During the 2025 tax year, Ruthless Kindness received 1,205 calls from victim service partners and clients seeking assistance. In response to these needs, Ruthless Kindness provided 728 animals, including 466 dogs and 262 cats, with direct veterinary care at zero cost, delivering $242,060 in veterinary medicine value to individuals navigating dangerous or unstable circumstances. $58,853 in pet food and pet supply value was distributed to those requiring support during challenging times. Staff logged 3,621 miles in the RK mobile unit to meet clients in locations where they felt safe and to help them access care. For survivors whose only path to safety required entering a non-pet-friendly shelter, Ruthless Kindness provided 651 days and nights of animal boarding and foster care for their pets, eliminating a critical barrier that often prevents victims from leaving abusive situations. 33 free mobile veterinary clinics were held on-site at victim and human service agency locations serving at-risk individuals and their pets. 26 emergency mobile veterinary appointments provide urgent care for victims with pets needing to escape abuse with their animals. Partnerships with 30 victims and human service agencies were maintained, each actively referring clients with pets to Ruthless Kindness for support. 333486 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 4 0 true 3 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 7 5 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false CA X Friedland Associates 7072999781 10355 Burgundy Way Sebastopol CA 95472 Sarah Reidenbach CEO 40.00 0.00 X X 132316 0 3970 Kate Kuzminski Secretary/Treas 10.00 0.00 X X 40800 0 0 Brandy Kuentzel Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kim Henry Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Melissa Dobar Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Angela Struckmann Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kaushik Roy Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 173116 3970 1 false false false 0 165003 578477 743480 0 245 245 0 0 0 0 0 19661 12606 7055 7055 0 Other Income 900099 1088 1088 1088 751868 8388 0 0 0 0 177086 163457 6815 6814 0 1320 1320 0 2678 2678 13942 13942 0 0 8100 8100 0 16500 16500 0 10311 9513 798 15165 3912 11253 10828 9113 1504 211 0 0 0 7296 6437 598 261 0 3396 2733 663 0 0 6000 6000 10693 10693 Direct program expenses 63653 63653 Clinics 23642 23642 Vehicle expenses 10216 10216 Other 6243 6177 66 0 387069 333486 17881 35702 118166 314038 53109 226348 0 0 0 0 0 0 108 0 31500 22500 15000 9000 0 0 0 0 0 186383 549386 3440 1644 3440 1644 X 182943 547742 182943 547742 186383 549386 364799 X false false false X 62116 220543 225015 465034 743480 1716188 0 0 62116 220543 225015 465034 743480 1716188 6296 1709892 78 245 323 0 1088 1088 1717599 0.99550 0.99990 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 31500 22500 9000 9000 X X X X false Stephanie Mathers 721 N Main St 255 Layton UT 84041 Grant writing false 16500 16500 CA false 19661 6728 5878 true 1.00000 false 19661 6728 5878 12606 7055 CA true false false false 1.00000 Victoria Kostka 5174 Blank Rd Sebastopol CA 95472 false Organized bingo games - present at all true 7055 Part III, Line 17b - Distributions Required Under State Law California $7055 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 Sarah Reidenbach and Kathleen Kuzminski have a family relationship.
