Welcome! The Cat Association of Topeka (C.A.T.) began its operation in the spring of 1988 and since then, has placed thousands of cats and kittens in loving homes. In July of 2003, the organization moved into its current facility. The new shelter features colorful cage-free rooms with lots of cubby-holes, ramps, ledges, ramps, and steps for cats to play or just escape for a much-needed nap. Secure screened in porches provide views of nature and visits from a neighborhing squirrels and birds. Our quarantine room has its own air system, providing a safe environment for recovering or ill cats.

Our Catty Shack retail store sells Hill's Science Diet dog and cat food in a variety of flavors and diets. We have plenty of pet supplies from food bowls to grooming tools. There are unique gift items for pets and the people who love them. It's a fun place to shop and meet some of our feline "greeters". All the sales help to support the shelter. Not a penny is wasted.

We know that C.A.T. provides a great service to our community and has been successful in developing a needed niche. Along with C.A.T.'s adoption program, every opportunity is used to educate the public on the need for sterlization and the importance of vaccinations, good nutrition and proper pet care. We also know, however, that much more needs to be done to help many more cats and kittens. We're still turning away far too many of our furry friends due to lack of space.

As we continue to grow we hope to establish a broad-based volunteer coalition, increas the number of adoptions to caring homes, and expand our Board of Directors. We are also working towards a coalition of other animal care organizations in our community, and increasing awareness in the community.

On our website you'll find information about how we operate, useful pet information, the latest news and fun events at C.A.T. and how you can help us continue to help cats. There's fun stuff to look at and download, and of course, pictures of cats. Stop by to visit our shelter sometime and see the cats. We are always happy to have visitors and the cats love to show off.
