The CNY Cat Coalition was founded in 2002 and is one of Central New York’s largest cat rescue/adoption and spay/neuter promoters.
Our mission is to change the world for homeless and at-risk cats—four paws at a time. We are a 100% volunteer organization comprising dozens of foster homes and hundreds of active volunteers who help manage all of our life-saving programs. In 2023, we found new adoptive homes for more than 980 homeless cats and facilitated spay/neuter surgeries for more than 2,780 cats—preventing thousands of unwanted kittens!
CNYCC is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization and is a New York State Registered Shelter/Rescue—Registration No. RR099. Our tax ID number is 06-1688749.
Our primary activities are:
- Providing low-cost spay/neuter services for low-income households
- Rescuing and fostering cats in volunteer foster homes
- Adopting homeless animals into new forever families
- Conducting trap-neuter-release (TNR) programs to control the feral cat population
- Promoting responsible pet ownership and humane treatment of cats
