Who We Are

Castle Cats is a small organization made up of about 12 dedicated volunteers and fosterers. We care for and rehabilitate un-owned or abandoned cats. We educate the public on the virtues of spay - neuter and our goal is to help shelters in our area transition to no-kill shelters. We rescue from kill shelter and abandoned cats from the streets. We place tame cats in new homes. We strongly support direct adoptions from your local county shelter and adoptions from other non-profit groups on Petfinder. We work hand-in-hand with other rescue groups to help share resources. We spay-neuter stray or feral cats brought to our attention, to the extent that our resources allow. We are unable to take any give-up kitties at this time, but will generally do curtesy posts if you are in our area and meet certain requirements.

Adopting a friend

We seek responsible, good pet owners. We hope we are not overly intrusive, but do like to feel confident that the pet in your care will be safe and cared for. Adopting a young cat or kitten is a 15 yr commitment. All cats over 4-5 months old are spayed/neutered before placement. We have a strict spay-neuter policy. We disclose a full medical history. A contract is signed in the adoption process and there is an adoption fee. You can either contact us first or fill out an inquiry form and email to rice_jk@hotmail.com and we will contact you.
