From The Kitty Squad, Inc.
The mission of The Kitty Squad is simple: to save lives, support our community, and make a difference for cats who need a second chance.
The vision of The Kitty Squad is that one day, every cat - no matter their age, breed, or imperfection - will have a forever home where they are loved and safe. We are committed to helping alleviate unnecessary euthanasia of healthy or treatable companion animals due to overcrowding in shelters and reducing overpopulation through spay/neuter education and assistance. With community initiatives like our pet pantry, Pickles' Pet Project, we're working to help families stay together and reduce the number of animals entering shelters in the first place.
The Kitty Squad is committed to achieving our goals by developing partnerships with like-minded businesses and organizations and by providing an extensive range of opportunities for volunteer involvement. Every one of us has come to this work from a place of compassion, and we're grateful to be combining our skills to build something together.
