      <Description>In 2012, the shelter rescued 172 cats during 2011 and adopted out 377 cats which included cats that already resided in the shelter. In addition, approximately 70 cats with special needs such as diabetes, feline leukemia and feline immune deficiency were medically treated and cared for. The shelter helps the community through a TNR (trap-neuter-release) program by providing traps so feral cats can be humanely caught and sterilized. This reduces the amount of unwanted, homeless cats within the community. The shelter also participates in the Food for People's Pets program which provided pet food to needy families facing financial hardships.</Description>
