Letter from the President T
the Alliance’s Wheels of Hope transport program’s daily lifesaving transports of animals from AC&C to rescues, fosters, adopters, and veterinary facilities, continued to drive down euthanasia at our city shelters. In 2011, our adoption program received a boost when the Petco Foundation donated a new adoption van to the Alliance. This additional resource enables us to bring more animals to the public each month. And it bolsters our mobile adoption capabilities, which continues to rely upon the weekly deployment of North Shore Animal League America’s mobile adoption units for use by other APOs. We built upon the success of our existing efforts to promote pets for adoption, including our signature adoption Alliance President Jane Hoffman reads the Mayoral Proclamation for event, Adoptapalooza; Broadway Barks 13, sharing the stage with Broadway Barks founders our partnership in Mary Tyler Moore and Bernadette Peters. the highly anticipated efforts of the 150 Alliance Participating annual Broadway Barks adoption Organizations (APOs) that work daily extravaganza; and our partnership with to bring animals out of harm’s way and NBC’s New York Live. into the lives of caring adopters, and our Through our Picasso Veterinary Fund® volunteers, who are always at the ready and other medical assistance programs, we to help wherever they are needed.

Vision
Establish New York City as a community where no dog or cat of reasonable health and temperament is killed merely because he or she does not have a home.
Mission
In cooperation with the City of New York, the Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals seeks to establish partnerships with nonprofit animal organizations to develop creative solutions to deal with issues of animal care and control. Through our multi-year program, we will help these animal advocacy groups reach their highest potential to effectively place and spay/neuter New York City’s dogs and cats.

Architects for Animals New York City’s architectural community has joined the growing numbers of New Yorkers who are working to create humane solutions for the city’s tens of thousands of stray and community cats. Participating in Architects for Animals’ second annual “Giving Shelter” project, teams of designers from some of the city’s most prestigious architectural firms created inspired winter cat shelters and donated them to TNR-certified caretakers in all five boroughs.
Strategic Programs
New York City Feral Cat Initiative
Architects for Animals founder, Leslie Farrell, and the New York City Feral Cat Initiative of the Mayor’s Alliance hosted an exhibition of the shelters in December at the Steelcase Showroom in Manhattan, where the public was invited to view the shelters and support the city’s community cats. Following the event, the Mayor’s Alliance delivered the shelters to caretakers throughout the city.
R
educing the number of cats entering our city shelters is essential to our success in creating a no-kill community. The New York City Feral Cat Initiative of the Mayor’s Alliance (NYCFCI) is working to humanely reduce the number of stray and feral “community cats” living in backyards, vacant lots, alleyways, and parks throughout New York City, some of which end up being brought to the shelter. The NYCFCI raises awareness about the cats and provides services to assist proactive New Yorkers who undertake trap-neuter-return (TNR) projects to humanely reduce the number of cats and improve the plight of those cats who live outdoors. Where TNR has been completed, we offer solutions to aid caretakers in the successful ongoing management of existing colonies, including trap rentals and transport; access to lowcost spay/neuter services; giveaways of food, shelters, and straw; and transport for cats to spay/neuter appointments. The NYCFCI also offers workshops, advice to the public and TNR caretakers by phone and email, and educational information in print and online.

Transport Story 2011
Wheels of HOpe M
oving animals out of AC&C shelters quickly is one of our most effective strategies for reducing euthanasia at AC&C. Our Wheels of Hope transport program operates seven days a week, 52 weeks a year, to move animals to no-kill shelters and rescue groups that have the resources to care for them until they are placed into permanent homes. In 2011, Wheels of Hope vehicles transported 14,000 animals from AC&C to partner rescues. Since the fleet originated in 2005, more than 40,000 animals have been transported. Timely transport is crucial. It reduces the number of animals euthanized for lack of space, and also mitigates the risk that the animals will contract upper respiratory infections, kennel cough, and other illnesses that can spread quickly in a crowded shelter. Our transports lessen stress on the animals
and also reduce the veterinary bills of rescue groups that take these animals in. Five vehicles, eight drivers, and two full-time transport coordinators ensure that these life-saving trips happen every day. Working in cooperation with AC&C’s New Hope staff, Mayor’s Alliance transport coordinators orchestrate each transport. All costs, including purchase of the vehicles, fuel, tolls, maintenance, insurance, and the wages of our dedicated drivers, are paid for by the Alliance.
A Day in the Life of a Transporter Her day begins at 6:30 a.m. She transports: Eleven feral cats from Elmhurst to ASPCA Spay/Neuter facility in Glendale. Picasso Veterinary Fund foster dog Coco from foster home in Manhattan to Murray Hill Pet Hospital. Two dogs and litter of bottle-fed kittens from Manhattan AC&C — transports the dogs to boarding facility in the Bronx. Five kittens and one dog from Brooklyn AC&C shelter in East New York, along with kitten from Manhattan, to Long Island destinations — five kittens to Long Beach Humane; one dog to Assisi Veterinary Hospital; one kitten to foster in Deer Park; four kittens to foster in Middle Island; one dog to Rocky Point. Three kittens from hospital in Great Neck to foster home in Manhattan. Total: 29 animals moved one step closer to a new future.

