Compassion is NOT a Crime

Nationwide, and around the world, compassionate people care for cats who live outdoors. These community cat caregivers are good Samaritans who devote their time, energy, and resources to provide outdoor cats with food, veterinary care, and love.

Leave Them Be

The truth is, in nearly all cases, kittens outdoors don't need to be "rescued." In fact, removing kittens from their mothers and bringing them indoors can be detrimental to their wellbeing. If you see kittens alone, their mother is likely close byand her instincts make her their best possible caregiver.
