Cat Rangers has rescued over 6000 cats and kittens and placed them in loving homes, provided medical care for countless others, and assisted many families in feeding and caring for their furry family members. This includes many seniors and special needs kitties who would truly have no other place to go. That's why CatRangers was founded as the 'Special Forces' of cat rescue. CatRangers rescues only animals that are facing imminent euthanasia or other life threatening event. These can be shelter animals on death row, abandoned animals, or even those caught up in a family crisis. CatRangers works primarily through their Adoption & Visitor Center in Buford, GA where rescued kitties can recover before finding their loving forever homes.

501(c)(3) charity; gifts are tax-deductible.
67¢ of each $1 spent went to programs.
Run by 48 volunteers.

Names, privacy, and removal requests More

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
