EveryCat Health Foundation advances feline health by supporting groundbreaking research and education. Every cat, every day benefits from our foundation.
Everycat Health Foundation Inc’s largest recent award was a $496,832 grant to Morris Animal Foundation for the FCoV23 Consortium Project, a clear sign that the foundation supports multi-project feline research at consortium scale. Across its recent giving, it backs veterinary researchers, clinician-scientists, and shelter medicine programs working on feline health research, feline infectious disease, feline oncology, diagnostic development, and clinical therapeutics. The foundation also funds collaborative and targeted research projects, including repeated support for university-based studies in cat health and welfare. Its portfolio shows a steady emphasis on research rather than direct service delivery. Grants in the recent list go to animal-health institutions and universities such as North Carolina State University, University of California Davis, Colorado State University, and Iowa State University, often tied to specific project codes and study series. The presence of consortium work alongside individual project awards suggests a mix of larger coordinated efforts and smaller targeted studies. A recurring theme is support for cats as the beneficiary population, with grantmaking aimed at advancing feline medicine through research and related initiatives.
A major theme is feline infectious disease research. The foundation gave $496,832 to Morris Animal Foundation for the FCoV23 Consortium Project, and it also supported university studies tied to feline health and infectious-disease work, including a $50,000 grant to Cornell University for MT23-50. Clinical and translational veterinary studies are another clear area. It awarded $189,363 to North Carolina State University for feline health research grants, including CaPK23-003-2, EC25S - 06, EC24F-290, and EC24F-281. It also funded University of California Davis with $104,296 for multiple feline health research grants in 2025. Shelter medicine appears in the recent record as well. Morris Animal Foundation received $25,000 for Joint Shelter Research, showing that the foundation supports research linked to shelter settings in addition to university-based feline medicine projects.
Typical grant size sits in a narrow research-grant band: p25 is $32,923, median is $49,980, and p75 is $68,283. That points to many awards clustering near the $50,000 level, with occasional larger consortium-scale grants above that range. The recent list also shows repeated funding to the same institutions across multiple years, including North Carolina State University, University of California Davis, University of Missouri, Colorado State University, and Cornell University. The foundation is structured as a private foundation rather than an operating program, with no individual giving and no program-related investments reported.

Grant recipients are spread nationally across the United States, with 100% of recent grants going to U.S. organizations. The most frequent recipient state is Iowa, even though the foundation’s headquarters is in New Jersey. Recent awards reached major research centers in California, North Carolina, Missouri, Colorado, and New York, with recipient cities including Davis, Raleigh, Columbia, Fort Collins, and Ithaca. The pattern reflects a national research footprint anchored by university veterinary programs rather than a single regional focus.
It funds feline health research, veterinary research, feline infectious disease, feline oncology, diagnostic development, and clinical therapeutics. The recent grants list also includes shelter medicine research and multi-project consortium work, showing support for both targeted studies and collaborative research efforts.
Typical awards are close to $50,000. The grant-size distribution shows a p25 of $32,923, a median of $49,980, and a p75 of $68,283.
No. The recipient country distribution shows 30 grants to U.S. organizations, or 100.0% of the recent grants listed.
