Cat Haven has an ongoing need for dedicated volunteers to help in the care of cats, at our adoption events, and on the many teams that support our programs. Please email to cathaven@cathaven.org or call us at 225-636-2680 if you would like to help!
Who We Are
Cat Haven Inc. is a non-profit organization located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It was established in 1999 to rescue and place cats and kittens in loving homes. In just a few years, we have rescued and found homes for over 5,000 cats. We make it possible for area residents to find the perfect cat or kitten by hosting adoption events every Saturday in the Baton Rouge area. All cats adopted through Cat Haven have been spayed or neutered, tested for feline leukemia and feline immunodeficiency virus, have received age appropriate basic vaccinations, and have been microchipped for identification..
In addition to finding good homes for cats and kittens, Cat Haven has an active program to reduce the number of stray feral cats in our community. We have trapped, neutered and returned over 4,000 cats. The Feral Program reduces the potential for more stray cats and saves hundreds of kittens from the cycle of wild life outdoors by transferring them to Cat Haven's adoption program.
Cat Haven has no paid staff and depends completely on volunteers, members and donors to continue it's work. We host annual events to raise money for our programs and operating expenses. Our annual "Cat Tales & Cocktails Gala", held every September here in Baton Rouge, focuses on our building needs. Other fundraising efforts and donations provide the money needed to operate our programs.
Cat Haven also relies on local veterinarians that participate in our program. They provide quality health care at reduced rates so that we are able to give our cats and kittens the healthy start they need before going to their new homes. These veterinarians also give us the benefit of their experience and are always there to answer any questions we may have about feline health and behavior.
Cat Haven is a Louisiana nonprofit organization with a member Board of Directors that is responsible for all aspects of Cat Haven's operations and is accountable to our membership.
