The Cat House on the Kings (original) (raw)
Welcome to The Cat House on the Kings
Our Mission
The Cat House on the Kings is California's largest no-cage, no-kill, lifetime cat sanctuary and adoption center. Our mission is to place rescued cats and kittens into loving, permanent homes; to provide a safe, happy and healthy home for unwanted cats and kittens in a unique, no-cage facility; to prevent pet overpopulation through spaying and neutering; and to educate the public about responsible pet ownership.
In a Nutshell
Lynea Lattanzio, who founded and runs The Cat House on the Kings, talks about how it came about and gives you a peek into our unique environment in these videos by Jack Perez and Chris Poole:
The Cat House is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, receives no government or public funding, and relies entirely on donations from the public to carry out its mission.
Since its founding 34 years ago, The Cat House on the Kings has saved an estimated 54,431 cats and 7,936 dogs, not counting the 102,576 animals (est.) we have spayed & neutered! We currently care for about 800 cats and kittens, 4 dogs and dozens of peacocks.
