Every Helping Hand Saves a Life
We’re a 100% volunteer-run rescue with no office, shelter, or paid staff. Every hour you give and every dollar you donate goes directly to saving cats and kittens in the San Fernando Valley.

Sometimes, we need an extra pair of hands to help us at Petco with morning and evening cleaning, feeding, giving fresh water, and scooping the litter boxes of the rescue cats temporarily housed on the premises. This takes about one hour for each visit, two times per day. Cuddling and playing with the kittens and cats while cleaning is a bonus, and it helps with socialization!
Our needs may differ from week to week. Occasionally, we need assistance transporting cats to adoption locations or bailing them out of the shelter. Finding loving homes for these deserving kittens and cats takes a village of caring people.
Be a Community Foster
Community Fosters bring in their own rescue kittens and cats. Often, community members find kittens or cats in their backyard or want to rehome their cat. We’ve established a Community Foster Program to help.
Like our regular Fosters, Community Fosters are required to have cats spayed or neutered, tested for FeLV/FIV, vaccinated, treated for fleas, de-wormed, and nails trimmed before scheduling them for adoption events. Each Community Foster is fully responsible for all expenses incurred, though we may provide vaccinations, flea treatment, and worming medication at a reduced rate.
Petfinder Listing
Excellent photos are essential in helping your cat find a forever home. Use natural sunlight to enhance your photos. Each biography should include the cat’s name, sex, estimated date of birth, breed(s), length of fur, and a personality description.
Adoption Events
Adoption events are held each weekend at Petco. Check our website for locations, days, and hours. You’ll receive a cage reservation email each week. If you book space and can’t attend, please notify us so another person may use your cage.
Medical Records
Before adoption, your cat must be spayed/neutered, vaccinated, receive flea and de-worming medication, have clipped nails, and be presentable. Bring two copies of all medical records to each adoption event.
Placement
We adopt only to homes that will keep cats indoors and will not declaw. We don’t adopt pets as gifts and have guidelines regarding young kittens in homes with no other pets or very young children. CATS Inc. determines the adoption fee and retains all fees to help offset medical expenses.
