WHAT WE DO
We provide community cat trapping and spay/neuter assistance and advice throughout RVA and the surrounding areas.
Working together with various local rescue organizations we find foster and adoption resources for stray and abandoned cats and kittens encountered during our trapping activities.
We build and distribute insulated cat shelters each Fall and Winter and teach basic TNR trapping classes in conjunction with the Richmond SPCA.
We do not have a shelter facility and all of our foster work and medical rehabilitation is provided in private homes by volunteers. Our work is funded entirely by donations from the general public. SOS Cats RVA is a 501(c)(3) non profit.
SOS Cats RVA is very grateful to GVA Home Builders for their generous sponsorship of our work with community cats.
