2026 Supporter Connection Survey

Thank you so much for supporting Animal Outreach of Shelby County. Would you help me understand more about the people - especially you-- who help us help cats in and around Shelby County? The answers to the following questions help us with planning and being able to communicate better with you about the things that you care about in a more relevant way!

    Oh, and before you dive in: You're going to see several spots where you can share your thoughts "in your own words"—and I'm really hoping you will! Quick heads up though: there's a save icon right below the questions. Use it! Seriously. I'd hate for you to be pouring your heart out about why you love helping cats, and then the doorbell rings or your phone goes off and you lose everything.

    So yeah, use that save button if you need to step away!

    Okay, enough from me—let's get started!

    Every few months, I organize what I call a 'Big Fix Day.' Last August, we spayed
    and neutered 31 cats from one neighborhood in a single day.

    I watched volunteer Amber—who had been up since 3am setting traps—cry with relief
    when the last cat went into surgery. "That's 31 cats who won't have kittens born into hardship," she said. "We just changed everything for that neighborhood."

    Your donations make it possible for me, Amber, and our volunteers to run these
    intensive spay days.

    Right now, I can only schedule a Big Fix Day after I've raised enough money to pay for it. That means months can pass between clinics—and during those months, cats keep having kittens.

    I want to change that. I want to run Big Fix Days every month so we can respond immediately when a neighborhood needs help.

    Each Big Fix Day costs $3,000-$4,500 for veterinary fees, transport, traps, and supplies. This spring, I'm launching a matching campaign to fund monthly Big Fix Days starting this summer.

    Here's how it works: I'm asking a small group of generous donors to contribute $500 or more to create a Matching Fund. Then, when I reach out to other supporters, their gifts will be DOUBLED by your matching gift—meaning twice as many cats fixed, twice as many neighborhoods helped, and twice the impact.

    There's a woman named Michelle who has been feeding a colony of cats in Waldron for eleven years. Every morning. Every evening. Rain, snow, hundred-degree heat.

    Your support provides Michelle with what she needs: winter shelters to keep cats warm, spay/neuter services to stop the cycle of kittens, and medical care when cats get sick or injured.

    The only way I can guarantee that caregivers like Michelle can look after their colonies, day after day, month after month, year after year, is through reliable, ongoing support.

    That's why I started the Good Mews Crew - our community of monthly donors. Monthly gifts help my small team plan ahead, respond to emergencies, and keep our programs running consistently.

    Every spring, our foster families open their homes to orphaned kittens - some so young they need bottle feeding every 2 hours through the night.

    Each kitten costs about $202 from rescue to adoption, but the transformation is extraordinary: from starving, flea-covered babies to happy and healthy family cats.

    When I started Animal Outreach 20 years ago, I made a promise to myself: I would keep going until every community in Shelby County understood that TNR works, that outdoor cats deserve compassion, and that there's a better way than what we've always done.

    I think about what this county could look like in twenty years. In fifty years. A place where no cat is born into hardship because every colony is managed. Where the shelter isn't full of cats with nowhere to go. Where compassion for animals is just how we do things here.

    Your support doesn't just help cats today. It helps build something that lasts for generations.

    The only way I can guarantee that Animal Outreach will be here for cats for generations to come—long after you and I are gone—is if supporters like you consider including us in their Will.

    A gift in your Will allows you to protect your family first while also ensuring that the cats of Shelby County will always have someone in their corner. It's a way to make your values live on—to ensure that the compassion you've shown during your lifetime continues to help cats for decades to come.
