Working to help cats in Kern County since 1990.
The Cat People is a nonprofit organization that was founded in 1990 to eliminate the suffering of unwanted cats and kittens. A group of women started working together over 20 years ago to help the abandoned cats and kittens in Hart Park in Kern County. Today, the organization runs a sanctuary, Pawsitively Cats, that shelters emergency rescues and abandoned felines as they search for a forever home. The organization has an official contract with the county to manage the colonies in Hart Park, and it provides spay/neuter vouchers and food to low income families to assist them in keeping their beloved pets cared for and altered.
Our cats and kittens want to meet you.
Looking for a forever friend? Is someone you know trying to find the purrfect pal? Be sure to think of The Cat People first. We work hard to match our adopters with the most wonderful cats and kittens. We are also proud of the excellent medical care our adoptable cats and kittens receive. We ensure all of our animals get a complete medical exam, receive a combo test, medicated for fleas and worms, vaccinated, and altered. If you adopt a kitten that is too young to alter, you will receive a voucher covering the full cost of the spay or neuter.
