Overview
Mission
To provide affordable spay/neuter services and basic veterinary services for owned, community, and shelter cats within our service area.
What it reported doing in 2025
We spayed/neutered 1,023 owned, shelter, or community cats in 2025. We provided other basic services such as vaccines, deworming, flea treatments, ear mite treatments, and microchips upon request or on an as needed basis.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 85% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
