Overview
Mission
Located just north of Seattle, Hidden Gem Cat Rescue is dedicated to rescuing cats and kittens in the surrounding communities. Through crucial spay and neuter procedures we aim to reduce cat overpopulation and suffering. We are a foster based rescue striving for better animal welfare while making a difference in our community through adoptions, education, resources and programs for low-income pet owners.
What it reported doing in 2024
Foster Program Animals enter our foster program, entering into the homes of foster families which ensures they do not have to sit in the shelter. This diverts many animals each year, preventing over crowding, illnesses from spreading, and increases adoption rates for all surrounding organizations.
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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and liabilities are high compared with assets.
