What it says it does

WE PROVIDE LOVING CARE AND A LIFE-LONG HOME FOR SENIOR AND SPECIAL NEEDS KITTIES. FLOWER FELINE SANCTUARY TAKES IN FERAL CATS WHO ARE NOT CONSIDERED ADOPTABLE INTO A TYPICAL HOME, SENIOR KITTIES WHO MAY HAVE AGE RELATED HEALTH OR BEHAVIORAL ISSUES, AND CATS WITH CHRONIC MEDICAL CONDITIONS THAT REQUIRE EXTRA CARE. WE MAINLY WORK WITH RESCUE GROUPS AND ANIMAL CONTROL FACILITIES WHO DO NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES TO HOUSE THESE KITTIES INDEFINITELY. WE USUALLY DO NOT ADOPT OUT OUR CATS BECAUSE THE KITTIES WHO COME TO US HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED TRAUMA AND UPHEAVAL AND DESERVE THE PERMANENT SECURITY A STABLE ENVIRONMENT CAN OFFER.

Financial health

We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.
