Mission

THE AUSTIN HUMANE SOCIETY (AHS) OFFERS COMPREHENSIVE, HUMANE, LIFE-SAVING ANIMAL SERVICES, TRANSFORMING THE LIVES OF ANIMALS AND THOSE WHO LOVE THEM. BECAUSE WE BELIEVE HOMELESS ANIMALS DESERVE A CHANCE TO THRIVE IN A LOVING ENVIRONMENT, WE OFFER INNOVATIVE, NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED PROGRAMS THAT SAVE THE LIVES OF THOUSANDS OF DOGS AND CATS EACH YEAR. AHS' APPROACH TO ADDRESSING ANIMAL HOMELESSNESS ENCOMPASSES BOTH FINDING ANIMALS HOMES THROUGH ADOPTION AS WELL AS PREVENTING FUTURE HOMELESSNESS THROUGH SPAY/NEUTER PROGRAMS.

Activities or mission (Part I)

THE AUSTIN HUMANE SOCIETY OFFERS COMPREHENSIVE, HUMANE, LIFE-SAVING ANIMAL SERVICES, TRANSFORMING THE LIVES OF ANIMALS AND THOSE WHO LOVE THEM.

WE MAKE A LIFETIME COMMITMENT TO EACH ANIMAL IN OUR ADOPTION PROGRAM. WE PROVIDE THEM WITH QUALITY CARE FOR BOTH THEIR MEDICAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH. EVERY ANIMAL RECEIVES SPAY/NEUTER SURGERY, VACCINATIONS, MICROCHIP, WARM BEDS, QUALITY FOOD AND TOYS, EXERCISE, TRAINING, AND LOVE. WE HELP EACH ANIMAL FIND A LOVING HOME.

Expenses $3,425,276 · Revenue $324,104
THE AHS FERAL CAT PROGRAM PROVIDES FREE STERILIZATIONS AND VACCINATIONS FOR FERAL CATS IN TRAVIS COUNTY AND SURROUNDING COUNTIES IN CENTRAL TEXAS. THE HUMANE TRAP-NEUTER-RETURN (TNR) METHOD PROVIDES EDUCATION ON TRAPPING FERAL CATS AND TRAP RENTAL TO VOLUNTEERS. SPAY/NEUTER SURGERY, RABIES VACCINATIONS, DEWORMING, AND EAR TIPPING FOR ANY FERAL CATS THEY TRAP ARE FREE OF CHARGE. AFTER RECOVERING FROM SURGERY, THE FERAL CAT IS RETURNED TO ITS COLONY BY THE VOLUNTEER. THE AHS TNR CLINIC WAS THE FIRST HIGH VOLUME SPAY/NEUTER CLINIC SPECIFICALLY FOR FERAL CATS IN CENTRAL TEXAS. THE PRIMARY GOAL OF THE PROGRAM IS TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF FERAL CATS AND REDUCE THE HOMELESS CAT POPULATION. SINCE THE PROGRAM'S INCEPTION IN 2007, WE HAVE SERVED OVER 85,000 CATS, AVERAGING AT LEAST 5,000 CATS PER YEAR IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS. BY STERILIZING AND VACCINATING FERAL CATS, WE IMPROVE THEIR HEALTH AND REDUCE THE SPREAD OF COMMON FELINE DISEASES BETWEEN FERAL AND FREE-ROAMING CATS AND ABATE THE EXPONENTIAL GROWTH OF THE HOMELESS CAT POPULATION. AHS LAUNCHED A UNIQUE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE AUSTIN ANIMAL CENTER (AAC) IN 2011 TO SAVE THE LIVES OF STRAY CATS THAT WOULD PREVIOUSLY HAVE BEEN EUTHANIZED. MODELED AFTER THE FERAL FREEDOM PROGRAM IN JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA, QUALIFYING STRAY CATS SURRENDERED AT AAC ARE TRANSPORTED TO AHS, SPAYED/NEUTERED, VACCINATED, MICROCHIPPED, AND EAR TIPPED FOR IDENTIFICATION AND THEN RETURNED BY AHS STAFF BACK INTO THEIR TERRITORIES TO LIVE OUT THEIR LIVES.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
