The life-saving sheltering and adoption of 1,247 cats was our largest program this year. In the last 28 years, we have adopted over 14,000 cats. We assist people in our community through family oriented, thoughtful adoption programs and many educational services.
The safe care spay and neuter clinic was the first permanent low cost clinic just for cats in north carolina and only one of three clinics in a region of over one million residents. We served clients from 35 north carolina counties this year. We sterilized 5,647 cats and kittens through the clinic, 2,080 who were feral cats.
Safe haven for cats fed 633 dogs and cats in the community and distributed 14 tons of food to needy pet lovers. The goal of this program is to assist pet owners when times are tough so they do not have to abandon or give up their pets.

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.
