Get to know them.

Friends of Cats combines adoption with lifelong sanctuary care in El Cajon. Some cats are waiting for a new home, while others remain because age, shyness or special needs make permanent sanctuary the better option. That mix makes the organization relevant even if you are interested in helping cats rather than adopting one.

Volunteers can help with socialization, events and keeping the facility comfortable. The website also introduces individual permanent residents, so you can learn whose ongoing care you would support through membership or giving. Check the current public hours before visiting, and use the separate adoption or volunteer process when you are ready to take that next step.
