Mission
To rescue homeless, abandoned or neglected cats and kittens, including those with significant medical needs, feral tendencies, or scheduled for euthanasia by providing food, shelter and medical care within our organization until able to place in a permanent home. We remain an integral part of the new family support system so that we are proactively working with family should behavioral problems arise bringing about the desire to return their adoptee. We are also working with other 501c3 rescues to provide spay and neuter services with our volunteer veterinarians so that the rescues can free up space to rescue other cats as their cats are fixed and then find homes.
Program accomplishments
- Our organization is 100% devoted to rescue and placement of cats and kittens, rescued from high-kill shelters and rescued from the communities. This period from 3/1/24 to 2/28/25 we placed cats and kittens into their forever homes. We provide all their food, litter, housing, medical and work with each one to socialize enabling the cat or kitten to find their home. Our expenses are directly related to their care and revenue is their adoption fees and donation. * We have partnered with trappers to do trap/neuter/release services that has been at no expense to us nor has drawn in revenue. * We have been working with the community, educating and helping these families to continued to provide homes for their adoptees, working through issues that may have caused the family to return the cat or kitten. This year we also have helped community and rescue partners pay for medical emergencies.Expenses $86,898 · revenue $105,429
- * Due to the dire situation in obtaining spay/neuter appointments in the Bay Area for our rescue cats and kittens, Whis-Purr Rescue raised funds for the 2021 Rescue Coalition Spay/Neuter Van Project! This van will help cat rescue groups all over the Bay Area get prompt spay/neuter appointments at consistent and affordable rescue prices! Access to these services will accelerate adoptions and will maximize the number of cats and kittens we can save from euthanasia at local shelters. * Local humane societies and many spay/neuter clinics closed their doors because of COVID-19 restrictions. This resulted in a kitten population explosion leaving the shelters overcrowded as they continue to receive unprecedented numbers of cats and kittens surrendered upon reopening mid-2021. * Humane societies and vet clinics cannot keep up with this historic demand and the waiting list for spay/neuter appointments stretches for months. The prolonged wait for pre-adoption surgeries causes kittens to grow up at the rescue locations instead of in their forever homes. This lack of space prevents other rescue cats and kittens to be safe from Euthanasia! * This coalition was formed to help. *Whis-Purr Rescue's Coalition Spay/Neuter Van Project has completed fundraising for a medical Van purchased 'used' from Snip. At this date we are in the process of equipping our Van prior to service. The Van has been up and running since March 2022.Expenses $67,535 · revenue $88,961
- Whis-Purr Rescue established a 'Cat Sanctuary', a third program based on the number of cats at the rescue who have never been adopted due to late rescue situations. These cats are either feral or fearful. These cats have been at the rescue, in some cases for up to nine years. The Sanctuary cats are worked with to help them to feel more comfortable and engaged at Whis-Purr. We have dedicated volunteers spending time with them and using clicker training technigues, so that they have enrichment in their home with us. As the Sanctuary cats age, they have developed medical needs that we are addressing as well. We provide for each one with loving care.Expenses $8,067 · revenue $450
