Mission

LEASH Animal Rescue is a no-kill, foster based, 501(c)3 non-profit animal rescue organization run solely by volunteers and is located in Southern California. We founded in 2007 and currently specialize in special needs, neonate, and medical case kittens/cats. Our efforts focus mainly on paralyzed, incontinent, neurological, and other specially-abled cases. We mostly rescue kittens/cats from our local high-kill animal shelters, but we do accept owner surrenders on a case-by-case basis. More often than not, the kittens/cats who come into our rescue are overlooked by members of the public and other rescue organizations, due to their special needs and the little extra attention/care they can require. Our rescue provides these deserving felines the love and comfort they deserve, while accepting them for who they are and giving them the best chance possible for happy, healthy lives!

Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).

Who gave

Contributor names are not public for this form type.

Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.

Finances

Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Where the money went

Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
