Overview

Mission

The organization's mission is the rescuing, vetting and finding adoptive homes for homeless and abused cats and educating the public regarding euthanasia.

What it reported doing in 2023

We have ceased operations. Before that, we were a cat rescue organization dedicated to rescuing and rehoming homeless cats.

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
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 100% of its reported program spending out as grants.

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 revenue has declined or grown slowly.
