Welcome to the Catnip Society

Save a life by fostering for us.  Cats and kittens are being saved and placed into forever homes because foster parents give them the gift of time. There is an urgent need for more foster homes at this time.  If you can help give the gift of life, please call  Terri at 209-966-4780.

IT'S COMING!

Kitten season is almost upon us.  With this winter's warmer weather, love has been in the air and now the darling results are appearing.

Catnip Society is committed to saving and finding wonderful, forever homes for these precious beings, but we need your help.
Because we do not have a shelter, we depend on compassionate people to take in and foster these babies until homes can be found for them.

We will place them on our website and on Petfinders as soon as they are ready for adoption.  While in foster care Catnip will vaccinate and arrange for spaying/neutering at the appropriate age.  Fostering is a wonderful way to help.  If you are interested in becoming a foster parent please contact Catnip Society at info@catnipsociety.org or call 742-1023.

There is also a tremendous need for donations to continue to make possible the lifesaving work that Catnip does.  We are a local non-profit organization made up of local people, committed to helping our communities cats, domestic and feral.  We receive no government funding.

In tough economic times there is an even greater need for caring people to work together to help the least fortunate.  Donations of any amount are welcome, it is what we can do together that adds up.
