Overview
Mission
The betterment of the lives of stray, owned and abandoned companion animals in Saginaw County, MI. We are comprised entirely of unpaid volunteers that perform all our services from our homes.
What it reported doing in 2025
TNR (trap-neuter-return)of Community Cats. We live trap free-roaming community cats that typically have a caretaker that feeds. We then transport these cats to veterinarian clinic to be treated for any medical issues, spay or neuter, vaccinate and then return to caretaker's yard. This prevents significant suffering for kittens born outdoors and helps with population control. We TNR'd 230 community cats in 2025.

The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
