MAISIES CARING FOR CATS NFP
EIN 92-3012966 · Animal Protection & Welfare (D20)
What they do
THE MISSION of MAISIES CARING for CATS is to IMPROVE THE LIVES of FERAL, STRAY and COMMUNITY CATS IN MASSAC COUNTY, ILLINOIS BY SPAYING and NEUTERING, PROVIDING REGULAR FEEDING, and PROVIDING NECESSARY VETERINARY CARE. THE ORGANIZATION WILL WORK to FIND HOMES for ADOPTABLE CATS, BUT MOST OTHERS WILL BE RETURNED to THE NEIGHBORHOOD FROM WHERE THEY CAME (TRAP, NEUTER, RETURN - TNR). THE SMALL, RURAL COMMUNITY HAS AN OVER POPULATION of DOMESTIC CATS DUE to ABANDONMENT and THE FAILURE of CAT OWNERS to SPAY and NEUTER. THERE is NO GOVERNMENT RESOURCE to IMPROVE THIS SITUATION. THIS RESULTS IN A LARGE NUMBER of STRAY and FERAL POPULATIONS. THE LIVES of THESE CATS ARE SHORT and DIFFICULT. THEY STRUGGLE to FIND FOOD. THEY SUFFER FROM BACTERIAL and VIRAL INFECTIONS THAT RESULT FROM FIGNTING WITH OTHER CATS, LACK of ADEQUATE NUTRITION, and PARASITIC INFESTATIONS. AGGRESSIVE TNR WILL CONTROL THIS PROBLEM.

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue by $48,508 this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
Financial picture
A plain-language look at the latest Form 990 figures available. These numbers help you ask better questions; they do not, by themselves, rate whether a charity is good or bad.
How each $100 of revenue was used
The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.
Expenses were greater than revenue, so the colored ring fills the available $100 and the total above 100% is shown below.
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.
