Overview
Mission
Building a better community through kindness and compassion towards animals.

Rescued a 6 year old cat from convenience euthanasia. The cat was put on a weight loss diet and given a dental cleaning with extractions and was able to be rehomed within a few months.
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. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
