$18,000 Goal

Since we were founded in late 2018, Kitty Revolution’s mission has been to help the unwanted, the misunderstood, the less-than-perfect cats and kittens in our communities.

Since 2018, we've taken in over a thousand cats - 1374, to be exact. Last year, our operating budget was $161,000. We took in 273 cats in 2023. Our vet bills alone were over $143,000. Most of our expenses are medical. None of our money goes towards salaries - we're an all volunteer run organization. Approximately $10,000 of our budget went towards cat food for our caregivers.  The rest of that was admin overhead (like sales tax and insurance).  

We don’t shy away from the cats whose spirits have been broken, who have forgotten or maybe never learned how to trust, the ones with serious medical needs and chronic illnesses. We’re the bridge between their past and their future – no matter how long it takes.

When Large Marge the Magnificent arrived at Kitty Revolution, she weighed a whopping 28 pounds! She was found in a box along with her two adult children, Molly & Tamale. Marge and Tamale were so tightly packed in the box that we didn’t think there could possibly be another cat in that box. Large Marge was so enormous that she completely covered Molly. After coaxing  Marge out of the box, we then discovered poor Molly hiding underneath. 

Large Marge is slowly losing weight under the close supervision of our vet. Though weight loss is the goal, rapid weight loss is not a good thing, as it can lead to loss of lean muscle and can put Marge at risk of severe liver disease (hepatic lipidosis or fatty liver syndrome). She's lost about two pounds so far on a restricted calorie diet. Exercise (like playing with a wand toy) is definitely encouraged. Marge is always in good spirits. She's taking her new regime in stride. 

We don't see dollar signs when we take on a cat in need. We just know they need our help. Of course, since we rely fully on donations to keep the rescue running, we need your help to continue to be able to say yes to cats in need. 

Thank you for caring when others did not, thank you for giving when others could not, and thank you for sharing in our mission to make the world a better place for cats and kittens. Because of you we can picture a world where every cat is happy, healthy and loved.
