Overview
Mission
Castaway Cats rescues, rehabilitates, and rehomes (or releases [TNR]) stray or abandoned cats and kittens. Until a new, suitable home is found (if applicable), the organization provides its cats with food, shelter, and medical care. Castaway Cats also provides education to cat parents and potential adopters, in addition to offering assistance in obtaining low cost spay and neutering services.
What it reported doing in 2025
Medical Care and Rehabilitation, Including the Trap, Neuter, Rehome or Return Program: In 2025, 181 cats were spayed/neutered and received required vaccinations. When warranted, our cats were also given medications and other medical care to treat illnesses, manage chronic conditions, relieve pain, and improve their quality of life. Since our inception, Castaway Cats has facilitated the spaying or neutering of 4,676 cats.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 86% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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
STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and liabilities are high compared with assets.
