Califia Cat Rescue
Our Mission
Califia Cat Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2017, born from compassion and a commitment to change.
After discovering our first colony of unaltered and suffering cats, we quickly realized the problem extended far beyond our own neighborhood. We stepped in to fill the gap, providing the care, safety, and second chances they deserve. What began with a few rescues quickly grew into a mission, and we haven’t stopped since.
Our mission centers around offering essential resources, such as food, shelter, medical and spay/neuter services. We focus on the humane management of community cats through Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), provide critical medical care to ensure the health and well-being of every cat we serve and rehabilitate adoptable cats with the goal of placing them into safe, loving forever homes, so they never have to suffer from human neglect and dangers of life outdoors again.
As we’ve grown, so has our dedication to educating and supporting our local community to build a better future for all cats, feral, abandoned, and in between.
Through education, outreach, and hands-on support, we empower our community with the knowledge and tools to create a safer, more compassionate world for every cat.

Adoption Policy
Our adoption process is designed to ensure the best match between cats and their future families. It begins with an adoption application, where potential adopters share details about their home, lifestyle, and experience with pets. Once the application is reviewed and approved, we arrange an in person meet-and-greet, so adopters can spend time with the cat(s) they’re interested in.
If it’s a good fit, we finalize the adoption with a contract and adoption fee, and provide medical records, transition tips, and ongoing support. Our goal is to create lasting, loving matches that set both the adopter and the cat or kitten up for success.
