| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description | OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: ACR routinely publishes newsletters and other mailing to disseminate information about ACR and what they are doing in the community.In 2015, ACR published Alley Cat Rescues Guide to Managing Community Cats by Louise Holton. This handbook provides and abundance of scientific evidence dispelling misinformation, a how-to guide for implementing TNR, a guide of zoonotic diseases, and much more helpful information regarding community cats. Distributed to more than 6,000 people, organizations and local and national government officials.ACR created the first ever fact sheet on proper feral cat colony management procedures.Over 250,000 Pet Trust brochures have been distributed to assist individuals with the planning for long-term care of their pets.ACRs educational and informative Newsletters have won many awards from the Cat Writers Association for numerous years. This publication is distributed to 80,000 members annually and has a reach of over 200,000.Action Alerts are distributed by ACRs communications team to notify the public of animal welfare situations needing attention in the U.S., and internationally. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: For many years, ACR has been engaged in promoting humane solutions to resolving the complex issues of cat overpopulation, especially those relating to feral cats. They are often classified as "non-native" species, despite that they have been living in a feral state in the United States for almost 500 years. Their programs and campaigns to end the killing of healthy stray and feral cats in local shelters are diverse. They range from actual, hands-on trapping and sterilization of cats, to running low-cost spay clinics for companion cats, as well as promoting education and public relations to help cats. They are constantly working to put an end to the myths and misinformation surrounding these innocent creatures. When cats are considered nothing more than "pests" and "nuisances," this current trend of scapegoating dangerously fosters and promotes cruelty to animals. ACR believes that ALL animals, whether "exotic," "alien," or "introduced," deserve respect and compassion, and if humane, non-lethal methods for controlling their populations are offered, then these should be the preferred methods--instead of out-dated, inhumane, lethal eradication techniques.ACRs Community Cat Outreach Program provides free training to citizens, municipalities, and animal control officers on proper cat care and TNR procedures. This year trainings were conducted in West Virginia, North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland.ACR conducted the first ever feral cat survey. The results showed that feral cats in managed colonies live good, long lives. Some feral cats live until they are between 8 and 14 years old.In 2015, ACR has conducted a second feral cat survey. The results published in 2016 showed more cat groups reported that animal control agencies now approve of TNR. Groups are also working better with local governments. Our education and advocacy efforts are succeeding in spreading awareness to policy makers. Groups reported that there are now smaller colony sizes bolstering the fact that TNR is effective in reducing outdoor cat populations. Results also show that 94% of groups report colony cats are aged 6 years and older, refuting the notion that outdoor cats can only have short, harsh livesACR Supports and promotes the SOI Dogs Foundation mission to end the suffering and torture animals in the Asian cat and dog meat trade.ACR staff members provide hands on job training to blind and deaf students of both Gallaudet University and The ARC School.ACR staff mentored and provided hands on job training to Bladensburg High School student interns.ACR has an ongoing partnership presenting to Friends Community School elementary students on importance of showing compassion & kindness to all animals, proper cat care procedures,and spay/neuter.ACR works with Pre-vet students at the University of Maryland, giving some paid internships at our office to teach them hands-on cat care and non-profit admin work. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: National Cat Action Teams, or CAT, assist groups and individuals to help domestic and feral cats. ACR provides a nationwide listing of groups and organizations, organized by state, for the benefit of interested parties who would like to help with feral cats in their area. The listing provides the name of the organization and a link to the website as well as telephone numbers and email addresses when available.ACRs network of feral colony caretakers called National Cat Action Teams on listed on our website and they provide an open line of communication between rescue groups and cat caretakers and the publics across the country. Each group received copies of ACRs Guide to Managing Community Cats to ensure they can provide assistance and resources across the country.ACR Staff attends conferences across the United States to help us provide the most up-to-date advances in research on cats, and the most current methods of health care to share with others to help felines everywhere. Also, to provide the public with the most pertinent information regarding proper cat care, humane population control, zoonotic disease prevention, and humane treatment of all animals. |
