Desc	MERRIMACK RIVER FELINE RESCUE SOCIETY'S ADOPTION PROGRAM FINDS LOVING HOMES FOR BOTH KITTENS AND ADULT CATS. SINCE INCEPTION IN 1992, WE HAVE PLACED OVER 25,000 CATS IN HOMES. MRFRS IS A "NO KILL" SHELTER AND COMMITS TO NEVER EUTHANIZE A FELINE DUE TO THE FOLLOWING REASONS: THEIR AGE; LACK OF SPACE IN THE SHELTER OR FOSTER HOMES; THE LENGTH OF STAY IN OUR CARE; OR FOR BEHAVORIAL REASONS. MRFRS WILL STILL PRACTICE HUMANE EUTHANASIA WHEN THE QUALITY-OF-LIFE PROGRNOSIS FOR A CAT IS NEGATIVE. MOST CATS ARE KEPT IN A CAGE-FREE ENVIRONMENT. CATS ARE ACCEPTED FROM SURROUNDING TOWNS WITHOUT REGARD FOR AGE OR HEALTH. WE ALSO ACCEPT ANY CAT THAT WE PREVIOUSLY ADOPTED OUT THAT IS RETURNED TO US, REGARDLESS OF HEALTH OR AGE. GRANTS AND DONATIONS COVER THE COST OF VETERINARY CARE, VACCINATIONS, NEUTERING, FOOD AND SHELTER. WE OFFER EDUCATION FOR THE PUBLIC ON THE BENEFITS OF SPAYING/NEUTERING, AS WELL AS ON CAT BEHAVIORAL ISSUES.	Desc

FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A	MERRIMACK RIVER FELINE RESCUE SOCIETY'S ADOPTION PROGRAM FINDS LOVING HOMES FOR BOTH KITTENS AND ADULT CATS. SINCE INCEPTION IN 1992, WE HAVE PLACED OVER 25,000 CATS IN HOMES. MRFRS IS A "NO KILL" SHELTER AND COMMITS TO NEVER EUTHANIZE A FELINE DUE TO THE FOLLOWING REASONS: THEIR AGE; LACK OF SPACE IN THE SHELTER OR FOSTER HOMES; THE LENGTH OF STAY IN OUR CARE; OR FOR BEHAVORIAL REASONS. MRFRS WILL STILL PRACTICE HUMANE EUTHANASIA WHEN THE QUALITY-OF-LIFE PROGRNOSIS FOR A CAT IS NEGATIVE. MOST CATS ARE KEPT IN A CAGE-FREE ENVIRONMENT. CATS ARE ACCEPTED FROM SURROUNDING TOWNS WITHOUT REGARD FOR AGE OR HEALTH. WE ALSO ACCEPT ANY CAT THAT WE PREVIOUSLY ADOPTED OUT THAT IS RETURNED TO US, REGARDLESS OF HEALTH OR AGE. GRANTS AND DONATIONS COVER THE COST OF VETERINARY CARE, VACCINATIONS, NEUTERING, FOOD AND SHELTER. WE OFFER EDUCATION FOR THE PUBLIC ON THE BENEFITS OF SPAYING/NEUTERING, AS WELL AS ON CAT BEHAVIORAL ISSUES.
FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4D	MRFRS'S CAPTAIN COURAGEOUS FUND (CCF) ASSISTS WITH THE COST OF VETERINARY CARE FOR FREE-ROAMING CATS THAT ARE SICK OR INJURED TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF THEIR LIVES. MRFRS ALSO HOLDS PERIODIC CLINICS TO SPAY/NEUTER FERAL CATS THAT HAVE BEEN TRAPPED OR RESCUED BY AREA VOLUNTEERS TO HELP PREVENT THE EXPANSION OF THE FERAL CAT POPULATION IN THE AREA. TO DATE, THE CLINICS HAVE FIXED OVER 15,000 FERAL FELINES, PREVENTING THOUSANDS OF UNWANTED LITTERS.
