROGRAM IN ATLANTA IS SAVING MORE LIVES THAN EVER. FROM JANUARY TO JUNE 2017, THE SAVE RATE FOR CATS AT THE COBB COUNTY SHELTER (LOCATED JUST OUTSIDE OF ATLANTA) WAS 94 PERCENT, WHICH IS WELL OVER THE 90 PERCENT NO-KILL THRESHOLD. * THROUGH A $62,000 COMMUNITY CAT MENTORSHIP FROM BEST FRIENDS, NETWORK PARTNERS ALLEN COUNTY SPCA, FORT WAYNE ANIMAL CARE AND HOPE FOR ANIMALS IN INDIANA, WERE ABLE TO WORK WITH THE COUNTY TO CHANGE AN ORDINANCE PREVENTING SHELTER-NEUTER-RETURN FOR CATS AND IMPLEMENT A NEW LARGE-SCALE COMMUNITY CAT PROGRAM. WITHIN THE FIRST FOUR MONTHS OF THE PROGRAM, 574 COMMUNITY CATS WERE SPAYED OR NEUTERED. * BEST FRIENDS CELEBRATED 26 LEGISLATIVE WINS FOR COMMUNITY CATS (11 CITY, FIVE COUNTY, AND NINE STATE). THAT MEANS FEWER CATS WILL ENTER SHELTERS IN THE FUTURE AND COUNTLESS LIVES WILL BE SAVED. * THE NUMBER OF COMMUNITY CATS SPAYED OR NEUTERED THROUGH BEST FRIENDS PROGRAMS TOTALED 59,016 IN FISCAL YEAR 2017.
