We're Here because of people who care About Cats
Support our Pet Food Pantry Mission
We hold monthly food drives at various stores around Charlottesville. Dates can be found on our News and Events page and on our Facebook. Donations support cat colonies across central VA and pet cats whose owners would be unable to care for them otherwise due to income, disability, and other factors. Without your help, some recipients would face the choice between between feeding themselves and feeding their animals. Thank you!
Foster Homes Needed
Could you provide a temporary home for a cat? Without foster families, CAT would not have the means to save hundreds of forgotten cats. With your help in providing a comfortable place for a cat to socialize and grow, we have the opportunity to find them loving forever homes! CAT provides foster families with crates, litter and litter boxes, food, all medical care, as well as training on how to socialize shy cats or kittens. Thank you to our foster families!
Barn Buddies
Do you have a barn? Consider adopting a "working" cat. These are shy or feral cats who need a place to live. Cats are nature’s rodent-control technicians! Give a homeless kitty a second chance and take care of your mouse problem without using poison or traps. CAT provides for cats to be spay/neutered, vaccinated and tested for FIV and FeLV! Sheds, garages, warehouses, covered porches or other outbuildings will also work! Thank you to those who have adopted a barn buddy!

Volunteer with Us
CAT is an organization (non-profit status pending) run solely by volunteers. We need help on a regular basis with TNR (trap, neuter & return), travel to and from veterinary visits, manning food drives, organizing events, taking resources to pet owners, helping to find foster and permanent homes, and with promoting CAT.
