Heads up! We will not be having adoption hours at Petco on July 4th. We will be back on July 11th! Please email adoptions@thecatpeople.org if you are interested in adopting a cat off our website, or if you would like us to find the purrrrfect cat for you! (Please do not email us asking to take cats. We have no room! If you need some tips, Click Here!)

Please support The Cat People in the Tails of Bakersfield fundraiser! For $10 (you can choose to donate more) you can enter your pet’s picture and a brief description to be featured on the Bakersfield Californian. When you submit your $10, you can donate the proceeds to a organization of your choice–among those choices is The Cat People. This is your chance to give your pet a chance to shine in the public eye. (And help out your favorite organization!) Click here to get started! And hurry! The last day to submit photos is August 31st at 12 o’clock noon.

We appreciate the support you provide for us!

For the past three Saturdays at Petco, we have had zero adoptions. We are extremely overrun with cats and literally have no room left within the organization. On top of low adoption numbers, we struggle with rising food, supplies, and vet costs. Plus we have very low volunteer rates as our need for help increases.

If you are interested in adopting a cat, donating, or volunteering, I urge you to step forward. We need help to keep this wonderful organization going, so we can continue to help the needy cats of Bakersfield. As a frequent volunteer myself, I can say that my experiences with The Cat People have been nothing but rewarding. 

I would like to thank everyone who participated in the Panda Express event and express how thankful we are for your support. 

Thanks,
