Benchmark, Live Release Rate

Live Release Rate: 93% (84 ÷ 90)

Formula: (Adoptions + Transfers to other agencies + Returned to owner + Returned to field) ÷ (Adoptions + Transfers to other agencies + Returned to owner + Returned to field + Died in care + Shelter euthanasia)

= (44 + 8 + 1 + 31) ÷ (84 + 5 + 1) = 84 ÷ 90

Cats still in foster care are reported as ending inventory and are not included in the Live Release Rate denominator.
