Overview

Mission

In Fremont County and Southwest Iowa, Faith in Action's projects are developed with resident input to support community where all people may live independently with dignity.

What it reported doing in 2025

TNR of Community Cats: "One pair of unspayed/unneutered cats and their offspring can produce 420,000 cats in just seven years." In 2025 with input from Fremont and Page County community members and the skilled help of volunteers, we transported 9 cats to Hearts United for Animals low cost S/N Clinic. 36 volunteer hours to transport @ $27= $972. 720 miles were logged @ $2.00 to transport the cats = $1,440. Surgery cost w/ basic vaccinations @ $50 each = $450. Other owned and colony cats needed vet care, vaccinations or medications = $991. Pet owners, colony and foster caregivers benefited from our support with donations of food and other supplies valued @ $1,880 for the year. Donations from the public to our TNR program = $1350. Volunteer hours given to answer and respond to community requests for assistance: gathering and delivering supplies on request, arranging for temporary foster care and long term colony support, transporting to vet appointments, delivering cats to good rehoming situations: 120 hours @ $27=$3,240. Cost of food and supplies to support foster and colony caregivers and to help pet owners in need.
