Overview

Mission

Our primary purpose is to provide a solution to domestic animal overpopulation. Although we focus on dogs and cats, because of their excessive numbers, other animals living within urban areas are also rescued and treated well. Our primary method is fostering and adoption but we also incorporate trap-neuter and release of feral cats that can't be contained.

What it reported doing in 2012

Found loving homes for over rescued dogs and cats. Neutered and continued to supply food for 480+ feral cats every month. Have made a noticeable dent in the number of feral cats breeding in our area. We also provide the public with useful tools on humane alternatives to euthanasia.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 79% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.

Key Signals

Signals prioritize questions for review. They are not findings of misconduct.

Grant-readiness screening is separate from the live rating, not a measure of program quality. Review the source records before making a grant decision.

  • Moderate — Sustainability: Operating margin scored 30/100.
  • High — Sustainability: Total-asset coverage ratio scored 8/100.
  • High — Grant Readiness: Automatic revocation: this organization had its federal tax-exempt status automatically revoked.
  • Review — Grant Readiness: California registration: this organization could not be resolved against the register, so the check is unfinished.
