At VOKRA, we rescue, heal, then place cats - first in our network of foster homes, then in carefully matched, loving, forever homes. We’re a passionate, volunteer-driven charity with extensive cat care experience



This year marks a huge milestone for VOKRA – 25 years of saving lives, reuniting families, and giving thousands of vulnerable cats and kittens a second chance.

Get Involved

Volunteers and fosters are at the heart of everything we do. Without them, we couldn’t rescue and find loving homes for the more than 1,400 kittens and cats VOKRA takes in each year. There are many ways to become involved in our organization.

Ways to Give

As a volunteer-driven non-profit, your help is vital to ending cat overpopulation and homelessness. All donations go directly to funding the supplies, equipment, veterinary and operational costs required to ensure the cats in our care are warm, safe and healthy.

Sponsor a Cat

As a sponsor, you’ll help provide care for one of our long-term residents.

Legacy Giving

Consider leaving a gift to current and future cats in VOKRA’s care.

Why pairs are purrfect!

At VOKRA, we're all about the purr-fect match between cats and adopters. Here's why pairs often work best:

  1. Social Skills: Kittens learn vital behaviors from their siblings.

  2. Bonding: Many kittens share a deep bond with their littermates.

  3. Learning Together: From jumping to balancing, kittens teach each other.

  4. Security: Especially for rescued kittens, a sibling offers comfort.

But every kitty's unique! While we love pairs, we always aim for the best fit. Sometimes, a solo kitten might join a home with another cat, or an independent adult cat might prefer flying solo.
