Cat Resources in Rock Hill & Greater Charlotte

Local Rescue & Adoption

Important note – we cannot intake cats at the cafe.

We’re not a shelter or rescue, and we’re unable to accept stray, abandoned, or surrendered cats on-site.

That said, we care deeply about cat welfare and want to point you in the right direction.

If you’ve found a stray cat, need help re-homing a cat, are looking for cat care support, or want to learn about TNR for community cats, the resources below are a solid place to start.

Community Partner

We proudly partner with Lancaster SPCA, a trusted local organization dedicated to animal welfare, rescue, and education. They are a great first call for guidance, resources, and next steps when you’re not sure where to turn.

Found a Stray Cat?

If you’ve come across a cat outdoors, it’s important to determine whether the cat is truly stray, lost, or a community cat.

Start by checking for identification, scanning for a microchip at a local vet, and contacting local shelters or rescues that can guide you on next steps. Many cats that appear abandoned are actually indoor-outdoor pets.

Need to Rehome a Cat?

Re-homing can be emotional and stressful. Local rescues and humane organizations are best equipped to help evaluate options, screen adopters, and ensure a safe transition.

Avoid giving cats away through unvetted social media posts or online marketplaces whenever possible.

Community Cats and TNR

Trap-Neuter-Return, often called TNR, is the most humane and effective way to manage community cat populations. Local organizations can help with education, trapping guidance, and access to low-cost spay and neuter services.

If you’re caring for or concerned about a colony, support exists.

Cat Care Support

From behavior questions to basic health guidance, many local and regional organizations offer education and referrals to trusted veterinarians, trainers, and foster-based rescues.

If something feels urgent or medical, always contact a licensed veterinarian first.
