01What it does

What City Whiskers does

Mission

The rescuing of felines in and around the five boroughs of New York City and its surrounding communities, to adopt them out to permanent households without cost or fees associated, and to foster or permanently sanctuary those who cannot be adopted.

As stated on its FY2020 Form 990.

Program

Rescuing felines, providing food and veterinarian care, adopting out those who are able to be adopted to the public free of charge, and providing forever sanctuary for those who are too elderly, infirmed, abused, or otherwise unadoptable. In addition, refer to Schedule N, Part III.

The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.

Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.

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.
