Shelter reports intake down ~9% and improved juvenile cat outcomes
Summary
Staff presented FY2024–25 metrics showing a reported intake decline of about 1,007 animals (~9%), an overall save rate rise to 75%, and a notable jump in juvenile cat save rate from 49% to 63% credited to foster and diversion efforts.
Shelter staff presented annual performance data for the July‑to‑June fiscal year and described several positive outcome trends despite a smaller intake. “So we actually took in 1000 animals less, 1,007 animals less than we did last year, which is great,” Director Jasmine Glover McNair said while summarizing fiscal‑year comparisons.
Staff reported the overall live‑outcome save rate rose from 73% to 75%, and juvenile cat save rates increased from 49% to 63% — a 14 percentage‑point improvement staff attributed to expanded foster coordination and diversion work. Adoptions were reported to have increased by roughly 100 animals (about 2.7%). Commissioners asked for more granular data (species and age breakdowns and causes of death in care); staff committed to providing detailed tables in posted materials.
