Overview

Mission

To ensure the rights and welfare of homeless and/or abandoned felines by providing sanctuary, medical care and loving companionship for the remainder of their lives. To educate the community regarding the importance of, and provide assistance in the spaying and neutering of domestic animals.

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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and liabilities are high compared with assets.
