In the last 12 months The Cat's Voice West Virginia (TCVWV) has taken in 473 cats and kittens through rescue, TNR, owner surrender and rescue/transfer. We have successfully adopted out 307 of these animals and have built a network of animal rescues, veterinarians, and fosters with the common goal of reducing cat overpopulation and finding loving homes for cats in Eastern West Virginia.
The Cat's Voice WV is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that is dedicated to controlling the overpopulation of cats in the Eastern Panhandle of WV through Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) programs, and rescuing abandoned, homeless, and helpless cats. ALL animals adopted by and in TCVWV are spayed or neutered and given all necessary medical care.
The Cat’s Voice WV, Inc. was created by experienced animal rescuers in December 2019 after they saw an immediate need for assistance with the overpopulation of cats in rural eastern West Virginia. In this rural region cat rescues must step up so many senior, ill, pregnant and unwanted cats are not euthanized. We are an all-volunteer and foster-based organization that runs exclusively on donations from our local community, fundraising and grants.
The goals of The Cat’s Voice WV are two-fold: the intake and adoption of cats from community members who have found strays or who are in need of rehoming due to illness, death, or change of lifestyle (moving, pregnancy, age, financial crisis, etc.) and to support local TNR efforts to care for and sustain current feral cat colonies.
In 2021 TCVWV was awarded grants for TNR and spay/neuter from the Bissell Pet Foundation, The Two Mauds Foundation, Walmart Community Grants, and the West Virginia Spay and Neuter Program. These funds are helping us to remedy the serious pet overpopulation crisis in West Virginia.
There are no no-kill shelters, no food pantries and very few opportunities for low cost spay/neuter or low-cost veterinary care in Eastern West Virginia. Every animal rescue in this area has been overwhelmed with veterinary medical bills, food bills, and the burden of serious sickness and death among our cats.
TCVWV envisions a “Country Roads” care program to allow us to care for more unwanted animals and develop a network of organizations and people to promote spay/neuter efforts. With additional funds we could:
• Cover emergency veterinary medical costs for adult and senior pets
• Expand the network of and among local animal rescue groups
• Facilitate spay/neuter services especially for low-income West Virginians
• Support transport of animals to medical appointments and adoption events
• Establish a pet food pantry to support local rescues and pet owners in need
We have an active fundraising program and host many events to raise funds and promote our adoptable cats, but resources are never enough to meet our needs.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
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 dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
