Small but mighty.

Our mission is to transform abandoned and abused cats in the Western New York Area into cherished pets. We believe in trap-neuter-vaccinate-return to help control feral cat populations and are a no-kill shelter.

All volunteers. All love.

Lend a Paw.

We are a 100% volunteer run 501(c)(3) organization, meaning there are no paid employees.

We serve out of love.

  • Volunteer

    Our volunteers are the backbone of our organization, literally! We are a completely volunteer-run organization which means without volunteers, we wouldn’t be able to do what we do.
