Cats at the Studios, Inc. (CATS, INC.) - West Covina
CATS AT THE STUDIOS, INC. ("CATS, INC.") Legend has it that back in 1931, movie magnate Jack Warner had a temperamental 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.

Our Adoption Process...
All of our cats receive a health check from a veterinarian, are tested for FeLv/FIV, vaccinated, spayed or neutered, dewormed, and treated with Advantage for fleas.
Our adoption process begins with an application that you fill out, this 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 are interested in and anything about our organization. If you are approved, then you fill out a contract with our organization and pay our adoption fees which vary according to what type of cat or kitten you are looking for and you can usually take the cat or kitten home right away.
