POA's objectives and goals: 

• Provide shelter and veterinary care to cats and dogs until they can be matched with responsible owners. 

• Reduce the number of stray animals in Connecticut through spaying/neutering programs.

• Increase community awareness of the importance of spaying/neutering, as well as providing information about proper pet care throughout all stages of an animal’s life - a critical component to ending animal overpopulation and homelessness. 

• Humanely reduce the populations of community and feral (unsocialized) cats through the strategy of Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR).
