Join the Clowder
(How to get Involved)
It takes a whole clowder of good humans to help community cats find safety, second chances, and occasionally a suspicious amount of canned food. Whether you donate, volunteer, share our mission, or become a champion for cats in your own neighborhood, you’re helping build something life-changing.
💜 Donate
Every dollar helps us turn chaos into care. Your support fuels surgeries, supplies, lifesaving treatment, and second chances for cats who need them most.

More Cats. More Help. More Hope:
✨ In-Kind Donations of Services
Got a talent that could help the Clowder? We love donations of expertise almost as much as the cats love canned food.
Whether you bring marketing magic, social media wizardry, bookkeeping mojo, graphic design sparkle, photography skills, handyman powers, or professional know-how of any kind, your talents can make a real difference for the cats and humans we serve.
We’re happy to provide an end-of-year acknowledgment letter detailing qualifying in-kind donations for tax purposes.
Use your powers for good. The tiny tigers appreciate it.
📣 Spread the Word
Tell your friends. Share our posts. Talk us up online. Every share, recommendation, and conversation helps more cats find the care they deserve.
Help us make more noise for the tiny tigers.
🎉 Fundraise Your Way
Hold a bingo night. Host a yard sale. Bake cookies. Get creative.
The Clowder comes up with amazing ways to support our mission, and we love every bit of it. Big fundraiser or tiny lemonade stand energy—we’re grateful for all of it.
