Our Mission

The Cat Collective is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit rescue whose mission is to reduce the number of cats living on the streets of Harlem, Washington Heights, and the Bronx by providing medical care, finding loving long-term homes, educating the public about street cat welfare, and collaborating with other rescuers to maximize our collective impact. We are a foster-based rescue, meaning our cats are cared for in volunteer foster homes rather than in a shelter environment. We do not operate a public facility. Interested in adopting one of our cats? Please complete our adoption application here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/CCRN/Cat

Adoption Policy

All adopters complete an application, a short interview, a home check (virtual or in-person), and references so we can ensure the best possible match for both the cat and the family. We carefully consider household dynamics — including other pets, children, lifestyle, and experience — to help make placements that are safe, successful, and lasting. Adoption is a lifelong commitment (often 15–20 years), and if a match doesn’t work out, the cat must be returned to our rescue — never rehomed independently or surrendered elsewhere. Declawing is not permitted. The adoption fee helps cover spay/neuter, vaccinations, testing, microchipping, and medical care; it is a contribution toward the cat’s care, not a purchase. We believe normal cat behaviors like scratching, climbing, and adjustment periods are part of the journey, and we’re here to support you — including check-ins after adoption to help ensure a smooth transition.
