Jameson Humane

What Jameson Humane does

Jameson Humane is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal welfare organization (EIN 47-1230166) headquartered in Napa Valley, California, founded in 2014 by Monica and David Stevens. Originally named Jameson Animal Rescue Ranch after a rescued Great Pyrenees, the organization rebranded to Jameson Humane to reflect a broader mission spanning education, prevention, and intervention rather than rescue alone. Its programs include mobile spay/neuter services, adoption (including Ella's Cathouse & Adoption Center), foster placement, a Community Animal Assistance Program (CAAP), Community Pet Pantry, multi-species disaster preparedness (cats/dogs, horses, farm animals), senior citizen pet wellness, training and behavior support, the LEAP for Animals program, and the Grants for Global Stewardship grantmaking initiative. The organization reports cumulative impact of 3,734,400 lives saved via spay/neuter and 60,011 lives impacted through other programs across 26 states and 20+ types of domestic animals.

There is no proprietary technology platform underlying the organization's operations. Service delivery is built on physical infrastructure (notably a mobile vet unit), a curated content library covering disaster preparedness, training, and veganic resources, and shelter-management software (Shelterly) for operational tooling. Distribution is direct-to-community through the mobile vet unit, an adoption center, volunteer programs, and a network of 50+ partner organizations including national foundations (Best Friends, Petco Love, Bissell Pet Foundation, Farm Sanctuary), regional humane societies and shelters across Northern California, corporate sponsors (Pet Food Express, Whole Foods Market, Home Depot), transportation providers, and government animal response teams.

Revenue mechanics are donation-based: Jameson Humane relies on individual contributions (via website, employer matching gifts through Double the Donation, and Amazon/Walmart Wishlists), foundation grants, corporate sponsorships, and merchandise sales through a Bonfire storefront. There are no priced products or services, no subscription pricing model disclosed, and no public revenue figures. Annual fundraising is anchored by the Wineapawlooza event, and the organization publishes an annual Impact Report (2025 edition referenced). The primary "customers" served are community members needing affordable veterinary services, adopters, foster caregivers, underserved pet owners, seniors with pets, and partner animal welfare organizations seeking shared resources and expertise.
