Mission

We spay/neuter homeless and feral cats as we are committed to reducing the number of cats and kittens in our community. We have great volunteers who devote so much of their time to making a difference in the lives of the kitties and to the families we adopt to. We are grateful for the community support we receive and every donation goes directly to cats and kittens. We are an all volunteer based 501 (c)(3).

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
