You and your siblings were born outside under a dilapidated shed. It's cold and drafty, and your mom has gone out in search of food again. She's young, but skinny and tired. You're the fourth litter she's had in 18 months, and she's barely two years old herself. There were six of you, but the smallest didn't make it, and the five that remain don't have the best chances despite your mother's best efforts. Your sister has been sneezing, and her left eye is nearly glued shut. 

What happens next? A few lucky kittens that find themselves in these circumstances are rescued- and get to know safety, warmth and love. The mother cats that are comfortable with humans get to know the same, and those they are not at least are spayed and vaccinated, and able to live out their lives without the added pressure of caring for kittens. With your help, we can make sure as many as possible have a happy ending, and continue to work to reduce the number born into situations like this in our local area. 

Cherished Cats Rescue Alliance was founded in 2017 to improve feline lives in the Susquehanna Valley. We have directly rescued more than 2,000 cats and kittens, and covered the spay/neuter and vaccination costs for more than 1,300 community cats. Through adoption and reducing reproduction, these combined efforts have saved tens of thousands of feline lives, and none of it would be possible without your support.  

We also manage the Susquehanna Valley's first cat café: The Scratching Post in Lewisburg was founded in 2017, and nearly 900 cats have met their forever family there.


Additionally, we support trap-neuter-return efforts in the local area to help reduce the population of stray and feral cats.



We are so proud of what we’ve accomplished since becoming a non-profit in 2017 and with your help, we know that 2025 will be amazing! To learn more about who we are and what we do, please visit www.cherishedcats.org. 

The work we do would not be possible without our generous donors and volunteers, and we thank you for your support during Raise the Region!
