Goal this Project Supports:

****************************************************************************************************************************

*****Our Goal is : Maricopa County, Arizona will have zero euthanasia of any Cat that has any hope of a meaningful quality of life by the year 2020.*****

We Need Cat Goals for both inside Cats & Outside Cats! Any ideas?

There are several sub-goals that support this main Goal for Dogs and the main Goal for Cats that is coming soon:

Sub-Goal #1: We need a specific goal or percentage, but this sub-goal is to Create a Lost & Found Dog and Cat System that increases the number of animals that are safely returned home to their families.

Sub-Goal #2: We need a specific goal or percentage, but this sub-goal is to Increase the Number of Rescued Animals Adopted into loving families.

Sub-Goal #3: We need a specific goal or percentage, but this sub-goal is to Solve and Find Answers for the Common Reasons that Animals become Homeless or Unwanted. We would like to create responses that keep animals in their home. For instance, No $$$ for food—>Provide donated food, No $$$ for vet care—>Find low-cost or free veterinary care, Military Deploying Overseas—>Secure Long Term Fosters, Domestic Violence Situation—>Foster Home Until Resettled Elsewhere, Behavior Problems–Offer Free or Low-Cost Assistance, etc.

Sub-Goal #4: We need a specific goal or percentage, but this sub-goal is to Increase the Number of Spays & Neuters of Animals in order to prevent unwanted puppy or kitten litters.

Sub-Goal #5: We need a specific goal or percentage, but this sub-goal is to Prevent Many of the Avenues through which Animals Chaotically Enter into the Rescue System. For instance, “Pool Guy or Utility Guy left the back gate open and my animals escaped”—>Educate Pool Cleaning Services, Utility Services and others, “Fireworks scared my animals and they are lost—>Educate Public about securing animals, “I am moving” but they have known for 6 months but call the day before—>Work with Realtors to Encourage Pet Owners to make advance placements or work with a shelter earlier, The Dog or Cat’s Human is terminally ill or in hospice—>Work with Hospice workers to coordinate with the person’s family or with animal rescues for a smooth, well planned transfer of the animal to a new home.

Our Goal is to: Create a Master List of all the Animal Rescue Groups in Arizona who are currently helping to Save and/or Rehome domesticated Animals. Add all organizations to the Directory of Organizations on the CommunityCause.org website along with the services they provide and their service area. Provide current & accurate information about rescue groups that is quick, clear and effortless to access. Make it easier for people in our community to find Animal Rescues and other Animal related groups when they want to help adopt an animal, volunteer, donate items, sponsor events, or give money.

Our Goal is to: Assist Individuals, Families and Professionals in finding Quick and Easy Access to Help & Resources that address Common Issues regarding Domestic Animals and Wildlife.

Our Goal is to: Assist organizations in fulfilling their mission by gathering the most useful tips, advice, books, blogs, websites, videos, newsletters, scientific research, resources and organizations that can help them deal with the common issues that organizations often face & make this information quick and easy to access.
