CAT ASSISTANCE

Help with a friendly cat (stray, or your own cat)

We do not operate a shelter, but we have a successful cat placement program and we can help you. Our program requires that you provide a safe home for the cat(s) until we are able to find a new home.

You can speed up the process by reading this information and providing us with the necessary paperwork.
