Helping cats, one bobcat at a time.
We treat, house, and feed San Marcos' stray cats to keep them healthy and their numbers in check — and we team up with local shelters on adoption and fostering.
Every stray deserves a soft landing.
Founded by Riley Quinonez, we're students working to keep San Marcos' stray and shelter cats healthy, cared for, and safe from harm to themselves, wildlife, and the environment.
Stray cats are community residents, not pets, and their numbers can grow quickly and strain local birds and wildlife. We treat and feed the cats already here, work to limit population growth, and partner with shelters to help more cats get adopted.
