Cream, gray, and black cats eating from plates

Kitty cats everywhere, kitty cats everywhere.

A cat in trouble should leave with a future.

Mindy Kratz helps homeless and foster cats in Rock Springs. Every pet is spayed or neutered. A home is checked before a cat leaves. Care covers the whole animal, not a stay in a holding pen.

How it works

How it works

A cat comes in, gets fixed, and leaves only after the home is checked.

  1. Take in

    Homeless cats and foster cats come into care. This is not a place to sit and wait.

  2. Fix

    Every pet is spayed or neutered.

  3. Check the home

    Fosters and adopters are vetted. A cat does not go to the first person who asks.

  4. Leave with a future

    The cat leaves ready for a home, not just out of surgery.
