Overview

Mission

The organization maintains a network to provide a range of services to reduce the impact of overpopulation of cats in East Contra Costa County. These services include spay/neuter assistance for pet cats, Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) for community cats, and taking kittens off the streets and placing them into the organization's foster kitten program, in order to prepare them for adoption.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Organization distributes food to pet owners and caregivers who are in our system for over 300 cats at various times during the year. Much of this food is donated by vendors and pet stores. The Organization will also purchase food as needed. (The expense amount listed is an estimate.)

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% 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. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
