Pet Care Foundation is a 501c3, non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue, care, spay/neuter and adoption of homeless pets.
Pet Care Foundation directs its grantmaking to homeless pets through rescue, care, spay/neuter, and adoption support. In the latest grants listed, its largest award was $35,000 to Kitten Rescue in Los Angeles, and its portfolio also includes $30,000 to Fixnation in Sun Valley and $25,000 to Stray Cat Alliance in Los Angeles. Those gifts point to a funder that works through animal welfare groups and municipal shelters rather than individual grants, using project support to move animals toward adoption and help organizations deliver services on the ground. The foundation’s active program is framed around animal welfare organizations and city shelters, with support for adoption events, spay/neuter clinics, targeted partner grants, and related programming such as grooming. Recent awards also show support for shelter-facing groups like Pasadena Humane Society and Los Angeles Animal Services, alongside rescue organizations serving cats, dogs, and mixed companion-animal populations. Its annual grants total is $320,000, and the current grant list shows a concentrated pattern of support for organizations operating in Greater Los Angeles and nearby California communities.
A core theme is cat rescue and adoption work. Pet Care Foundation gave $35,000 to Kitten Rescue in Los Angeles, $30,000 to Fixnation in Sun Valley, and $25,000 to Stray Cat Alliance in Los Angeles, all of which align with rescue and animal-welfare services. Spay/neuter and population-control efforts are another clear thread. The foundation awarded $23,000 to Better Together Forever in Glendale and $10,000 to Pasadena Humane Society, both within an animal-welfare context that includes spay/neuter clinic support. It also backs shelter operations and public-facing animal care. Grants to Los Angeles Animal Services, Kitty Bungalow, and Wags & Walks show support for shelter and adoption infrastructure, while the active program description includes grooming programs to increase adoptability and adoption event funding.
The recent grants cluster in a modest-to-midrange band: the listed awards run from $7,000 to $35,000, with several at $10,000 and $7,500. That suggests a mix of anchor gifts and smaller project grants rather than a single uniform grant size. The recipient list shows one-year awards in 2025 across the current file. Pet Care Foundation is a public charity, not a program-related-investment funder, and it does not fund individuals. Its active program description says it provides financial grants and project support to animal welfare organizations and municipal shelters. Unsolicited applications are not accepted.
