Overview

Mission

Angel's wish is dedicated to reducing animal overpopulation, rehoming companion animals, and raising awareness of animal welfare issues in south central Wisconsin.

What it reported doing in 2024

Adoptions - the organization rescues animals in need and rehomes them to loving homes. All animals were spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and felv/fiv tested prior to adoption. The organization also makes microchipping available to the public twice per month and offers spay/neuter services by request. In 2024, we took in 1,005 cats, including transfers from mostly Wisconsin-based humane societies and rescues. We adopted out 949 cats.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 82% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
