Our Cause
The National Cat Protection Society (NatCat) is a non-profit, no-kill cat shelter. We welcome owner-relinquished cats and kittens to stay in our clean and comfortable living quarters until they find a proper home. Our state-of-the-art facilities with protected access to the "outdoors" in large enclosed patio areas let them enjoy themselves without compromising their safety.
NatCat has two cat shelters in Southern California: Newport Beach and Spring Valley. The trained staff and dedicated volunteers all share a tremendous love for cats and are selflessly dedicated to their well-being.
Read on to learn about the Society, see some great pictures of our cats and find out how you can become part of our organization, whether you live in Southern California or some other part of the world.

The County of San Diego Says, "Beat the Heat"
The San Diego Department of Animal Services is offering $75 throughout February and $50 after that to spay your female cat! If you are a resident of the unincorporated portions of San Diego County, Carlsbad, Del Mar, Encinitas, Solana Beach, San Diego or Santee, you can get the coupon at the Bonita, Mission Valley or Carlsbad Shelter. You may also call Pet Assistance at (619) 544-1222 or the Spay-Neuter Action Project (SNAP) at (619) 525-3047.
Many veterinarians accept the coupon, but using it at the vets listed here may cover the entire cost. You can also get reimbursed by the Department if you mail it in with proof of spaying.
In support of this effort by the County to reduce the countless cats and kittens left homeless every year, NATCAT also urges – please spay or neuter your cat!
