Overview

Mission

Longmont friends of feral & abandoned cats (lffac) is a community nonprofit group focused on managing feral cat colonies, using tnr to reduce population over time, and promoting healthy feral cat colonies in longmont and the surrounding area. In addition, under-socialized cats are socialized for adoption.

What it reported doing in 2025

Volunteers provide information about feral and under-socialized cats, to the community through consultations and speaking engagements as requested. Lffac hosts information tables staffed with trained volunteers at community events to increase knowledge about feral and under-socialized cats and awareness of lffacs services to the community. Lffac also provides education to community cat caretakers on how to manage cat colonies responsibly (with tnr & vaccinations at the top of the list) with as little impact on wildlife and human neighbors as possible. Assistance is given, upon request, to individuals experiencing difficulty with under-socialized cat issues.

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 reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
