Overview
Mission
Animal welfare. We take in stray and abandoned animals, provide vet care and place them in homes. We do TNR (Trap Neuter Release) and provide care for community cats to keep the community healthy, assist caretakers and slow the issues of overpopulation. We assist with costs of care for animals in need of medical care where it enables the animal to remain with their caretaker. We partner with the community to provide information so that they are empowered with the information to do what they can to help animals and help educate others to help animals.
What it reported doing in 2025
Do Trap Neuter Release (TNR) with a team going out in the field and trapping, typically at locations where caretaker cannot and where there are a large number of cats in need. 160 animals impacted.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 73% 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. Some filed totals do not add up and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
