“Continued from Form 990, Page 2, Part III, Line 4a In 2024, Friends of Normie Rescue processed 1,078 animals, including 1,077 cats and one dog. 91% of our animals were strays, while nearly all the rest were owner surrenders. We facilitated 843 adoptions and over 200 transfers, resulting in over 1,000 live outcomes. We utilized a network of 213 active volunteer fosters and to achieve these results, primarily managed by only one full-time manager all year (although we exited the year with two full-time managers). We held our first ever fundraiser in October 2024 which was attended by 130 guests and raised $141,000 from the event. Additionally, we hosted a Spring community event at the Newport Beach Community Center, an event attended by about 150 of our passionate volunteers.”
