Ultimately, What We Do Is Care

Since 1984, CATS at the Studios has been a 501(c)(3) non-profit, all-volunteer organization dedicated to rescuing homeless, abandoned, and at-risk cats throughout the San Fernando Valley and greater Los Angeles area.

For 40 years, our volunteers have rescued thousands of cats, found thousands of forever homes, and run TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) programs for community cats. From bottle-feeding orphaned neonatal kittens to processing hundreds of adoption applications, we work tirelessly to give every cat a chance at a better life.