Brody and family
Picasso Veterinary Fund
®
S
ometimes animals coming out of AC&C shelters need a little extra medical help to get back on their feet before being adopted. Our Picasso Veterinary Fund® pays for necessary medical care for these animals – providing them with treatment that would otherwise not be available to them. Thanks to our strong relationships within New York City’s veterinary community, we have been able to negotiate discounted fees with some veterinary hospitals, allowing us to help even more animals. Brody Gets a Family Brody arrived at the Animal Care & Control of New York City (AC&C) shelter suffering from entropion, a painful condition in which the eyelid folds inward. With no adopter in sight, time was running out for this sweet Bullmastiff mix. So the Alliance took him into the Picasso Veterinary Fund program and paid for the multiple eye surgeries needed to correct this painful and sightthreatening condition. When Brody was ready to go home, a new adoptive home was waiting for him. Today Brody is living large with his new family in Pennsylvania.
Picasso’s Story: In
the winter of 2000, an eight-monthold abandoned Pit Bull puppy, born with a twisted muzzle, was picked up and brought to AC&C. When actress/ animal advocate Bernadette Peters saw a
8 • Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals 2011
photograph of the puppy with the cubist face, she named him Picasso. Picasso was taken in by BARC Shelter in Brooklyn, and soon found a permanent home with the family of a BARC volunteer. Sadly, after only a few short years, a few months before his fourth birthday,
Picasso succumbed to kidney failure. Ms. Peters and Mary Tyler Moore, founders of Broadway Barks, created the Picasso Veterinary Fund to keep Picasso’s lively and enduring spirit alive. Today, the Picasso Veterinary Fund is giving hundreds of special little New Yorkers second chances for the good lives they deserve.
MAJOR SUPPORTERS
Helping pets and People in crisis T
his pilot program was created in response to the many requests we received from people facing heartbreaking separation from their pets during times of crisis. The program provides assistance
to women and children fleeing domestic violence; seniors requiring medical care outside of their homes; and families facing eviction or other temporary setbacks. By collaborating with traditional social services, we can offer temporary care of these pets through our foster care network and boarding facilities, with the aim of reuniting the pets with their families once their situation is stabilized. If reunification is not possible, the pets are placed for adoption, sparing families already in crisis the further distress of leaving their beloved pet in a shelter.
Maddie’s Fund® Maddie’s Fund®, the Pet Rescue Foundation, is a family foundation funded by Workday and PeopleSoft founder Dave Duffield and his wife, Cheryl. It is the largest animal welfare fund in history, and was created in 1999 with an astonishing promise of over $300 million to be divided among cities that pledge to create no-kill communities. In January 2005, Maddie’s Fund awarded a seven-year, multi-milliondollar grant to the Alliance to administer the Maddie’s® Pet Rescue Project in New York City and the Maddie’s® Spay/ Neuter Project in New York City. In 2011, Maddie’s Fund awarded an additional one-year grant to the Alliance to pay for spay/neuter for New York City’s stray and feral community cats.
ASPCA The ASPCA® was the first humane society established in the Western Hemisphere, and today is one of the largest in the world. A national organization based in New York City, the ASPCA is a founding member and a major financial supporter of the Alliance. The ASPCA offers a variety of programs in New York City, including pet adoption, affordable spay/ neuter services to the public, its own humane law enforcement team, and a groundbreaking veterinary forensics team and mobile animal CSI unit.

