Community Testimonials

From our partner veterinarians:

"As veterinary professionals, our core values are rooted in helping animals in need while supporting our local community. Cat Action Team truly embodies these values, and brings a practical and thoughtful approach to helping as many cats as they can."

From our volunteers:

From our partner veterinarians:

"I’ve recently volunteered with CAT and I love the mission of this organization. It helps seniors, low income families, and people with disabilities keep their pets by providing food and other supplies. It also does TNR work, fostering, adoption services, and more. I recently took traps to an older gentleman who had an overpopulation of cats on his property. By partnering with local ASPCA groups, those cats will be spayed or neutered and then adopted out. It’s great to be part of this group. "

From our fosters:

From our adopters:

"I started fostering cats a couple of years with a Georgia rescue before moving to Virginia, and started searching for a cat rescue to work with. I’ve been fostering for CAT on and off over the last year, and I can say that everything I expected of being a CAT foster is true - they vet cats before they’re placed in my home, any medical issue that comes up when in foster is addressed, and they attract such great adopters. I stay in regular touch with 90% of the people who adopted the kittens/cats I fostered, and love to watch them grow. I cannot say enough about the wonderful work of Cat Action Team."

- Tressa | Crozet, VA

From our adopters:

"We recently had our two wonderful cats pass away unexpectedly. We really missed them. After a month or so we contacted Cat Action Team and they told us about Petey. He is the most loving and comfort-giving cat we have ever met. We have always adopted older cats and previously had a toothless cat so none of this was new to us. The best thing about our adoption with Cat Action Team is that we could count on what they told us. It was an easy adoption process, meeting with them and filling out paperwork. We will certainly contact Cat Action Team again when needed in the future. "

- Laurie | Gordonsville, VA
