saving lives, enriching yours

2013 ANNUAL REPORTANIMAL RESCUE FUND OF THE HAMPTONS, INC.

ARF’s mission is to actively rescue cats and dogs, provide quality care and offer sanctuary until loving homes can be found

May 30, 2014

Dear Supporters,

2013 was another record-breaking year for the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons (ARF) with more animals rescued and adopted than ever before. A total of 1,113 cats and dogs were adopted into loving homes, which is an 8% increase over 2012. This is the second year in a row that we have placed over 1,000 animals which makes ARF one of the largest and most effective shelters on all of Long Island.

Charity Navigator, America’s largest independent charity evaluator, granted ARF a 4-star rating for the second year in a row. ARF is in an elite group with only 19% of the charities in the United States earning 4-stars two years consecutively.

Our long term vision for the organization includes an exciting, major capital project here at the Adoption Center that would allow us to double the number of adoptions, provide Sanctuary housing for hard to adopt cats and dogs and build a dog training center where dogs and their handlers could enjoy training classes year-round. We have hired the Bacon Group one of the nation’s leading animal facility architects to help us with these plans.

We are a publicly supported charity and receive support from over 13,500 households, foundations and corporations. We are proud to list most of them in this annual report. We celebrated in August with the Bow Wow Meow Ball held for the first time at the Adoption Center. The lovely Bernadette Peters was our honoree and helped make it the most successful benefit in our history with a total of $500,000 raised!

During the summer of 2013 we also launched the LemonARF program where young people sell lemonade and other treats to benefit the animals at ARF. In its first season, children who participated in LemonARF raised over $5,000!

We at ARF know that your pet is part of your family. There are numerous medical benefits associated with pet ownership. We cannot thank our adopters enough for sharing their testimonials of all the values they reap owning their four-legged friends. Thank you for sharing your letters, emails and photos with us. We love hearing from you! Please be sure to go on our Facebook page and follow ARF’s lively posts and share them with your friends.

All of us at ARF feel fortunate to touch so many lives with the work we do. We want to continue to save lives and enrich yours. Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Lisa McCarthy Sara DavisonPresident of the Board Executive Director

Financial Information For the Year Ending 2013

Operation Cat (Op Cat):Founded 16 years ago by Board Member Zoe Kamitses, Op Cat is the only TNR (Trap/Neuter/Return) program covering Westhampton Beach to Montauk. In 2013 Op Cat saw 1,210 cats fixed and a 34% reduction in kitten intake from the wild.

People United with Pets (PUP) Program: ARF’s PUP Program provides a safe haven for pets when their owners are in a period of crisis or difficulty due to illness, domestic abuse or the limited means of many seniors. PUP provides veterinary care, boarding or in-home care, food, grooming and/or transportation to those in need.

Humane Education:ARF staff members teach students from pre-school to high school about the basics of animal care and the importance of spay/neuter. Student internships are an excellent way for young people to learn about caring for cats and dogs.

Pet Therapy:Volunteers and ARF staff bring our animals to local daycare centers and nursing homes where a child or senior citizen may enjoy a purring kitten in their lap or an affectionate, playful puppy by their side.

Free Clinics:Each year ARF provides free microchipping, rabies shots and free or low cost spay/neuter services to our local community.

Dog Obedience and Agility Classes:Our extremely popular and affordable dog training classes help strengthen the bond between dog and owner and help prevent people from giving up their dogs because of poor behavior.

Annual Meeting & Pet Celebration Day:Each year ARF holds its Pet Celebration Day & Annual Meeting on the ARF campus. The morning activities include election of board members and annual report to the members followed by lots of fun including contests, treats for animals and humans alike and a chance to greet the ARF alumni who are now enjoying their second chance at life with their new families. In 2013 we were proud to recognize three dedicated volunteers with the Friends of Animals Award: Eunice Bennett, Mina Kahofer and Cathy McHugh.

Emergency Pet Evacuation:ARF is the official Emergency Pet Evacuation Center of the Town of East Hampton.

Volunteers:Volunteers are the lifeblood of ARF. There is nothing these dedicated men and women won’t do to help the animals as they wait for adoption including: walking and socializing dogs, socializing and bottle-feeding young kittens in their home, working at offsite adopt-a-thons and special events, caring for community cat colonies, manning the Thrift & Treasure Shop and so much more. Every year ARF honors its volunteers with a Volunteer Appreciation Party, as well as laud outstanding commitment to the Friends of Animals’ Award at the Pet

Celebration Day and Annual Meeting.

Thrift & Treasure Shop:Open seven days a week in bucolic Sagaponack, the ARF Thrift & Treasure Shop has something for

everyone. All donations including clothing, housewares, furniture or other

gently used items, are tax deductible. 100% of the proceeds earned at the Thrift Shop go directly to benefitting the animals

at the ARF Adoption Center.
