Bridging Non-Profits, Corporations and Communities
Bridge: A structure spanning and providing passage over a gap or barrier. Something resembling or analogous to this structure in form or function: a bridge of understanding between two countries. From the Middle English brigge, from Old English brycg.

What WorksINCREMENTAL STERILIZATION• Targeted Programs
– Low Income– Feral– Shelter adoptees
• Sustained– Minimum five years
• Significant levelsper 1000 human pop– 5 - low income– 1.25 - feral

What is needed, ASAP
OVER baseline: Formula for surgeries: • 7138 targeted low income • 2479 feral cat • Total Targeted surgeries = 9617
Goal:• Sustain five years, 30% drop in intake
HOW DO WE ACHIEVE THIS ?
![Page 27: Briggs Presentation OVMA Nov 2007 · 2019. 12. 23. · 2 Bridging Non-Profits, Corporations and Communities Bridge: A structure spanning and providing passage over a gap or barrier](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081616/5fe7fde2e162a418f756550c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
What IS the Baseline?The Sterilization Marketplace
• Est.Owned Cats:462K- 86% Sterile• Feral Cats:102K- 5% Sterile• Total intact cats 65K owned,97K feral
• Owned cats replaced annually 15%• Surgeries annually to achieve 86% rate
sterile=59.6K• Target surgeries OVER baseline 9.6
• Total = 69.2K surgeries in 4 counties• 16% increase -14% TARGETED

Impact of low cost surgeries on private clinics
Concerns by vet community:• Quality of care• Loss of business
![Page 29: Briggs Presentation OVMA Nov 2007 · 2019. 12. 23. · 2 Bridging Non-Profits, Corporations and Communities Bridge: A structure spanning and providing passage over a gap or barrier](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081616/5fe7fde2e162a418f756550c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Quality of Care
• Specialists in S/N• National Task Force creating standards
of care manual for S/N Clinics.
![Page 30: Briggs Presentation OVMA Nov 2007 · 2019. 12. 23. · 2 Bridging Non-Profits, Corporations and Communities Bridge: A structure spanning and providing passage over a gap or barrier](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081616/5fe7fde2e162a418f756550c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
Business Impact
Need to work together tothe raise care of animals
• S/N subsidized must be incremental• Large percentage of cats not seeing
veterinarians• Analysis of Maddies’s programs with
VMAs/Charities showed that aggressive S/N programs did not cause substitution,but raised private vet S/N surgeries as well.

WHAT IS BEING DONE ELSEWHERE ?
State Legislation– Delaware 2006– Illinois 2005
both cover low income, homeless pets and feral catswith state funds to reimburse participating veterinarians
• Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont

BASIS FOR PUBLICLY FUNDED PROGRAMS
Reducing animal control costs…
• NH Program – Saved taxpayers $3.23 for every $1 spent on S/N subsidies in first 6 years
• National survey found it cost $176 for each animal impounded vs. $60 ave. S/N subsidy

Questions/Considerations• What is the baseline of sterilization
surgeries now? Can we learn together where we are and what will work?
• Is a state program feasible? Could we design one together?
• Can we tackle the ASAP area where human population and euthanasia are highest ?
