Contribute (YOU Can Make a Difference)
We are desperately in need of donations if The Cat House is to survive.
It costs us $1 per day to feed and provide for a cat, and with over 700 residents, we need all the help we can get!
Please give whatever you can, and rest asssured that your donation is being used to help the animals (we're a thrifty lot!). All donations are tax-deductible under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (EIN 27-0015288), and receipts are available upon request.
Donate Cash
Donations of cash are what we need most. You can donate online via PayPal. You do not need a PayPal account to use a credit card to make a one-time donation via PayPal.
If you would like to make a donation in memory or in honor of a person or a pet, for which we will send a special card to a designated recipient, please use our tribute donation form instead of the general donation form below. Similarly, if you would like to set up regular sponsorship donations or surrender payments please use the corresponding link tp ensure you receive the proper credit.
Please make one-time or regular cash donations here
You can also mail your donations to us at:
The Cat House on the Kings
7120 S. Kings River Rd.
Parlier, CA 93648-9720
If you wish to make a donation on a regular basis and do not wish to use PayPal, your bank can set up automatic payments for you.
If your employer has a matching gift program, you can double the value of your donation! Many large companies match employee charitable contributions and all you have to do to double the value of your donation to us is to fill out their form and send it in.
Donate Stock
There are several tax advantages to making a charitable gift of appreciated securities. You may hold appreciated stock and don't intend to sell it primarily because of the substantial capital gains tax due when an individual sells the stock.
As an example, if you bought stock for $1,000 several years ago and it is now worth $20,000. If you sold the $20,000 stock, you would pay capital gains tax on the $19,000 gain in value. However if you donate the stock you avoid paying capital gains tax and the full fair market value of stock qualifies for a charitable income tax deduction as permitted by law.
When the charity sells the stock, there is no capital gains tax due and the charity receives the full $20,000.
Make a Memorial or Tribute Donation
You may make a tribute donation in honor of, or in memory of, a person or pet. We will send an acknowledgement card to the person you choose and will display the tribute on our Memorial or Tribute page.
Sponsor a Cat or Dog
We know that some of our cats, for whatever reasons — old age, trauma, or medical problems — will never be adopted and will spend their lives here. We cherish these kitties and always want to be able to provide the best for them. We promised them that they would never again have to worry about having enough food to eat, a warm bed in which to snuggle, or a caring human to give them lots of love and to take care of their health.
We also realize that some of you may not be able to adopt one of our cats but would like to be , able to help them out. That's why we have the SPONSOR-A-CAT program. You can become a sponsor for just $15 a month. Your donation helps pay for the basic needs of each cat during his/her stay with us. You can see your sponsored cat's story and latest picture via the Sponsor Check-in form on the right side of this page. You are also welcome (and encouraged!) to visit us and "your" cat as often as you can. The cats do remember frequent visitors, and enjoy the individual love and attention their sponsors provide.
To sponsor a cat or dog, please choose one of them from the Sponsors Needed section on the right, click on the Sponsor link and then fill out the simple online form or email us if you want to sponsor a cat or dog who is not currently listed.

Sponsors Needed
We make a reasonable and good faith effort to keep track of all of the cats in our 12 acre sanctuary, but for practical and logistical reasons our ability to locate and keep updated records on every animal is not always possible. Please note that some cats may be sponsored by more than one person, but rest assured that all sponsor funds are used for the ongoing care of our cats. We reserve the right, when necessary, to substitute cats.
HarleQuinn
Our little Feral friend happened to be at the right place at the right time. She was quickly scooped up, spayed, vaccinated, and now she will get to live the rest of her life with some awesome Savannah cats. She's not to particular about humans, but she doesn't mind a cat friend. Her chances of being adopted are very slim and a sponsor would be appreciated.
Ziggy
Sponsor Me! I'm Ziggy.
Lilly
Cat lives in a kennel which is closing Assessed by cat behaviorist: shy at first but then she will let you come close to her. She had a few failed adoptions and is now at kennel. Chances of being adopted are pretty slim and a sponsor would be appreciated!
Woody
Woody and his brother, Buzz, were rescued from deplorable conditions in a house in San Bernardino where 45+ cats and kittens were living in a tiny house, many of them confined to only 2 rooms. The boys were named only "The Monsters" and primarily lived on the couch. A foster took them at 6 months of age to be neutered and put up for adoption. Unfortunately, the brothers are easily frightened and do not do well in new situations. They still startle easily and will fight to be freed when scared. Woody will comfortably live out his life at our Sanctuary and he would love a sponsor!
Sqeekie (Fudgey)
Fudgey has been at the Cat House since he was a few years old. He is a very sweet boy. He can usually be spotted in the Main House or outside on the back porch. He is a very mellow kitty that loves to cuddle up with you if you sit on the sofa near him. He may give little love bites if he is petted longer than he prefers. They aren't very hard, it's just him letting you know that he just wants to sit and enjoy your company. Look for him at our facility in Parlier. He is currently in need of a sponsor as he awaits his furever home.

Each year we hear the same sad stories: "We didn't think she was outside that long", "They said she was too young", and "I thought I could find homes for all of them." Because of these excuses, we have plenty of kittens in need of foster homes.
We are currently updating our list of cats (and dogs) who need a foster home. Please check back soon. You can can fill out our foster application in advance and we will be in touch as soon as we have a cat in need of a foster home.Volunteer Your Time and Skills
Come to The Cat House and help us care for the cats! The Cat House couldn't operate without our wonderful volunteers, and we always need more! We offer a variety of volunteer opportunities and try to match each person's skills with the activities they most enjoy. Volunteers of any age are welcome, but volunteers under 15 years of age must be accompanied by an adult. Please fill out out online volunteer form if you are interested in helping with any of the following:
- Shelter Workers and Cat Cuddlers assist the staff in caring for our cats. They groom, cuddle and play with the cats and kittens, scoop poop, clean, sweep, and mop, in general ensure that our shelter is clean and the animals get all of the affection and socialization they need.
- Adoption Volunteers help us place more cats and kittens into permanent homes by coordinating off-site adoptions in Fresno. Duties include screening potential adopters, unloading cats and kittens from carriers into cages, keeping cages neat and clean, and loading everything up at the end of the day.
- We desperately need Foster Parents! Being a foster mom or dad to a litter of kittens, or a mama cat with kittens is a wonderful experience, and critical to the little ones' lives. If you're interested, please fill out our online foster application to tell us about yourself and your home.
- Fundraisers are needed year round. We welcome ideas and suggestions to build our financial resources so that we can continue to improve and operate the shelter. We also need volunteers to assist at fundraising events, such as yard sales, open houses and Super Adoption, throughout the year. Fundraising is another opportunity for those with limited time to help.
