What Cat Action Team does
Mission
Cat Action Team's mission is to improve the quality of life for cats in central Virginia through a trap-neuter-vaccinate-return program, a foster-adopt program, and a pet retention-colony maintenance program.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Trap-neuter-vaccinate-return program: In 2025, Cat Action Team TNVR'd a total of 971 cats and kittens: 572 females and 399 males. The 63 kittens and cats in the foster-to-adopt program who were spayed or neutered are included in these numbers.
$171,582 spent$176,836 earned by the program67% of program spendingFoster/Adopt Program: In 2025, Cat Action Team took in and fostered 69 kittens and cats with the help of 23 foster homes. In addition, 14 cats & kittens were in foster care from 2024. All kittens and cats in the foster-to-adopt program receive veterinary care, vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. The number of cats and kittens in the foster-to-adopt information is reported to the Virginia Department of Agriculture annually.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $26k to $49k (+92%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
100% of CAT ACTION TEAM’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (86% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $193 → $10k.
5 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 91% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of CAT ACTION TEAM’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
CAT ACTION TEAM leans on a few funders — its largest provides 44% of grant income and the top three 80%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
98% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund CAT ACTION TEAM.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 91% · 2022 95% · 2023 95% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
91% of CAT ACTION TEAM's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $10k that is directly attributable, 80% of it comes from funders outside Virginia, across 2 states.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $99k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
