URRKN is the worst in the country. They do not save any kittens. They are not a rescue. They are a mere paper pusher who collects big $$$$$ in donations from folks who think they rescue cats. They don't. All the money they get and it is in the thousands goes toward home office, equipment???, supplies???travel?????? not any goes to vet bills, shelters, fosters, humane societies or even to the high kill shelters in their own backyard. They are nothing but corrupt. They use all unpaid volunteers to do all the work. No one is paid. See their 990 tax filings. Then you will see this is a $$$$$ hook. Ask for an accounting of the funds and your question is deleted, and then you are blocked, banned from the URRKN page. No answers or transparency there. They have delivered sick kittens, was the direct cause of the death of 1 adopters own cats, lost cats, had cats taken off their "trains" which is illegal and all the while going on as if no big deal. Taking a cat off a transport is a felony. URRKN's words for one such incident was "well the important thing is it got a loving home anyway". Of course the person who took the cat off the transport apologized to URRKN and offered $$$$$$. No charges were ever filed. Talk about corrupt. This is the one.

Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Animal Protection & Welfare, Animals
Mission: We are an animalwelfare organization. Our goal is to assist in saving the lives of cats and kittens that are in shelters. Far too many animal shelters in the united states are overcrowded, and resort to putting healthy animals down because they do not have the facilities to care for them while they are looking for "forever" homes for them. Urrkn has a nationwide network of more than 6,000 volunteer drivers in 50 states that will help to provide transport for these animals from their shelter to their new forever homes.
Target demographics: Kitties reach happy & healthy forevers
Direct beneficiaries per year: Cleared our 500 th kitty home and just about to break 500k miles traveled.
Geographic areas served: Animal Rescue across the USA
Programs: We are going to the shelters to teach them how to use free resources to save more!
