Year In Review2023

OUR MISSIONOFOSA is committed to improving the welfare of animals by addressing theextensive overpopulation problem among homeless dogs and cats. We
accomplish this mission by:• Saving as many dogs as possible from overcrowded shelters;• Accepting surrendered and abandoned dogs and cats;• Spaying or neutering every animal in our care;• Working with our community to Trap-Neuter-Release stray/colony catsand providing rescue and care to injured and sick kittens and cats fromcolonies;• And through adoption, finding forever loving homes for all our animals.
At OFOSA, we believe that all people deserve to enjoy the love,companionship, and health benefits that adopting an animal can bring. We
are committed to continuing our growth as it relates to inclusivity so we canfully embrace and serve our community. We know this is an ongoing process
and we are dedicated to this work.

It’s been another interesting year. We, along with other rescues across the country,
continued to experience slow adoption rates (ours was flat). A significant change,
however, was that 58% of our intakes came from the Abandoned or Public Drop-off
categories*. That’s an increase of almost 25% from 2022.

Again, this year we had a chance to help provide more spay/neuter services to feral
cats and also rescued several large colonies. Due to an overpopulation of community
cats and the limited TNR surgery providers, individuals that specialize in working withthese colonies were struggling to find surgical appointments.
We were fortunate enough to have extra space in our normal rescue surgery schedule
to accommodate surgeries for other rescues and trappers in need. In doing so we wereable to help get more cats altered and returned to their colonies.
We continued to say ‘yes’ to our rescue partners when they reached out with animals
who needed special medical care.
Just to name a few...this year we handled a bowel resection, removed mammary glandtumors, treated and removed cysts, treated flea infestations & dermatitis, treatedpillow paw (pododermatitis), saved pregnant mammas and orphans, handled dental
emergencies, and nursed animals back from malnourishment and certain death.
