Overview

Mission

To help the international community in Japan by providing cat rescue and problem solving assistance so they are better able to rescue and care for stray and abandoned cats.

What it reported doing in 2024

Japan Cat Network directly helped 360 people 360 community members helped directly with assistance from JCN volunteers. We supported 6 community cat colonies and trained 8 community members in TNR (trap-neuter-return). We also TNR'd 11 cats. During the year, we had 73 new intakes and 44 others continued their care at our rescue house or in foster care, and 53 cats were adopted to their forever homes.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 90% 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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
