Contribute (YOU Can Make a Difference)

We are desperately in need of donations if The Cat House is to survive.

It costs us $1 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 using the form below; you do not need a PayPal account to use a credit card to make your donation.

You can also mail your donations to us at:

The Cat House on the Kings

Parlier, CA 93648

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.

Sponsor a Cat

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 its stay with us. You will receive a photo and the story of your sponsor cat, and are 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, please choose one of the cats in 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 who is not currently listed.

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.
  • Kitten season is here, and 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.
