Overview
Mission
We place more cats in homes, 759 from 2020 to 2025, in spite of covid, spend more on vet care and cat food, more than $496,000, and feed more colonies (more than 70 each night, colonies, not cats) than any other Hudson County cat rescue group.
What it reported doing in 2025
We rescue and find homes to more than 150 cats per year, 500 cats in homes from 2020-2023 in spite of covid in 3 of those 4 years, 172 cats in homes in 2024
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
