About

The Cat People, an all-volunteer organization, was founded in October of 1990, in Bakersfield, California, by two friends outraged at the treatment of abandoned helpless felines. They soon gathered a group of compassionate individuals who wanted to help these animals. The mission statement grew to encompass the plight of homeless felines city-wide. Out of this grass-roots effort grew a non profit organization with a Board of Directors and a solid administrative base. The mission of The Cat People is to reduce the cat overpopulation through spay/neuter programs and compassionately manage feral cat colonies. Today, our efforts include a variety of programs that are 100% run by volunteers.

Adoption process

If you are interested in adopting one of our cats or kittens, please complete the questionnaire. Completing this form does not automatically qualify you to adopt an animal from us. All applications are reviewed. You will be contacted within 5 business days after the questionnaire has been received. Please note that in some cases there may be multiple applications for the same cat. Several factors are considered to determine an appropriate adopter for the cat's individual needs. Many of our rescues have been traumatized due to cruelty, abandoned by a previous owner, or subject to situations beyond their control. As a result, The Cat People feel it is important the new owner is willing to make the commitment to provide a loving, stable, and forever home.
