Overview
Mission
The primary goal of the foundation is to provide advanced medical care to shelter and rescue kittens placed in our program that would otherwise be euthanized due to increased medical costs and or not being able to provide the advanced around the clock nursing care necessary to have a successful outcome. Through education, we train fosters, rescues and shelter staff to be confident in nursing skills, as well as, providing medical consultation to other veterinary professionals to allow them to help kittens in their area.
What it reported doing in 2025
Provided critical care, supplies and grants 70 kittens that would have been euthanized.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 90% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 84% 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 revenue has declined or grown slowly.
