Fiscal Responsibility: All of our rescue and adoption activities are conducted by volunteers; therefore, our administrative costs are extremely low and nearly 100% of contributions go directly to fund the medical costs and veterinary services necessary to prepare our rescued cats and kittens for adoption. This includes basic vaccinations, treatment for fleas and worms, as well as spaying and neutering. Other medical conditions are treated as necessary, primarily eye and skin infections.
Management: All business and policy decisions are made by the volunteers who serve as our Board of Directors. This Board meets on the 4th Wednesday of every month at 7 pm at the Taft Community Center. Members of the public are welcome to attend.
