Overview

Mission

Lulus Locker Rescue exists to ensure that every cat and dog, especially those who are overlooked, forgotten, or misunderstood, has the chance to live a life of safety, love, and dignity. Founded on the belief that no animal should be defined by circumstance, appearance, or age, we are dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming companion animals who might otherwise be left behind.

What it reported doing in 2025

We run an adoption center for cats, and have included expenses here directly related to the running of that facility.

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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
