Cat Care Network

What We Do

Cat Care Network builds communities of cat caregivers.

Together, we help cats who are abandoned, neglected, or in need of care.

Supporting pet owners.

We deliver monthly cat food and/or cat litter to low-income households until their lives are stabilized. Will provide essential supplies as needed (litter pans, cat scratchers, flea collars, food dishes, etc.). And provide transportation to/from vet appointments.

Helping abandoned or feral cats.

We partner with caregivers and ARL of Iowa’s Trap-Neuter-Vaccine-Return (TNVR) team to support community cats. We provide monthly cat food plus live trapping, transport, and pre-/post-surgical care.

Providing crisis support.

We help cat lovers rescue kittens, re-home pets, provide temporary shelter, and much more.
