EIN 83-3219531 · Animal Protection & Welfare (D20)

What they do

Forever Fortunate Felines Mission is to Save Cats From Animal Control Facilities and Give Them The Love and Care They Deserve In Foster Homes Until They Are Healthy and Ready for Adoption. We Currently Work With Animal Control Facilities In Iowa Chicago Indiana and Kentucky and We Rescue Cats In Urgent Need. We Are A Fully Foster-based Organization Which We See As A Large Advantage As Our Cats Are Not Kept In Cages Which Can Be Stressful & Have An Impact On Behavior and Health. They Have The Opportunity to Socialize With Other Cats Dogs and Kids In The Foster Home. Our Cats Truly Become Well-socialized and The Foster Parent Learns All Their Behaviors and Quirks That They Can Share With You Prior to Adoption Which Makes A Completely Transparent Adoption Process. Additionally We Pride Ourselves On Open Communication Between Our Foster Parents Adopters and Our Screeners Even After Adoption! Were Here for You Every Step of The Way!

How each $100 of revenue was used

Has the pattern changed?

Colored bars = expense mix: how each year’s expenses were divided. Total expenses vs. revenue shows whether the charity spent less or more than it received. The current filing is first.
