How many animals does the Thomas J. OConnor Animal Control and Adoption Center receive each year?
We care for nearly 4000 animals each year. The number of stray, abandoned, abused and neglected animals in our care has risen from about 2500 less than five years ago. Our shelter population consists of about 50% dogs and 50% cats. Infrequently, we house other species as well. The number of homeless cats in our facility has risen over 40% in just the past year. The solution to the cat crisis begins in each neighborhood. We can provide low cost or no cost spay/neuter alternatives for our communities’ cat over-population crisis.
