ANALYSIS
The City of Miami Beach holds a management partnership with The Cat Network, Inc., to deliver a
comprehensive community cat trap-neuter-return (TNR) program entitled Project CatSnip.
The City's goal is to develop a program that: is community-wide in scope; effective in humanely
reducing the local community cat population by educating the public about the need to sterilize their
pets and strays; provide access to low-cost spay/neuter services for stray, homeless and abandoned
cats; help members in their efforts to place adoptable cats in loving homes; and advocate non-lethal
population control via natural attrition and humane public policy.
SOBE Cats Spay& Neuter, Inc. ("SOBE Cats") is a charitable 501(c)(3) corporation that assists the
City in providing spay and neuter services for community cats one weekend a month. The yearly
lease for the trailer that the City used to conduct these surgeries expired on September 30, 2017.
SOBE Cats has signed a new lease for a trailer, from New Action Mobile Industries, LLC, to
continue to provide these valuable services.
The City has agreed to pay the sum of$10,000 per year toward the leasing costs incurred by SOBE
Cats. In return, Friends of Miami Animal Foundation, Inc. has agreed to donate the sum of$25,000
to the City to be used by the City to defray the annual leasing costs of the trailer.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends accepting a $25,000 donation from the Friends of Miami Animal
Foundation, Inc. to be utilized for the purpose of defraying the leasing costs of a trailer from New
Action Mobile Industries, LLC.
