What Orphan Kitten Rescue does
Mission
To provide rescue to orphaned kittens found on the street. We provide food shelter and medical treatment. Once the kitten is healthy and of age we find their forever homes by posting them up for adoption on our website.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
We provided medical care for 300 kittens and cats in 2024. The range of services provided is extensive. Depending on the needs of each individual cat here is a list of medical procedures administered with the goal of a completely healthy animal: all 3 core FVRCP vaccines rabies vaccine if age appropriate parasite treatment flea treatment dewormer nail trim Giardia test FeLV FIV test if age appropriate microchip with lifetime registration Panleukopenia test if clinical signs require. In addition we provided emergency medical care to injured cats. Some examples of that are eye enucleation and fixation of broken limbs.

To that end we spend a great deal of money on housing feeding and nurturing them. We provide clean bedding litter boxes food and feeding supplies such as bottles nipples and syringes. In addition they are given nutritional supplements to stabilize their digestive system. Once the kittens and cats are healthy they are put up for adoption on our website. There are also adoption events and fairs. Carriers are provided with each adopted animal.

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
2 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 Orphan Kitten Rescue’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
Orphan Kitten Rescue leans on a few funders — its largest provides 86% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 Orphan Kitten Rescue.
“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
100% of Orphan Kitten Rescue'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $38k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
