Overview
Mission
The TKR community is an active, dedicated group of volunteers who provide foster care for orphaned kittens that are too young to be considered adoptable. TKR provides life-giving care to over 800 kittens annually.
What it reported doing in 2025
TKR rescues over 800-1000 homeless kittens every year, who go on to live healthy lives. The kitties raised by TKR foster families are adopted all over the San Francisco Bay Area.
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
- 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
