Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Free-roaming cats are a reality in all communities. The “catch and kill" mentality of the past has been replaced to some degree with trap-neuter-return (TNR). Overpopulation is a problem: for homeless cats, many who are starving as they fend for themselves; for shelters who have a too-high volume of homeless cats and whose money and space are stretched; for people who become angry when homeless cats dwell in their yards searching for food and shelter; for communities who need to spend millions of dollars investigating animal cruelty, humanely capturing stray cats, sheltering homeless cats, etc.; and for society in general when the plight of homeless animals is of low priority. Such disrespect for animal life needs to be replaced with care and compassion for these homeless cats, many who are suffering due to starvation and lack of medical care.
These free-roaming cats are in need of spay/neuter services and other medical intervention as needed.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Prevent A Litter (PAL)
PAL is a spay/neuter and vaccination voucher program for people of any income who assist stray and feral cats. People caring for stray or feral cats (in one's yard, neighborhood, or community feral colony) are eligible for assistance.
Sick & Injured Cat (SIC) Program
At times, medical services beyond spay/neuter are necessary for free-roaming cats that are ill, injured, or have been abused. SCOOP assists community members of any income with the cost of medical care for these cats.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
SCOOP assists community members with the cost of spay/neuter and other medical care for free-roaming cats. Those compassionate people who care for and about these cats are performing a community service and deserve financial assistance for the medical care of these cats. SCOOP assists people of any income with programs that are rescue based rather than income based.
SCOOP's sanctuary also has many rescued sick, injured and abused stray and feral cats. The sanctuary caregivers provide a safe and loving environment where these cats receive the best medical and daily care possible, and Hospice care as needed. Illnesses of the cats in SCOOP's sanctuary include leukemia, FIV, blindness, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, asthma, epilepsy, kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, etc.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Strategy #1: Provide vouchers for the spay/neuter of stray and feral cats.
Strategy #2: Provide financial assistance for the medical care of sick, injured, or abused stray and feral cats.
Strategy #3: Continue to care for many dozens of rescued stray and feral cats with special needs in the SCOOP sanctuary and provide Hospice care as needed.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
SCOOP representatives have many combined years of experience in rescue work, specifically dealing with stray and feral cats, and cats with special needs. SCOOP is a TNR group founded for the purpose of assisting the community with the needs of free-roaming cats and has been doing so through programs since 2006. SCOOP representatives are always seeking ways to teach and encourage the community to do more than feed stray and feral cats. Financial assistance programs for people of any income encourage and motivate community members to become part of the humane and compassionate solution for the societal problem of feline overpopulation and suffering. SCOOP's small group of dedicated volunteers work tirelessly 12 months per year in order to continue to raise money for such programs.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
SCOOP has implemented the Prevent A Litter (PAL) spay/neuter program since 2006 funding the surgery and vaccinations for over 2000 free-roaming cats. In addition, SCOOP has implemented the Sick and Injured Cat (SIC) program since 2012 assisting nearly 250 ill, injured or abused stray and feral cats.
