Our work
The organization is small and deliberately so. Two efforts carry the purpose, one at the scale of a single animal and one at the scale of a genome.
Registered doing-business-as name
Tre Gatti Farms rescues, supports, and advocates for special needs cats. It operates as a registered fictitious name of Moirai Conservation and Research, Inc., so gifts made to Tre Gatti Farms are gifts to this organization.
Animals that arrive with conditions most shelters are not equipped to manage receive lifelong care instead of a shortened one. This is the animal welfare half of our expanded purpose, carried out one resident at a time.
Affiliated project
Maypop Labs is a bioinformatics project focused on the health and lifespan of animals. It mines the genomes of exceptionally long-lived species for the mechanisms behind how long they live, and works to translate those findings into interventions for humans and companion animals.
Maypop Labs is currently an independent project affiliated with the organization rather than a program of it. Bringing it fully under this organization is under consideration by the board.
On the record
Determination letter, governing documents, and independent verification →
Conservation is in our name and in our charter, and it remains one of our long-term aims. It is not work we are carrying out today. What we do now is described above: lifelong care for individual animals, and research into why some species live as long as they do.
We do not collect donations on this page. Gifts are accepted through Tre Gatti Farms, which is a registered name of this organization, so they are received by the same 501(c)(3) and are deductible to the extent allowed by law.
