It appears that mistresss_mmmary's charity is not quite legitimate. Not that she won't take checks or Pay Pal. Whatta piece of work!!!

From CA Attorney General's office:

Animal Advocates is not registered with our office. We have received a copy of their articles of incorporation from the Secretary of State, but have not received the additional information from the organization which is needed to process the registration. A temporary number has been assigned - A30061. We will send the organization a notice to register letter.

This office does not evaluate which charities are "legitimate" or "worthy" in response to public inquiries. Individual opinions vary on the effectiveness of many of the charities. However, we encourage prospective contributors to carefully check the organizations they plan to support. This can be done by getting as many facts as you can, including the charity's exact name, address and telephone number. If solicited by telephone, ask to be mailed information about the charity's purpose, goals and finances before making any donation. Ask how your money will be used. Ask how much money will actually reach the charity and whether the solicitor is being paid to make the call. Also ask them if contributions are deductible for tax purposes.

Sincerely,
Candy Hetherington
Registry of Charitable Trusts
