Welcome
Meow and welcome to Sonoma Cat Rescue! Our mission is focused on saving and improving the lives of feral, or what we also refer to as community cats in Sonoma, through rescue, spay/neuter, adoption and other community programs.
Our Goal: To reduce cat population (or reduce the number of unwanted, homeless cats) by spay/neuter, to increase the number of adoptions through socialization and improve the overall welfare of the community cats through Trap Neuter Spay (TNR) programs, to create a volunteer network and a partnership with other local organizations.
Although Cat Rescue is our primary mission, we help people find local resources for animal rescue service organizations. Often, dogs and other wildlife are in situations that require immediate aid and Sonoma Cat Rescue will be there to help.

Trap, Neuter & Return
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a compassionate and scientifically backed method for managing feral cat populations. It involves humanely trapping outdoor cats, having them spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and then returning them to their original location. This process halts the breeding cycle, stabilizes colonies, and improves the cats’ health and behavior.
Health
Regular monitoring allows our caregivers to spot signs of illness or injury, and many participate in Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs to prevent overpopulation and reduce disease spread. Vaccinations and parasite control are also key components of care, ensuring feral cats live healthier, safer lives within their communities
Food for cats
Caring for the health of feral cats involves a compassionate, long-term commitment to improving their well-being while respecting their independence. Our volunteers and caretakers provide clean food and fresh water daily, especially during extreme weather. Shelter is essential—simple insulated boxes or safe hiding spots help protect them from the elements.

Kimberly has rescued hundreds of community and domesticated cats, giving these animals a chance to live out their lives in a humane way. Her work has included fostering and caring for neonate kittens that have all been successfully adopted. Many of the community cats have been returned to live out their lives in the original locations or relocated to a safe environment where there are caretakers to keep a watchful eye over them. Her long-term goal is to create a sanctuary in Sonoma County where cats who have no place to call home can live out a safe and happy life.— Kimberly Cameron
