My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Katie, a warn and loving, black cat who will greet you first thing when you get home. She is someone to tell you all about her day and all that you missed. She’ll be ready to jump into your lap and settle in for the night. She’s the perfect, remote "co-worker!” If you've said wanted any of these in your pet, it’s time to adopt Katie.

Katie is about 5 years old, rescued from a tree in Hillside. Although one can't be sure what got her up in the tree, we are indebted to the firefighter that scaled the tree to bring her to safety! We are sure Katie chatted the whole way down from the top branches with her rescuer.

Katie is dog-friendly and would delight older kids with her playful antics. She is cat-selective in that she co-exists with cats, but she will tell you that she most prefers people.

Katie will reward her family with unlimited happiness and lots of head-butts. Her black coat means she will go with all of your house decor! And you'll never have an empty lap again. Apply now to meet her and bring her home to your family.

All cats/kittens are:

-spayed or neutered

-up to date on vaccines

-flea and parasite free

-micro-chipped

Kittens can be adopted by filling out an application at: www.catvando.org/adoption. Please send an inquiry with any questions!

More about this rescue

Our primary mission is to prevent kittens through a Trap Neuter Return (TNR) program. However, sometimes we get Trap Neuter Adoption (TNA’s). When shelters are full, we foster, socialize and vet the kittens. This part of our program also involves local youths in the care of kittens in addition to our TNR efforts.

While in our system, kittens are fed a good quality Grain-Free Kibble and care is taken to assure their long and healthy life to the extent possible. We supplement for specific issues i.e. Pro-biotics, EFA's, immune boosters and sometimes digestive enzymes.. Many are exposed to dogs and are comfortable with them. They’ve been exposed to many wonderful volunteers of all ages.

When possible we capture the mama with the litter to assure their fuller development. Many times we keep them together for 9-12 weeks. Our adoption fee covers spay neuter surgery, FVRCP & Rabies vaccinations, parasite, ear mite & flea treatment when necessary, and a micro chip. And some of them have a small ear tip—just a reminder that you’ve given a cat a home that could have otherwise had to fend for itself, on the streets.

Our adopted cats and kittens are welcome back for the duration of their life in the event the adoption doesn’t work out, or if it becomes impossible for you to keep the cat. We’re always available for consultation about behavior, health, or referrals to assistance beyond our scope.
