LSPCA Cat Sanctuary
You can sponsor a sanctuary cat
The LSPCA Cat Sanctuary has 60+ cats that are housed and cared for by volunteers. Every kitty gets all the TLC they want and need. Some are feral, some are just unfriendly, some have health issues, and all are unadoptable for one reason or another.
Sponsoring a sanctuary cat is a wonderful way to help care for a cat while it lives out its life in the safety and security of the sanctuary.
How do we use sponsorship funds?
We're so glad you asked! Sponsorship funds are used to help with overall upkeep, supplies, utilities and veterinary needs. The cat sanctuary is heated in the winter and air conditioned in the summer. There's lots of places to climb, rest and play. All the comforts of home!
Cats lounge and play inside, outside or on the catio - wherever they feel most comfortable. It is thoroughly cleaned every day by a volunteer and all are fed canned cat food twice per day, while dry food is left out for snacking throughout the day.
The upstairs of the sanctuary cat house holds a quarantine room for new cats and kittens before they are introduced into the general population. New animals and those recovering from surgery are kept separated.
The cost to run the LSPCA Cat Sanctuary averages $50 per month, per cat - that's $3000 per month for all 60 cats! This includes food, litter, flea/tick prevention, vaccines, spay/neuter surgery, and other vet care, as required.
You may choose to sponsor a kitty for a month or make it a recurring donation to sponsor for a longer time.
We are adding all the cats to this page as we are able to get photos. The ones shown here represent about half of the residents of the cat sanctuary.

Bunny
Bunny has been here for a while. I received a call from Faulkner Animal Hospital about a lady wanting to euthanize 6 cats. Her husband had passed away and she wanted his cats gone. I took 3 and someone else took 3. Bunny is the last one left and she never leaves the cat house.
Catawba River 4 (AKA River Mama)
Catawba River 4, along with her 4 kittens, were the last cats out of 17 that we trapped at the river landing. She nursed her sweet babies and learned to trust humans. All her kittens went to rescue and she is here at the sanctuary, now I call her River Mama. She enjoys petting but doesn’t like to be held. We laugh at her because everywhere she goes she runs to get there. LOL. She is very social with the other cats.
Dammit Kim
Dammit Kim was caught in Chesterfield and thank goodness she was! When she was spayed, it was found she had a prolapsed uterus. She would have died if she was not treated. She has been happily living in the sanctuary for around 8 years. Side note - I was with long-time volunteer Kim when she was found and I said "Dammit Kim, I don't need another cat!" :)
Feral Woods Cat
This is the feral cat that has just appeared here and loves to play with Semi. Even though I still can't get too close, he/she is coming closer and closer to the house these days. One day we randomly found him upstairs in the cat house, so we were finally able to capture him and get him neutered and vaccinated!
Fireball
Fireball was the mom to babies born in newspaper bin at the trash dump. Workers there alerted us to the babies and volunteers Marcus and Karen trapped the family. Kittens all went to rescue. Mom Fireball is spicy, but she is now living her best life. She has been fully vetted and stays upstairs mostly in the cat house. She will not allow us to pet her but has decided life on the streets is not for her!
Isabel
This pretty kitty was born to a feral cat who just dropped off two of her babies knowing they would be safe here. She was trapped, spayed, vaccinated and has been happily living at the sanctuary for about 5 years. She's extremely shy but finally let me get this picture of her hanging out in the bird feeder.

Marmalade
Marmalade came to the sanctuary after a fellow rescuer's house burned down and she had no place for her cats to go. Marmalade has been here ever since. She has stomatitis and has had several dental procedures over he last few months and has received steroid and antibiotic injections for the pain.
Pearl Jam
I have no idea where he came from! Someone dumped him I guess because no one can place a black cat… 3 or 4 were dropped off at the same time. He is semi-feral but will let me pet him for a minute before he runs. Pearl Jam takes naps in the lawnmower and loves to lay on the window perch in the cat house in the sun. He is very social with the other cats and looks forward to meal times, but can be a little grumpy sometimes as his face shows. 😂
Presto Kitty
Presto Kitty finally worked her way from living in the woods to enjoying life inside the cat house. She always eats breakfast on the counter by the sink! She allows me to pet her if I speak softly to her. Recently we noticed her breath smelled and she wasn’t grooming herself so we were able to get her in a crate for a vet appt. Presto had a dental with extractions due to having stomatitis and the vet says she also has chronic rhinitis. She loves to lay inside by the heater during these cold days we’ve had.

Xena Princess Warrior
Baby to Kung Fu Panda, the meanest mama cat in Buford. Baby and mama are still here because when we took them to the vet they both got physically ill and very upset. There was just no way either one could go on transport. They are welcome to stay here.
