Overview
Mission
We rescue, cats and kittens, provide necessary vetting including spay and neutering, vaccines and microchipping and adopt into permanent home. The animals we rescue come from kill shelters and off the street, abandoned animals. We try to find their original owners and if unsuccessful find them new homes. We also assist the community with low cost spay-neuter programs and educate the public on the importance of spay-neutering and vetting their pets.
What it reported doing in 2024
Rescue and placements - in 2024 we rescued 305 cats and kittens from shelters and the streets and adopted 227 cats and kittens into forever permanent homes
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- 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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
