Cats at the Studios, Inc. (CATS, INC.) - Woodland Hills
About Our Rescue Group
CATS AT THE STUDIOS, INC. ("CATS, INC.") Legend has it that back in 1931, movie magnate Jack Warner had a tempermental star on his hands. During the filming of "Public Enemy Number One",James Cagney found his favorite wool cap chewed up by "dirty rats" that had inhabited his dressing room.Cagney fumed to Warner: "Everyone in the world knows the best exterminator of rats is the cat! You ain't seeing me back here 'till I hear some meowing!" The same day, Warner paid a visit to the local animal shelter and returned to the studio with a limousine full of cats. Warner placed a tin can in his office - called the 'kitty kitty' to collect donations for the new studio "employees".
Today most of Tinseltown's original stars have made their farewell performances, but the descendants of Warner's studio cats still roam the sets. In 1984, a group of studio employees on the Warner Brothers lots decided something had to be done for the growing number of homeless cats in their workplace. The result was Cats At The Studios (C.A.T.S. Inc.), a non-profit organization whose caregivers have picked up where Warner left off. All of the cats on the lots have since, and continue to be, spayed/neutered, vaccinated, provided with any additional medical care if needed, and given fresh food and water every day.
The founding members of CATS. INC. have run this organization for all these decades and have found homes for all the tame cats on the lots. Since then, the group has grown and expanded to rescuing cats and kittens from all types of situations and places.
We rely solely on our adoption fees and donations from the public to continue our hard work to rescue all the cats that need help.

Our Adoption Process
All our cats are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, tested for FeLV/FIV, dewormed and defleaed and checked by a vet before placement.
Our adoption process begins with an application that tells us about you, your family and any other pets you have at home. Also, about the kind of cat you are looking for in types of personality, looks, etc. After you fill out the application a volunteer goes over it with you and asks any questions we might have and gives you the opportunity to ask any questions about the cat you’re interested in and anything about our organization. If you are approved, then you fill out a contract with our organization.
We request a minimal donation of $100 for adults and $125 for kittens to help cover a portion of the initial vet care. The donation fee may be slightly higher donation for any purebred or exotics.
Dog adoption and cat
adoption saves lives. Adopt
a dog or adopt a cat and
you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a cat
or kitten versus getting cats for sale or kittens for sale from a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding kittens, they are creating new cats who need homes.
Some people are interested in a very specific breed of cat or kitten and they
think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a cat for sale from
a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage
people to adopt a cat or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA,
humane society or pet rescue group.
