FosterCAT RESCUE · EST. 2019

A Victorian house on a quiet side street

Every cat here has a name.
And a story.

We rescue cats from storm drains, surrenders, and hard circumstances. Come meet them Wednesday through Sunday — no appointment needed, but a visit reservation helps us prepare.

Our Residents

Meet the cats

Each profile is written by the person who knows them best — the volunteer who sits with them every morning.

Harriet was a library cat for four years before the library closed. She still sits on shelves and judges everyone who passes, which we find charming.

The Visit

How it works

Unhurried, handmade, already home. Three steps from your front door to theirs.

01

Book a Visit

Pick a Wednesday–Sunday slot that works. Tell us your first name and a phone number — nothing else needed. We'll hold a 45-minute window just for you.

Wed–Sun · 11am–5pm
02

Meet the Cats

Walk through the house at your own pace. Cats are free-roaming in the common rooms. Volunteers are nearby but won't hover — the cats do the introducing.

No pressure, no rush
03

Take Them Home

When you've found your match, we handle a short adoption conversation — temperament, home setup, any other pets. Most adoptions complete same-day.

Same-day adoption possible
