Making a difference one kitty at a time
Since 2009 our rescue has been working tirelessly to end animal suffering. 2017 marks eight years of hard work and dedication to saving unwanted, abused, sick, feral, FIV +,FeLV+, blind, one eyed and handicapped cats (and even a few dogs!) deemed not adoptable by most shelters standards and providing quality lifetime care for these lucky animals.
We also have worked to educate the public in an effort to end the suffering of animals in our county as well as work with the county in disaster animal rescue as well as networking to find homes for those we cannot take in.
All our hard work wouldn't have been possible without help from caring people like you who want to help end the suffering of cats in our county.
Help has come in many forms; from sponsoring, donating from our wish list or our amazon wish list (Don't forget to shop with Amazon Smile and list us as your non profit!) donations, grants, and even moral support! We thank you from the bottom of our heart!

Current Cat Ranch Fundraiser Needs
Jilly Boo
Help us get the kitties to the dentist!
Cat Ranch Rescue is in desperate need of your help! We are trying to get several urgent kitties to the dentist. This can be very expensive and runs usually from $400 to $600 depending on what all they have to do and how bad they are. These kitties have never been to the dentist. Some have painful lesions on their teeth and resorptive lesions with teeth that need to be extracted. They are losing weight because it is painful to eat. Currently the cats on our list are; Jefferey, Jilly Boo, Snookie, Emma, and Oscar. We are raising money for 1 cat at a time so we can get them in faster. If you can help with even just $5 we would be grateful. Please use the youcaring link to the right to donate and read more. Please check for updates on the youcaring fundraiser. You can also choose to donate directly to the vet at Wayside Animal Hospital (706-692-2210) and put on our account Cat Ranch Rescue! That way there are no paypal fees taken out. It's up to you! Remember, it's caring people like YOU who help give these deserving kitties the best of care. Please help feed the kitties!Help us help the kitties of Graham County
Please help us feed the kittes by sponsoring a bag of kitty food for just $26 or a case of friskies for $15. We go through 3 bags of Taste of Wild daily and 6 cases of Friskies 32 count wet.

CRR gets cats Pet Therapy Certified
Simon (tan) and Cuddles (black)
Simon and Cuddles are soon to be pet therapy certified kitties! We have done all the paperwork and as soon as we get 10 visits in and all goes well at the nursing home they will be certified by Love on a Leash. We couldn't be more thrilled! It feels so good to give back to the community. Our first visit has already been completed and Simon and Cuddles did great. One lady we met was blind and loved to hold and pet the kitties, speaking to them and petting them. We later learned that they had not been able to get her to respond to anyone. It was like she had given up and they were amazed how she interacted with the kitties. So glad that we could do that for her and we cannot wait to go back!

The Cat Ranch Critters need your help!
We work very hard to provide lifetime care to the unwanted, abused, and unadoptable cats we have rescued through the years. We provide food/shelter, medicine and vetting as well as maintain their sanctuary which includes yard maintenance, cleaning the kitty building which includes washing bedding daily and cleaning supplies as well as air conditioning in the FIV+ room and fans in all the other rooms in the summer and heat in the winter which is a mixture of electric and propane in the main building.
This can get very expensive! It costs us over $200 a day to operate and provide care for these deserving kitties. We need your support! We get no government funding and rely solely on your kind donations. How can you help? We are looking for monthly sponsor superheroes! Help us to continue to provide the quality of care these kitties need and deserve. Sponsoring a kitty starts at $20 a month. You will receive a picture and story of the kitty you wish to sponsor via email. Be sure to give us your email address when you sponsor. Won't you consider helping the kitties today? You can also make one time donations. The link below has several options for one time gift donations. Just click on the arrow on the left to see all the options.
