What Palm Beach Island Cats Inc does
Mission
Manage the feral cat population in Palm Beach, Florida
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Feed and Clean Team - 372 community cats in 67 colonies are fed and watered every night between 3 and 5 AM. The team leader then circles back and picks up any remaining food and replenishes the water. The cats gather for feeding which allows them to be monitored for any medical conditions requiring treatment. These cats are trapped and treated by our specialty veterinarian. Our work is invisible due to our before dawn schedule.
$89,384 spent52% of program spendingField Director's Work - The field director coordinates trapping, transporting cats, works with colony caretakers, responds to all citizen calls, domesticates trapped kittens, works closely with the feeding team leader, orders and delivers food.
$39,535 spent23% of program spendingCat Population Control - Fertile cats are identified when kittens are observed, or new cats recognized when they appear at the feeding stations. These cats are trapped, vaccinated, sterilized, and returned. The success of our program is based on all cats being spayed and neutered so there is no population growth, and that population decreases through natural attrition and old age. Our goal is to eventually have no free roaming cats. The evidence of the program's humane success is that the population is now 50 lower than when we started 15 years ago.

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 2017 to 2018, from $126k to $214k (+70%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 8%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
96% of Palm Beach Island Cats Inc’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (86% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 8 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.

44% of Palm Beach Island Cats Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 64% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $132k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
