Make a Difference
Whether you have $5, five hours, or five followers — every contribution moves the needle for the cats at California's rest stops.
Every dollar goes to the cats
Roadcat Rescue is a lean operation. We have no paid staff, no office lease, and no administrative overhead eating your donation. 100% of donations go directly to vet care and trapping supplies.
A single spay/neuter surgery costs approximately $60–$120 at our vet partners. A complete TNR kit — traps, transport crates, and supplies — runs around $300 and serves a colony for years. Your $25 matters. Your $100 matters more.
- $25 — Covers vaccines for one cat
- $75 — Covers a spay/neuter surgery
- $200 — Fully TNRs two cats, start to finish
- $500 — Launches a new colony program

Spread the word
Most people don't know these colonies exist. Changing that starts with a single conversation, a shared post, or a story told to a friend. You don't need to volunteer or donate to make a difference — just make sure the people around you know this work is happening.
Follow us on Instagram and Facebook for colony updates, cat photos, and ways to stay connected with the mission. Tag @roadcatrescue in anything related to rest stop cats — we want to find every colony report, every story, every chance to help.
