Overview

Mission

Kenosha forgotten friends, inc. Is a non-profit organization whose mission is the rescue, rehabilitation and placement of homeless, abused, abandoned, neglected and surrendered animals. Our goal is to nurture these animals in loving foster homes while providing quality veterinary care, socialization and rehabilitation while seeking to place them in permanent, loving and responsible homes.

What it reported doing in 2025

This year we took in 78 animals. In 2025 kenosha forgotten friends continued to help with the special needs of animals that have large veterinary bills. We took in several cases this year that included broken legs, hip replacements, autoimmune disease, and congenital defects. We had 86 adoptions and many more through our courtesy posts. For our courtesy post animals, we require adoption applications which include background checks on potential adopters whom we also interview for the surrendering owners. We offer this service free of charge to help in rehoming the animal to a proper safe place. We have also expanded our mealsforpaws program which helps pet parents in need. Monthly deliveries are made to supply food to their doorstep. We have also expanded into helping some with the veterinary needs of their current animals to allow people to keep their own pets and not be surrendered. We are strictly volunteer, so no one has a salary and many fosters and volunteers donate not only their time but supplies.

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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
