Overview

Mission

To help stray and feral cats in putnam county. We practice trap-neuter-return because we believe it is the most effective and humane way of controlling feral and stray cat populations and protecting wildlife.

What it reported doing in 2012

All of our cats are spayed or neutered, and microchipped before they are adopted out.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 95% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
