What Helping Paws Animal Sanctuary Inc does
Mission
Mission statement: helping paws animal santuary is a 501(c)3 non-profit, no kill shelter, housing over 150 healthy cats and kittens as well as special needs, fiv and felv cats. They are housed in rooms not cages; waited on by loving volenteers, have toys, tv's with cat videos and water fountains. The goal of the shelter is to not only find them homes, but to provide a wonderful home for the cats while they are in our care. In addition, helping paws will be a resource to the community by educating the public on the proper care of animals and the benefits of spaying and neutering through seminars and field trips.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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 $34k to $68k (+102%).
How it's funded, over time
