Goals & Strategy

Learn about the organization's key goals, strategies, capabilities, and progress.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

To save the lives of at least 300 cats per year, and place as many of those cats into adoptive homes as possible.

To network within our community and online supporters to find adoptive homes for as many special needs cats as possible while saving the lives of those who are not adoption suitable.

Silver Cloud has a large network of foster homes as well as a sanctuary location. We utilize a public adoption center and attend many adoption events throughout the year.

We have saved hundreds of lives and plan to save thousands more in the coming years.

Policies and processes
  • We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
  • We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
