Overview
Mission
Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and prepare cats and dogs for permanent homes through our low cost spay/neuter clinic and our rescued pet adoption and recovery center in Oakland Park Florida. We further support humane population management through our trap/neuter/return program for free-roaming cats.
What it reported doing in 2024
Our low cost/free spay clinic provided surgery, vaccines and any necessary medical care to 1,515 feral cats, 497 homeless pets residing at the adoption center to prepare them for adoption and 515 free/low cost spay and neuter to the public. A total of 2,527 spay/neuter surgeries for cats and dogs that may have otherwise continue to reproduce and contribute to the over-population crises in South Florida.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Other-operating. 72% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and expenses are high relative to revenue.
