KITTY BUNGALOW

"Charm School for Wayward Cats"

Mission

Kitty Bungalow is a community cat organization and kitten socialization facility. We focus our attention on providing services for the most vulnerable of felines. Our cats and kittens come from the mean streets of Los Angeles, whether directly from TNR, pulling from LA Animal Services, or working with our remarkable rescue partners. Kitty Bungalow provides the community with free TNR services, which allows for thousands of cats to be fixed, receive vaccines and flea treatment, and get returned to the people who care for them. Kitty Bungalow intakes hundreds of kittens each year into Charm School. Our dedicated family of onsite volunteers and foster parents care for our "students" and use fear-free socialization techniques to take street cats from 'hiss to home.'

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Trap, Neuter, Return

TNR gets to the root of the feline overpopulation problem by preventing thousands of unwanted kittens being born in the streets every year. TNR also reduces the number of cats euthanized in shelters.
We developed our TNR program to help community members who see the problem and feel empowered to facilitate change. We believe it is EVERYONE’S responsibility to TNR community cats & prevent kittens.
Our partnerships with organizations such as Pasadena Humane, Spay4LA, and SNPLA allow for Kitty Bungalow to manage large-scale TNR operations and offer TNR services to the community, free of charge.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