Services Mobile Van Adoptions Consistently bringing adoptable animals to the people is one of our most
effective ways we can increase adoptions. In 2011, our adoption program received a tremendous boost when the Petco Foundation donated a new, customized adoption van to the Alliance. With this valuable resource at our disposal, we can showcase cats and dogs for adoption by the Alliance and also make the van available for APOs to showcase their animals in hightraffic adoption locations. The Alliance continued in 2011 to work with North Shore Animal League America
10 • Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals 2011
(NSALA) to stage mobile van adoptions for APOs every weekend on NSALA Mobile Adoption Units.
Free and Low-cost Clinics for Spay/Neuter Reducing the number of puppy and kitten births is key to reducing euthanasia
at our city shelters. In 2011, the Maddie’s® Spay/Neuter Project in New York City – funded by Maddie’s Fund and administered by the Alliance – continued to provide free and low-cost spay-neuter surgeries for dogs and cats to any New York City pet owner who receives public assistance. Surgeries were offered, for a modest copayment, by private practice veterinarians that participated in the program, and at no-charge by participating non-profit organizations. The ASPCA, the Humane Society of New York, and The Toby Project offered free or low-cost spay/neuter services to any New York City pet owner who receives public assistance. Free and Low-Cost Microchipping Recognizing that microchipped pets have the best chance of being reunited with their owners should they become lost, the Alliance continued in 2011 to offer free and low-cost microchipping clinics throughout the city. Since 2005, the Alliance has microchipped more than 2,600 cats and dogs.
Adoption Programs Mayor’s Alliance Pop-Up Adoption Shop In November, the Alliance teamed up with WhitegatePR and the Roger Smith Hotel to present the Mayor’s Alliance PopUp Adoption Shop – New York City’s firstever pet adoption pop-up shop. Strategically located on high-traffic Lexington Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, and timed to capitalize on one of the busiest shopping times of the year, the Adoption Shop featured dogs and cats from a variety of Alliance Participating Organizations and a range of high-end vendors of pet supply products – allowing potential adopters to meet their new best friends and lavish them with high-quality pet products. The month-long project resulted in more than 25 pet adoptions and created greater public awareness of New York City’s homeless animals.
Adoptapalooza In June 2011, the Alliance presented its second annual Adoptapalooza pet adoption event in Manhattan’s famed Washington Square Park. This highly anticipated community event drew hundreds of people to meet some of the more than 100 dogs and cats for adoption from a dozen Alliance Participating Organizations and join in a wide range of fun, family activities – among them, an agility course for the family dog!
New York Live Almost two years after its launch in 2010, this NBC daily entertainment and lifestyle show continued to spur pet adoptions each week by showcasing dogs from different Alliance Participating Organizations. The segment, which airs live at 5:00 p.m. EST on Channel 4 each Thursday, resulted in 200 adoptions in 2011, and more than 385 adoptions since the program began.
Whiskers in Wonderland® Our second annual Whiskers in Wonderland® in December at the Metropolitan Pavilion – New York City’s largest holiday pet adoption event – gave New Yorkers the perfect opportunity to meet hundreds of cats and kittens, bunnies, small dogs, and exotic animals with big dreams of forever homes. With support from The Cat Fanciers’ Association, Dr. Elsey’s, and Royal Canin, the two-day extravaganza gave many showcased animals from 26 Alliance Participating Organizations the gift of a forever home – and for the adopters, the priceless gift of unconditional love.

Special Partners Animal Care & Control of New York City Animal Care & Control of New York City (AC&C) is the largest pet rescue organization in the northeastern United States. It is New York City’s municipal shelter system, operating in all five boroughs, including three full-service shelters and two receiving centers. AC&C is responsible for rescuing, caring for, and finding homes for New York City’s homeless and abandoned animals. In 2011, AC&C, an Alliance Participating Organization (APO), took in more than 32,000 animals. The Mayor’s Alliance and its 150 participating shelters and rescue groups work closely with AC&C’s New Hope department each day to ensure that as many animals as possible are moved out of AC&C shelters and into the care of partner rescue organizations that will find them permanent homes.
North Shore Animal League America North Shore Animal League America is an Alliance Participating Organization (APO) headquartered in Port Washington, NY. It is the largest no-kill animal rescue and adoption organization in the world. Since 1944, The Animal League’s mission has been to save the lives of pets through adoption, rescue, spay/neuter, and advocacy initiatives. Although located in New York, The Animal League reaches across the country to rescue, nurture, and adopt approximately 20,000 pets into loving homes every year. The Animal League regularly loans its Mobile Adoption Units to fellow APOs for weekend adoption events.

Special Partners Petco Foundation The Petco Foundation, a long time supporter of pet adoption and a strong advocate for bringing adoptable animals to the people, in 2011 made a generous donation of a new mobile adoption van to the Alliance to help increase pet adoptions in New York City. The van was unveiled at a special Petco Adoption Reunion event in Central Park in October as part of Petco’s National Adoption Reunion Campaign to celebrate the three million-plus pets Petco has helped place in forever homes, and shine a spotlight on the millions of shelter animals still in need of homes. Previously, the Petco Foundation donated a transport vehicle to the Alliance’s Wheels of Hope program and provided grant funding for Alliance training efforts.
