| 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.
