What Purrfect Match Cat Adoptions does
Mission
A non-profit organization which rescues cats and kittens from shelters in West Tennessee as well as homeless community cats and owner surrendered cats. We provide them veterinary care, housing and socialization until they are ready for adoption. We do some local adoptions ourselves, but many of our cats and kittens go to rescue partners that we trust in New England to find their forever homes, since the cat over population problem is better managed in those areas and there are more resources available for cats in need.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
We successfully rescued, rehabilitated, and found homes for 385 domestic cats from shelters and abandonment or stray situations. Rehabilitation includes but is not limited to treatment for medical issues, sterilization, vaccinations, and microchipping. We transport and relocate many cats to New England where the homeless cat population is much better managed and adoptable cats from the South are wanted. We have established relationships with several highly reputable cat rescue groups in New England who help find homes for our rescued cats. The accomplishment is placing formerly unwanted pets in loving, permanent homes and reducing stray and unwanted pet population which is a burden on municipal and city shelters. Furthermore, sterilizing every cat who leaves our care ensures they will not be adding to the overpopulation problem in the future.

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 $2k to $26k (+1112%).
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.
100% of PURRFECT MATCH CAT ADOPTIONS’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (86% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 5 funders, grant income rose $3k → $36k.
4 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 93% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
PURRFECT MATCH CAT ADOPTIONS leans on a few funders — its largest provides 87% of grant income and the top three 96%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
99% 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 PURRFECT MATCH CAT ADOPTIONS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 99% · 2020 99% · 2021 100% · 2022 88% · 2023 55% — diversifying over time.
“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.
How long its funders stay
25% of PURRFECT MATCH CAT ADOPTIONS's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 50% 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. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
93% of PURRFECT MATCH CAT ADOPTIONS'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. Of the $18k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Tennessee, across 4 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $230k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
