CATastrophe Upstate Rescue

Cat rescue in Pickens, SC

Our mission is to give as many cats as possible a second chance at a good life, especially those who are most vulnerable or abused, injured, have a disability or terminal illness, or are in need of medical care.

We are a no-kill care program and work hard to rehab and rehome as many cats as possible. We are all volunteers so we rely completely on donations.

Watch for postings of our adoptables daily! We want to help them find the right homes quickly so we can help more kitties!!

We are very fortunate that many times we see cats go from scared garbage kitties to beautiful loving cats and we want them to find great homes quickly...so we don't get too attached!!!

Additional adoption info

We do allow cats to be foster-to-adopt after 8 weeks of age, if they are utd on vaccines, until they are spayed or neutered (4 months +) and receive final vaccines. After this, the adoption can be finalized.
