WE RECENTLY GOT A CORPORATE IMAGE MAKEOVER TO HELP WITH GRANTS AND OUR LOGO WAS UPDATED TO REFLECT THE TYPE OF PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATION WE INTEND TO BECOME.
THE ORGANIZATION WAS FORMED IN EARLY 2023, AND HAS A VERY SUCCESSFUL FEREL CAT SPADE/NEUTER PROGRAM. THE BOARD HAS BEEN MEETING MONTHLY SINCE THAT TIME. WE ARE SEEKING GRANTS, AND PRIVATE DONORS TO RAISE THE FUNDS TO BUILD A MODEST BUT EFFECTIVE ANIMAL SHELTER & RESCUE. SEE IMAGES OF THE BUILDING AND AMENITIES BELOW.
PROGRAMS FOR THE TOWN & VILLAGE OF HANCOCK INCLUDE: ADOPTION, NEUTERING, CATCH & RELEASE, PUBLIC HEALTH TESTING, AND GENERAL ANIMAL CONTROL SUPPORT FOR THE TOWN & VILLAGE OF HANCOCK NY AND THE SURROUNDING REGION. WE WANT TO INCLUDE VETERINARY SERVICES THAT HELP TO PAY FOR THE BUILDING MAINTENANCE. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE UNDERTAKING, REQUIRING MANY VOLUNTEERS, MEETING THE LEGAL STANDARDS FOR NYS AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, AS WELL AS SIGNIFICANT SUPPORT FOR GENERAL ANIMAL WELFARE.
WE DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE A FACILITY, BUT WE ARE LOOKING TO AQUIRE LAND THROUGH A LAND LICENSE OR BUY DEPENDING ON THE AMOUNT FUNDRAISING, AND THEN USE GRANT MONIES TO BUILD A BUILDING OR PURCHASE A MODULAR UNIT THAT MEETS OUR NEEDS. FUNDRAISERS ARE ONGOING IN THE TOWN OF HANCOCK, AND DONATIONS CAN BE MADE DIRECTLY IN PERSON AT THE HANCOCK NY AT NBT BANK, OR ON THIS GOFUNDME ACCOUNT.
THIS ORGANIZATION IS OFFICIALLY BACKED AND MANAGED BY THE APPOINTED AND HANCOCK NY ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICER FOR THE TOWN AND VILLAGE OF HANCOCK.
