Overview

Mission

To rescue, neuter/spay/microchip, provide shelter and medical care for, and find permanent homes for adult stray cats.

What it reported doing in 2025

Our organization rescued 103 cats in 2025 and found permanent homes for 67. We are a no-kill facility, euthanizing animals only when they are suffering and can no longer be helped medically. The ones who are not adopted continue to reside at our facilty either permanently or until homes are found. Our faciltiy is divided into 2 areas, one of which currently houses 40 cats who are for the most part healthy and adoptable, and the other of which houses 22 cats with either feline leukemia of FIV(Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). The cats with Feleuk or FIV are adopted much less frequently than the others, but all cats who are not adopted will live out their days with us, receiving the same attention and medical care as the adoptable cats. Through 2025, we have taken in 4,670 cats and have adopted out out 3,753 to permanent homes.

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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
