Cats About Town Society (C.A.T.S.) incorporated on March 19, 1998, with a mission to rescue, protect and support cats in need in the Sacramento area and to help reduce the suffering that is caused by overpopulation.

C.A.T.S. is an all-volunteer group without any paid staff. Most of our cats and kittens are surrendered to us by people who cannot or do not want to care for them anymore. We also take in abandoned, orphaned or stray cats.

Our rescued cats and kittens mostly live in foster families until they are adopted into permanent homes. A foster family has the chance to get to know the cat well and tell a prospective adopter about the kitty’s likes, dislikes, and little quirks. Observation, treatment for any medical condition and socialization are the key advantages of our foster family program.

C.A.T.S. spays and neuters all animals in our system before we offer them for adoption. We have our animals tested for feline leukemia (FeLV) and vaccinated (FVRCP/kitty colds & rabies) as appropriate for their age.

C.A.T.S offers a lifetime return on all animals adopted through us. Our adoption contract stipulates that the animal must be returned to us if the adoption does not work out. This is to prevent a cat from being abandoned or taken to an animal shelter where it may be euthanized. Adoption fee refunds will only given when cats are returned within 2 weeks of adoption and with all medical and adoption paperwork.

Every year, we place hundreds of cats and kittens in caring, permanent homes. As a non-profit organization we depend on contributions and grants to continue our rescue efforts.
