Program includes public adoption events almost every weekend, best practices screening, refundable adoption fee upon request, and requirement that the animal be returned to CAWS, at any time, if the adoption does not work out. Follow-up contact is made on adoptions. We have taken back animals that have been in adoptive homes for more than 8 years. Expenses include veterinary care, spay/neuter, foster expenses, AVID FriendChip chips used to identify all CAWS pets, and boarding of animals when necessary. Revenue is adoption fees. 8292 0 0 SLIDING INCOME VOUCHER PROGRAM FOR SPAY/NEUTER AND VETERINARY CARE: CAWS provides a sliding income scale voucher program for animal spay/neuter procedure through a network of participating veterinarians. CAWS volunteers work with requesting pet owners to determine the amount they can contribute. The veterinarians provide a charitable rate, and CAWS covers the balance. CAWS has a similar program for pet owners whose pets need veterinary care, including care for abscesses, dental cleaning, and injuries. CAWS requires that the pet be altered, if health allows and the pet is not already altered, as part of the sliding income veterinary program, even if CAWS must cover that expense. This program also includes help with euthanasia costs if the animal is too injured or ill to be saved. 3155 0 0 CAWS RESCUE AID: At times people find a stray cat or dog and would like to bring it into their home, but the animal needs significant veterinary care. CAWS provides help using a sliding income scale voucher program. CAWS requires proof of a good faith effort to find the pet's owner, which includes posting fliers in the area and at local shelters, and having the animal placed at the shelter for the required time. After the noted actions have been taken, CAWS helps these people with costs that allow them to bring this animal into their family. During 2012, we helped approximately 30 people bring unclaimed animals into their homes, helping them with the costs of spay/neuter, vaccines, blood work for older cats, dental cleaning, and heartworm tests. 4486 0 0 FERAL CAT PROGRAM: Provides support for feral cat caregivers, including spay/neuter procedures, veterinary care for illnesses or injuries, vaccines, food, boarding, and euthanasia as humane for ill or injured feral cats. $2810, other expenses include liability insurance, $773, and travel to an animal welfare conference is $1339. 4486 0 0 154719 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 3 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X X Susan Allred 8013284731 516 13th Ave Salt Lake City UT 841033231 Susan Allred President 25 0 X X 0 0 0 Neila Jordan Vice President 30 0 X X 0 0 0 Steven Bulkley Secretary 30 0 X X 0 0 0 Janita Coombs Executive Director 50 0 X X 18000 0 0 18000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8841 0 0 0 0 135006 0 143847 Adoption Fees 812910 53258 53258 0 0 0 0 0 0 53258 65 0 0 65 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 197170 53258 0 65 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 18000 0 18000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1102 0 0 1102 570 0 570 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1339 1339 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 773 773 0 0 Foster and Adoption Program 138786 138786 0 0 Sliding Income Scale Veterinary Assistance 8292 8292 0 0 Feral Cat Program - Veterinary Care & Support 2374 2374 0 0 Animal Rescue 3155 3155 0 0 0 0 0 0 174391 154719 18570 1102 41660 63174 16140 17405 57800 80579 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 41660 63174 16140 17405 0 0 57800 80579 57800 80579 22779 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 63221 60429 69972 120177 143912 457711 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 63221 60429 69972 120177 143912 457711 457711 350 180 76 62 65 733 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 458444 0 0.99840 0.9968 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Email a PDF through the Urban 990 Program.
