$216,608 spent59% of program spendingOur animal relief fund (arf): financial aid for emergency and critical emergency care offers assistance to offset all or a portion of necessary procedures to bring the pet back to health. We help pet owners keep their beloved pets in their homes without the added worry of facing financial distress.
$61,522 spent17% of program spendingOur animal relief fund (arf): spay/neuter voucher program offers orange county pet owners a significant discount off a spay/neuter surgery at participating veterinary hospitals and clinics. By making this procedure more affordable by bridging financial gaps for low-income individuals and families, we strive to reduce the number of unexpected litters being born and then abandoned outside or relinquished to already overcrowded shelters. Amid substantially higher costs for services, spay and neuter assistance remains a top priority for oc animal allies.
$54,448 spent15% of program spendingOur orange county cares about cats (occats): feral fix program offers information and resources to orange county residents regarding feral cats and supplies vouchers that enable them to spay/neuter a captured feral cat before it is returned to its colony. A fixed cat will be less likely to get injured in fights and will not continue to mate endlessly. This means less noise and fewer ownerless cats being born outside over time. Reductions in publicly available resources continue to compound the battle to control colony populations by orange county residents.

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 2022 to 2023, from $4.5M to $5.4M (+20%).
How it's funded, over time

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $158k arriving through sponsors registered in 9 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.
