During 2023, the need for our rescue effort was definitively demonstrated through dramatic increases in the number of fostered cats and adoptions we experienced throughout the year. We fostered 514 cats, over twice as many versus our first operational year in 2022. Thanks to our partner rescues and our adoption efforts, 333 cats in our care found their forever homes in 2023. Those remaining in our care are being cared for until we find the best home for them.

Our Continuing Challenge
Every year we take into foster care many cats and kittens some of whom may not have received all the preventative medical care they need. We provide supportive care for sick and injured felines when veterinary services are unavailable. We ensure that our new arrivals receive medical assessments and ongoing treatment as prescribed by our veterinary partner. Our goal is to ensure that all our adoptable cats and kittens find their perfect match with a loving and caring family.
We at Cat Cove, Inc. are so grateful to have been able to rescue hundreds of cats in 2023 and look forward to continuing our mission in the coming years.
