Caring for Cats Annual Report

2025 ANNUAL REPORT

Every cat deserves a safe place to land, compassionate care, and the chance to find a loving home. In 2025, our supporters, volunteers, foster families, and adopters helped make that possible for cats who needed us.

A Year of Compassion, Commitment and Community

Because of you, we were able to welcome cats into our shelter, provide medical care, support cats in foster homes, and help families find their new companions. We’re grateful to everyone who made this work possible.

 Where Your Support Goes

Our work includes much more than adoptions. We care for cats with medical needs, support foster families, and help cats who need extra time or specialized care.

In 2025, our program expenses totaled $316,701:

  • $254,654 – Shelter care and adoptions
  • $52,872 – Foster and community care
  • $9,175 – Emergency medical care

Our foster and community care program supported 137 cats and kittens with temporary or permanent foster care and community-based assistance.

Financial Transparency

We take our responsibility to our donors seriously and work to manage our resources thoughtfully while providing the care cats need.

2025                           Income                    Expenses
Actuals                    $510,785               $370,116

In 2025, Caring for Cats received $510,785 in donations, grants, and revenue and had $370,116 in expenses. Donations included a significant estate gift that provided an extraordinary boost to our financial resources.

We are deeply grateful for this generous legacy. Because it was a one-time gift, it is not representative of the ongoing revenue we expect in future years. Continued support from our donors remains essential to sustaining our programs and caring for cats year after year.

2025 Expenses

85.6% Cat care & adoption services ($316,701)

12.4% Management and operations ($45,767)
