for the Chautauqua County Humane Society
Thank you for your support!
Your donations can be requested to be used specifically towards one of the following programs:
General Operating Fund
Spay Clinic
First and foremost, CCHS remains committed to the policy that no friendly or healthy animal will be destroyed due to overcrowding. The cornerstone of this policy was and still is to work aggressively toward solving the problem of unwanted companion animal overpopulation by conducting extensive spay/neuter programs rather than destroy animals simply because there are not enough homes. CCHS is pleased to report that the shelter has seen a dramatic 400% decrease in the number of unwanted cats and kittens. The high-volume spay/neuter program quickly led to fewer animals entering into the shelter system. The promise and potential of the programs' impact is enormous and CCHS continues to aggressively seek funds to expand the program for both cats and dogs.
Friends of Ferals Trap/Neuter & Release (TNR)
TNR is a non-lethal method of reducing stray and feral cat populations (cats already living outdoors). The cats are humanely and painlessly trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, sterilized and ear tipped for identification. Healthy cats “too wild” to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitats. The program remains in the “pilot” stage in both fundraising efforts and in the number of releases. TNR is proven to effectively reduce feral cat populations long-term, eliminates killing healthy animals and greatly reduces complaints and costs associated with the public's concern for feral and stray cats.
Refund Policy
Since this is a donation transaction given towards the care and well-being of animals, refunds are not generally honored.
