Little Shelter makes sure that the animals basic needs are met. Each animal receives medical and behavioral evaluations, a warm, safe place to stay, and plenty of nutritious food and water. The animals also receive personalized attention. They are walked frequently throughout the day and have time to play with our staff, volunteers and other animals. Feral cats are free-roaming cats that are untamed and unsuitable for adoption. If left alone, they keep reproducing and can become a neighborhood nuisance prompting well-meaning community members to call animal control to take care of them. However, when those cats are removed and killed, new cats simply move in to take over the territory.In the process of Trap-Neuter-Return the cat is humanely trapped, then transported to a vet where it is spayed or neutered, ear tipped and rabies vaccinated. The cat is then released back to its original outdoor location and managed by a caregiver who will manage the colony and maintain a clean environment through controlled feeding.Little Shelters Feral Cat Initiative helps permanently reduce the colony size through attrition, reduces nuisance behaviors such as male spraying and fighting and lowers the number of cats and kittens brought to overburdened shelters, which results in reduced costs associated with housing and euthanasia. The cost of the Feral Cat Initiative is covered in full by Little Shelter. 2711846 true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 1 15 true 122 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 3 3 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true false true true false true false X X Maryann Chernovsky 6313688770 33 Warner Road Huntington NY 11743 X Maryann Chernovsky President 40.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Filiberto Colon Treasurer 50.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 David Ceely Vice President 50.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 3853954 3853954 0 173 173 0 0 0 0 0 233000 50157 182843 182843 0 0 4036970 182843 173 0 0 0 0 0 0 2174498 1522148 326175 326175 0 96539 67577 14481 14481 170953 119667 25643 25643 0 4991 710 3244 1037 37560 5352 24414 7794 0 0 0 34136 4868 22088 7180 1036 1006 8 22 0 8315 8315 0 33060 31128 966 966 0 0 0 0 0 0 46360 44736 1624 Veterinary Supplies 326444 326444 Educational Mailings 252262 252262 Animal Rescure & Adoption Fees 141640 141640 Repairs & Maintenance 100724 100724 143521 93584 15272 34665 3572039 2711846 442230 417963 193547 254470 159356 563143 0 0 0 0 0 0 35559 35559 1095521 613925 481596 481596 1134879 1134879 36800 36800 0 0 106220 106220 2147957 2612667 85370 85149 68300 68300 153670 153449 X 1994287 2459218 1994287 2459218 2147957 2612667 464931 X false true X false false X 3858966 2265434 3564466 2008264 3853954 15551084 336765 243143 282126 168611 1030645 0 0 0 4195731 2508577 3846592 2176875 3853954 16581729 0 614916 105773 532150 146460 1399299 614916 105773 532150 146460 1399299 15182430 103508 74549 164387 37711 173 380328 0 103508 74549 164387 37711 173 380328 0 5362 2123 1722 498 9705 4304601 2585249 4012701 2215084 3854127 16971762 0.89460 0.86440 0.02240 0.02860 X 98521 98521 461229 230933 230296 279642 147915 131727 249035 227983 21052 7094 7094 481596 4036970 4036970 4036970 3572039 3572039 3572039 X X X X X false 233000 50157 false false false 233000 50157 50157 182843 true false false false 1.00000 false false Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND THE TREASURER REVIEW THE MATERIALS INCLUDED IN THE 990BEFORE IT IS FILED.
