Featured Cats

• Boo
  Hi. My name is Boo. I am a gorgeous long hair, tortoiseshell with big green eyes. I was born around March 2007, was rescued in 2008 and here's my story... I was living outside in a wood pile and wasn't spayed. I got pregnant and had my kittens in the wood pile too. A super nice lady rescued my kittens when they were young enough to be socialized and caught me too! She had me spayed but needed to socialize my babies so she kept me in a condo to make sure I was healed and let me back outside. I was still coming back for breakfast and dinner! Just after Thanksgiving 2008, I was rescued and brought inside. I was in a condo inside for a couple months getting used to the lady and my surroundings. She thought I was ready to come out of the condo and I was free in my safe room! I was shy and didn't want to be petted so I kept to myself. She kept coming in, talking to me and feeding me so I got better. I am still shy but definitely coming along and I'm certainly taken care of with all the comforts of a luxury cat spa. I talk to my foster mom, knead and rub all over everything! I think I used to be a pet because I use my scratching post, play with toys and purr. When my mom sleeps with me I sleep with her now too! I love to be petted and will sometimes fall asleep with my head in her hand. I am not a lap cat, but looooooove attention. I am really grateful to have been rescued! Would you consider sponsoring me? I will need food, litter, toys and medical throughout my life. Can you help?

  Call A.C.A.T. 505-323-2228 and ask about sponsoring Boo!

• Raffle Time!
  Thanks to our successes with the previous raffles, we're doing it again! We already have a great list of prizes this year, but we are still looking for raffle prize donations, so if you know anyone who owns a restaurant, salon, entertainment venue or anything that you like to do, please ask them if they'd like to donate. With A.C.A.T. being a registered non-profit, their donation is a tax write-off! Since we are no longer at PetSmart, we have lost a large venue for selling raffle tickets, soooooo we are asking for help selling tickets too!

  Just download your tickets here and sell them to everyone you know! And, of course, buy your own as usual! The drawing will be held Sun. Aug. 22nd! Call 505-323-2228 or email mail@albcat.com with questions!

• LST (Low Cost Spay/Neuter) Program
  We are continuing to educate the public on the necessity of spay/neuter and help provide these low cost services to the public. Unlike the City of Albuquerque and Animal Humane, there are no income requirements! This program is good for everyone and their kitties. Male, female, all ages, colors and sizes... we don't discriminate! If you or anyone you know need these services, please call 505-323-2228 or email mail@albcat.com.
• Save Animals By Purchasing Cruelty Free Products
  Every year, hundreds of thousands of animals are poisoned, blinded, and killed every year in outdated and ineffective product testing. These test aren't required by law, and they often produce inaccurate and misleading results. Compassionate companies are now focusing their research where the best hope of treatment lies: with humans. Click here for the complete article!
• Coins for Cats
  ACAT is continuing its Coins for Cats campaign to raise money for the cats and kittens. Our goal: one million coins in 2010. Download your jar label here or stop by our adoption clinics and get one! Just by saving a few coins a day, you can help us reach our goal!
• Sponsor-A-Cat
  Not everyone can work an adoption clinic, gift wrap, work a yard sale or a gift table at the cat show! While these are very important to our organization, there is another way you can help without doing any of these things! Our sanctuary cats are still depending on us! This program has 26 unadoptable cats varying in ages and the average age of these kitties is about 6 years old. We have committed to care for these cats for life so they still need you! You can sponsor a cat by pledging a certain amount each month to care for a kitty. Even a one time donation helps!

  Click here to see the list of cats available for sponsoring. Just think, what a difference you can make in the life of a kitty right here where you live!

• Spay and Neuter Ribbon Magnets
  Spaying and neutering is the number one thing we can do to reduce the number of unwanted pets. Remind the world how important this is with one of these ribbons magnet. Put one on your car and then give one to each of your friends. These ribbons are available at our adoption clinics at PetSmart.
• Albuquerque Cat Only Clinics
  ACAT is pleased to use The Uptown Cat Hospital, The Albuquerque Cat Clinic, and Dr. Jeff Nichol for all their veterinary needs.
