Support Us

If you appreciate the work we do on behalf of abandoned cats, and would like to help, please contact us.

Our mission is to improve the quality of life for homeless cats and kittens by placing them in loving homes, or trapping, neutering and returning (TNR) those that are shy or wary of humans.

Fostering Kitten season has arrived! We're swamped with requests for help from people who've discovered a mama cat and litter of kittens in their backyard (or by a dumpster at their workplace). We'll do our best to evaluate the clan: if they're friendly, we'll help you get them adopted; if they're older or feral, or just haven't made up their minds that humans are OK, we'll trap them, get them fixed and let them live out their lives.

Here's where YOU come in. If you love cats and can spare an hour or two out of your day, or if you're not quite ready to commit to adopting, consider fostering a cat or kitten. If you can foster for a few weeks or a few months, you can give a rescued cat or kitten a second chance, and show them that humans ain't all that bad. We provide all the necessary supplies (food, litter, toys), and you provide the TLC.

Fostering provides a great opportunity to provide a safe and loving environment for a cat during their wait for a permanent home. A foster home helps cats adjust to the presence of humans, and become comfortable with the sounds and activity of a home. Fosterers play a critical role in the adoption process by evaluating the personality of their foster cat, and assisting our Adoption Team match their cat with prospective adopters.

If you're interested in fostering, please fill out a foster application, and a member of our Adoption Team will contact you. Got questions?

Donating Money Let's not mince words -- rescuing cats takes money. Although we charge $50 to adopt a cat ($100 for a daring duo), our typical expenses can greatly exceed that amount. Many of the cats we rescue have lived on the streets and are malnourished, and thus require more veterinary care and a longer time in foster care. We also help elderly and low-income persons get their cats fixed. Fat Cat Rescue is private, and not-for-profit, and donations are not yet tax deductible. Nevertheless, any donation to offset our expenses is deeply appreciated. Please contact us if you can help.
