Our Mission

Our organization is dedicated to improving the lives of stray and abandoned cats through rescue, recovery, socialization, and adoption programs. We often receive calls from community members who have no other resources for assistance with stray and abandoned cats, and we step in to help where others cannot. While we find permanent, loving homes for cats that are adoptable, we ensure that unadoptable cats are placed in safe, managed environments with ongoing care and support. Through these efforts, we aim to promote animal welfare, reduce the suffering of homeless cats, and foster a compassionate community.

Adoption Policy

Our adoption process is designed to ensure the best match between our cats and their future families. We start with a pre-screening application, followed by an interview (virtual or in-person) to learn more about the adopter’s experience and home environment.

Once an applicant is deemed suitable, we arrange virtual or live visits with the cat and conduct a home check to ensure a safe environment. References may be checked as needed. If approved, the adopter completes an adoption agreement, and we provide medical records and post-adoption support to ensure a smooth transition.

We are committed to placing our cats in loving, responsible homes and remain a resource for adopters after the adoption is finalized. If for any reason an adopter can no longer keep their cat, we require that the cat be returned to our rescue.
