| IRS990/Desc | 0 | See Schedule OIn 2024 our focus again remained on cats in El Paso County, but we also regularly help cats throughout Colorado and from Texas, New Mexico and occasionally California. Best Friends Animal Society has recognized Wild Blue for consistently having a save rate of over 90%. Since Wild Blue was founded, over 12,000 cats have been positively impacted by Wild Blue, and there have been over 500 community cats in the Frontier Ferals TNR program that were fixed and vaccinated in 2024 alone. Wild Blue continues working with national organizations such as Best Friends Animal Society, Petco, and Petsmart. Wild Blue continues to work with regional agencies such as DDFL Solutions, Teller County Animal Shelter, National Mill Dog Rescue in Falcon/Peyton, Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region, JJs Helping Paws, Happy Cats Haven, Feline Fix and St. Paws Thrift Store. To promote finding forever homes for our cats, Wild Blue holds adoptions events every Saturday which alternate between a Petco store and a Petsmart store in Colorado Springs. In 2024, Wild Blue's primary veterinary partner was Ponderosa Vet Clinic. Dr Erin Davezac, Dr Renee Staffeld, Dr Nicole Dielo and Dr Susan Meany provided high quality high volume (HQHV) spay/neuter services. Much of this support is funded by the Bissell Fix the Future program. Wild Blue continues its trap/neuter/return program - Frontier Ferals - focusing on pregnant and nursing feral cats and their kittens. Our Fix Feline Families program continued during 2024 and is funded primarily using grant funding from the Petco Foundation, Petsmart Charities and our fundraising efforts. Our feral cat sanctuary - Maya's Friends Wildheart Village - was expanded in 2019 to add a second sanctuary primarily for pregnant and nursing cats. The Critical Care Unit started initial construction in 2019; we now expect it to be completed in 2025. The unit will include a nursery for pregnant/nursing queens and neonatal orphaned kitties. The Critical Care Unit will also have space for a limited number of FeLV positive cats. Wild Blue makes extensive use of volunteers and currently has over 200 active volunteers. |
