Pink Paws for the Cause is a 100% volunteer, foster-based cat rescue helping feral and abandoned kittens through fostering, adoption, TNR, and community support across the San Francisco Bay Area. We’re a registered 501(c)(3) — and since 2022, we’ve placed nearly 650 cats and kittens into loving homes.
At Pink Paws for the Cause, our work spans across the entire Bay Area. Our dedicated volunteers show up every day to care for cats in need through four key programs:
Adoptions We carefully match cats and kittens with loving Bay Area families, and our fosters help decide who adopts their cat. See Adoptable Cats →
TNR — Trap, Neuter, Return Every month, our volunteer trappers sterilize 71 and vaccinate 44 feral cats across San Francisco Bay Area, preventing thousands of unwanted kittens.
Colony Management We feed over 355 cats every month and cover food, vet care, and supplies for colonies with no other support. Support Your Neighborhood Colony →
Foster ProgramFoster families give kittens and cats a safe home while we cover all supplies, vet care, and 24/7 support at no cost to them. Become a Foster →
