What it says it does

WOLLY KITTEN CLUB IS A MOSTLY VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO PREVENTING CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. WE RESCUE, FOSTER, REHABILITATE AND RE-HOME ABANDONED CATS AND KITTENS IN THE GREATER HOUSTON AREA. WE RECEIVE ANIMALS FROM LOCAL SHELTERS, THROUGH PUBLIC REQUESTS FOR HELP AND THROUGH RESCUE BY OUR VOLUNTEERS. WE PROVIDE SHELTER IN OUR FOSTER HOMES, NUTRITION, SUPPLEMENTS, VETERINARY CARE INCLUDING VACCINES AND STERILIZATION, MEDICATIONS AND SOCIALIZATION (IF NEEDED) TO RESTORE THEIR HEALTH SO THEY CAN BE ADOPTED. THE MAJORITY OF OUR CATS AND KITTENS ARE SERVED THROUGH OUR FOSTER-TO-TRANSPORT PROGRAM WHILE COMMUNITY CATS AND THOSE NOT SOCIALIZED TO HUMANS ARE T/N/R'D (TRAPPED/NEUTER/RELEASE). EVEN THOUGH WE DID NOT INCORPORATE UNTIL 2021, WE HAVE MAINTAINED ANIMAL RECORDS FOR THE PAST 7 YEARS. FROM JANUARY 1, 2018 TO DECEMBER 31, 2025 OUR ORGANIZATION SERVED 4,333 CATS AND KITTENS WITH A 99.15% SAVE RATE.

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.

Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (2)
  1. $50,166 spent. FOSTER-TO-TRANSPORT PROGRAM: DUE TO THE SIGNIFICANT ANIMAL OVERPOPULATION IN SOUTHEAST TEXAS AND LACK OF LOCAL ADOPTERS, WE HAVE PARTNERED WITH A LOCAL TRANSPORT ORGANIZATION AND A RECEIVING RESCUE ORGANIZATION IN MINNESOTA TO FIND HOMES FOR OUR FOSTER CATS AND KITTENS. IN 2025, WE RESCUED, FOSTERED AND PROVIDED VETERINARY CARE TO 782 CATS AND KITTENS WHO WERE THEN TRANSPORTED TO MINNESOTA TO BE ADOPTED INTO LOVING HOMES. IN 2025, OUR AVERAGE DAILY CENSUS WAS 75 CATS AND KITTENS AND THEY STAYED IN OUR CARE AN AVERAGE OF 35 DAYS. HOWEVER WE ARE COMMITTED TO FOSTERING EACH CAT OR KITTEN FOR AS LONG AS NECESSARY UNTIL THEY ARE READY FOR ADOPTION, SO THERE IS NO LIMIT ON HOW LONG THEY STAY IN FOSTER CARE AND THEY ARE NEVER EUTHANIZED FOR SPACE.
  2. $2,019 spent. TNR - TRAP/NEUTER/RELEASE - WE PROVIDE SURGICAL STERILIZATION AND APPROPRIATE VACCINES FOR FREE ROAMING COMMUNITY CATS WHO CANNOT BE SOCIALIZED OR PLACED FOR ADOPTION.
