Overview

Mission

Connecting people to the spay-neuter, wellness, and enrichment resources they need to help community cats and companion animals be safe, happy, and healthy.

What it reported doing in 2025

Spay-neuter ("snip, snip hooray") program: this is our premiere prevention program geared toward helping reduce the number of intact, homeless animals that enter the municipal shelters. We educate citizens about trap-neuter- vaccinate-return (tnvr) as an option for community cats. Through our workshops we teach people how to help themselves or their neighborhoods.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 87% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and liabilities are high compared with assets.
