Where do the residents of Fat Kitty City come from?
Many of our residents are abandoned or abused animals that have no other option but to be killed. Fat Kitty City is their last chance. Sadly, the economic downturn has also resulted in a huge increase in people surrendering their pets because they can no longer keep them.
What kinds of donations does your organization need?
The most pressing need is always for cash donations, which help us provide for the resident cats, as well as support our low cost spay and neuter programs. In addition, in-kind donations are helpful.

Does the Fat Kitty City accept feral cats?
We presently support a large community of feral cats at Fat Kitty City. Contact us with your specific need and we can try to help. We also help place feral cats.
Do the cats really roam around free at Fat Kitty City?
Most of the residents are free to roam nearly 2 acres of fenced area, with multiple types of shelter available for them to get out of inclement weather–sheds, Igloos, bales of hay, our barn and other out-buildings, as well as individual kitty condos located literally in the trees. We do have some cages that are used for temporary housing as new cats become acclimated to their new environment or require medical treatment.
What other services does your organization provide?
Fat Kitty City provides low cost spay and neuter services, a Barn Cat program, to place feral cats that are otherwise unsuitable to be adopted, and Kitties for Companionship which places cats in retirement or assisted living homes.
