Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to the county.

Our Values and Mission: The Sullivan County Humane Society is committed to improving the quality of life for animals within our county and to putting an end to animal overpopulation, abandonment, and neglect. Through responsible adoptions, we will find homeless animals forever homes. Through humane education, we will teach responsible ownership. Through low-cost, spay/neuter programs aimed at both owned pets and free-roaming cats, we will limit the number of litters born in our county and therefore decrease the number of surrenders.

SCHS started offering low-cost spay/neuter clinics to Sullivan County and the surrounding area 14 years ago. This year, on June 12th, SCHS will hit the goal of fixing 10,000 cats!!! That is INCREDIBLE! This prevented a minimum of 20,000 unwanted births (meaning there are not enough homes for every cat born). Had these cats not been fixed and the offspring of these cats had litters of kittens, the number of births would be an unimaginable 200,000.

To celebrate this milestone, we are trying to raise $10,000 to put back into the programs that benefit from our low-cost clinics, such as:

Cats who are a part of our Fix-the-Mom program. Many families from the public have utilized this program, which includes spaying the mom (prior to being returned home) and all kittens (prior to being adopted). We have fixed hundreds of moms and kittens through this program.

Cats who are part of our TNR (trap/neuter/release) program. When cats are abandoned and are not fixed, this leads to kittens being born and never socialized, leading to a huge increase in the feral population.

Many cats surrendered to us with medical issues have resulted directly from not being fixed.

Paisley and Frankie both came to us with pyometra (an infection of the uterus) and required emergency surgery.

Callie-Flower, Oaklynn, and Guilianna were all surrendered and had mammary cancer that was so far advanced they were placed into fospice care to live what time they had left comfortably.

Kitties like Roe came to us in distress with a baby stuck in her birthing canal and required emergency surgery to save her life.

So much good comes from fixing animals. It eliminates unwanted litters, horrible infections, certain cancers, and lessens the chances of spreading certain diseases.

Please consider donating to this important cause and sharing far and wide so that we may help all the cats in need!

**A huge thank you to Dr. Sara White and her vet techs for their huge role in helping with this milestone and the many dedicated volunteers that make these clinics possible!**

Recently, we, Sullivan County Humane Society, have taken on the care of this sweet boy, Littles. We got the call on Littles because he had a wound on his leg that would not heal. We could not refuse caring for him in this situation. As you can see, his foot is gigantic. Unfortunately, the leg could not be saved and had to be amputated. There is a great possibility that it was cancer and has been sent to be checked. Removing the leg will give this guy many more years of life.

The cost to care for this sweet guy was great. We are hoping with your help we can recoup the cost to care for the next above-and-beyond care kitty that comes through our doors.

Sweet Martalya was brought to Sullivan County Humane Society in pretty bad shape after she was found in some bushes. After consulting with our vet, it was determined that her jaw had been broken and her hip had been fractured due to some sort of trauma. Today, Martalya will have her jaw reconstructed and FHO (femoral head ostectomy) surgery to correct her hip.

It will take months for Martalya to heal, but she will make a full recovery.

Please help us help Martalya! Every penny and share counts!
