Overview
Mission
Saving companion animals via empathy education, rescue, and spay/neuter efforts in Southern California and beyond.
What it reported doing in 2025
The Fuzzy Pet Foundation (TPPF) rescues, rehabilitates, and rehomes more than 200 cats and dogs each year. We take in stray and owner-surrendered animals and work tirelessly to place them in loving, permanent homes. Expenses include veterinary care and foster reimbursements.
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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
