Who We Are
The Cat People, an all-volunteer organization, was founded in October of 1990 in Bakersfield, California by two friends outraged about the actions of an urban landlord who trapped abandoned cats and drowned them. They soon gathered together a group of individuals who shared their concern -- and the group's mission grew to encompass the plight of homeless cats city-wide. Out of this grass-roots effort grew a nonprofit organization with a Board of Directors and a solid administrative base. The mission of The Cat People is to rescue, rehabilitate, and find good homes for Bakersfield's homeless and down-on-their-luck felines.
Adopting a friend
The cats and kittens we rescue from our feral colonies, from our managed urban colonies, or from the streets and the alleys, are fostered until they are socialized, healthy, and old enough to be placed for adoption. We require an adoption contract, and a fee of $50. If you rent, we will call your landlord to verify permission for pets.
If the kitty you adopt is not old enough to be spayed/neutered, we send along a voucher so the new owner can get this done free of charge and we check with owners to see that the surgery has been done. All of our pets are vaccinated. WE DO NOT SHIP any animal;(please check a shelter near your home. There is just the right companion there waiting for you!) We normally only adopt to residents of Kern county. However, under the right circumstances, we will work with a potential adopter in the southern and limited areas of central California . Please e-mail us concerning specific situations.
We want to thank our adoption partner Petco.
