Overview

Mission

Our mission is to provide food, shelter, and vet care for the stray cats in our community. We capture cats that have not been spaded or neutered and provide them the vet care needed, so we can reduce the number of stray cats in the community. In addition, we try to adopt cats to loving families and our goal is to significantly reduce the number of cats living in the wild without proper care.

What it reported doing in 2025

We currently take care of dozens of rescues and have had all of them neutered and spaded and have provided vet care when needed. We currently provide care for a pregnant momma kitty and will get her spaded once the kittens are old enough and hopefully get all the kittens adopted to loving homes.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
