We at Spots and Stripes recognize and appreciate the many truely non-profit groups that work for the benefit of feral cats, wild cats, and homeless cats and kittens.� These groups work out of their homes, make-shift offices, even out of their cars.� Some do not have 501(c)(3) status, which may mean donations could or might not be deductible.� They may be a single person or a group of hundreds, out rescuing and helping cats on a daily basis.� Becoming a non-profit corporation, and then filing for tax-exempt status is a long, tedious, and expensive process.� One which we ourselves went through for the benefit of our donors that we would have complete transparancy.� Today, there are very few links here.� By the end of the year, We sincerely hope the page is over-flowing, and we can start breaking them down, state by state, country by country.�

There is only one criteria for listing here.� NO ONE must profit a dime from their works with cats.� If you sell a book on your website that profits you instead of the proceeds going to your charity, you WILL NOT BE LISTED.� If you have ads on your site, that is fine as long as the revenue goes to the charity.� If you SELL cats to make a profit for yourself, YOU WILL NOT BE LISTED.� If you ask for a donation at adoption to cover the costs of "speutering" and vet bills, that is fine.� We will be checking up on you, and if we find you are profiting personally from your charity, WE WILL HAVE A BLACKLIST FOR YOU!�

Submit your site to:� spotsandstripes@comcast.net� and we will get back to you as soon as possible.� Let's fill up a few pages here!
