Our Mission
Saving cats’ lives through community solutions.
Our Vision
Madison Cat Project aspires to serve as a model shelter and adoption program and strives to educate the community and other organizations on the humane care and adoption of all cats.
Our Beliefs
These core beliefs guide our activities. Madison Cat Project believes:
in the Adoption Guarantee that all cats in our care deserve a safe and permanent home.
that all free-roaming cats deserve humane care.
that an outdoor home is an appropriate adoption outcome for some cats.
in educating the public and other shelters to create partnerships to reduce euthanasia of cats.
in humanely and efficiently reducing cat overpopulation through targeted Trap-Neuter-Return programs.
in removing barriers to adoption.
in partnering with other communities to find solutions to their cat population concerns.
Our Strategic Pillars
We have three strategic pillars that guide our decisions.
1. Solid Financial Foundation ensures Madison Cat Project remains a strong, viable organization
2. Strong Governance empowers board members, staff and volunteers to do their work proficiently while feeling supported in their efforts
3. Animal Welfare Leadership ensures we uphold and exceed the standard for effective population management and the overall well-being of animals in our care
4. Community Support allows us to offer accessible services and resources, improving the lives of community and owned cats in collaboration with the public and other organizations
We will work toward achieving these pillars through several strategic directives related to financial sustainability, enhanced operations, education and outreach and board governance.
Specifically, our strategic plan is broken into these 8 directives:
Financial Sustainability
Programmatic Operations
Human Resources
Education and Outreach
Brand Identity
Population Management
