The National Cat Protection Society™ (NatCat) is a non-profit, no-kill 501(c)(3) animal organization with shelters dedicated to cats and kittens. Founded in 1968, our organization cares for owner-relinquished kitties until they find a forever family and in our retirement home.

Located in Newport Beach, Orange County and Spring Valley, San Diego County, CA, our two local animal shelters offer adoptable and retirement cats clean, comfortable, and safe open rooms with access to large, enclosed patio areas; as well as a kitten quarters. Our shelters' retirement centers are environmentally enriched with floor-to-ceiling scratching posts, wall-to-wall walkways, and other design features that support natural instincts and healthy behaviors.

Our trained staff and dedicated volunteers share a tremendous love for cats and selfless commitment to their well-being, providing humane treatment within our facilities and humane education throughout our communities. After purr-using our website, we hope you will consider supporting our organization through adoption, volunteering, memberships, or donations—whether you're in Southern California or another kitty-corner area of the world.
