My name is One Tuxedo!

We have an amazing team of behavioral specialists that rehabilitate feral kittens into loving pets. We use specialized foster care givers who are trained in feral cat care. The transformation these kittens go through is magical and by adopting a Kokua Cat, you have truly saved a life and helped an entire community. Adopting from our organization is a way to rescue the kittens who need love most.

We are an online adoption service. When a client finds a cat they are interested in, they submit an application and go through an interview process. At that point we will bring the cat to their house and do a home check and let the client meet the pet. At that point if everything is going well, we can approve the adoption and sign the contract. The adoption process can be completed at that time.

Kokua Cats is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit feline rescue based in Albany, Oregon, dedicated to transforming feral, stray, and vulnerable cats from at-risk to valued family members. Our work combines hands-on rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption with community education, wellness programs, and outreach.
We operate two core initiatives:
• “Until They’re Home” Program – in partnership with our local domestic violence survivors program and shelter, we provide confidential, trauma-informed foster care for the cats of survivors. This ensures pets are safe and supported, removing a critical barrier so victims can leave abusive situations without fear for their animals.
• Ohana House & Feral Sanctuary – an open-concept, cage-free adoption and rehabilitation center where cats receive medical care, socialization, and enrichment, and where the public can interact with adoptable cats in a welcoming, home-like environment.
Our activities include:
• Intake, medical care, and socialization of feral and abandoned cats
• Adoption services with ongoing support for families
• Barn cat placements for unsocialized cats unsuitable for home life
• Community wellness programs such as art classes and yoga sessions with cats, designed for both adults and children to foster connection, healing, and joy
• Public outreach to stop the feral cat crisis, including free Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs, trap lending, and hands-on education on humane trapping and colony care
• School and event presentations to build awareness and community advocates
• Volunteer pathways in fostering, socialization, transport, and event staffing
Mission: To reduce feral cat populations humanely, provide safe foster care for survivors’ pets, and create a sanctuary where people and cats connect with dignity, compassion, and hope.
