Overview

Mission

To help end euthanasia of unwanted cats by caring for feral and abandoned felines, spaying or neutering them and when appropriate, adopting them out. Monies donated are used for food, litter, bedding and medical expenses.

What it reported doing in 2025

We have found homes or housed ourselves approximately 1000 cats who were spayed/neutered by six month of age. We have also spayed/neutered several hundred feral cats who live in feral colonies. We also care for the cats still at this no kill shelter, medically and regular day to day care.

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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
