Welcome to

Astoria Cat Rescue!

Astoria Cat Rescue (ACR) is a dedicated, all-volunteer powered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization driven by a passion for helping our feline friends in need. Our mission is to feed and support the homeless stray, feral, and abandoned cat population in and around Astoria, while also rescuing and rehabilitating friendly cats and kittens and working tirelessly to match them with their perfect forever families. We believe that every cat deserves a safe and loving home, and we're committed to making that a reality. Join us in our journey to create a better world for our feline companions!

We're working people too, doing all we can with limited means to help Astoria's cats—your patience is a huge help.

Astoria's Cats Are Counting on Us!

Astoria has a very large community cat population, this we know! An average cat has 1-8 kittens per litter and 2-3 litters per year. During her reproductive life a female cat can have more than 100 kittens. Up to 4,948 kittens can be born from one unspayed female cat and her offspring in seven years.

Adding to these statistics is the number of cats that are abandoned. After living a life indoors, cats do not adjust well to life on the streets when abandoned. Countless numbers of these poor cats become feral after being dumped, they get hit by cars, die of infections or not being really prepared to fend for themselves, die of starvation and hardships.

Did you know?

Astoria Cat Rescue is a non-profit rescue that exists thanks to the volunteer work of nearly 95 people! 

We are working hard to save street cats, trap adult cats and kittens, socialize them, and prepare them for you.

In addition to daily care costs, the adoption fees help Astoria Cat Rescue cover the cats' essential vaccination and medical preparation expenses.

At the time of adoption, most cats from Astoria Cat Rescue will be up to date on their vaccinations and will have received the following:

  • Rabies & FVRCP vaccinations
  • Feline Leukemia & Feline AIDS tests
  • De-worming treatment
  • Flea & ear mite treatments
  • Spaying (for females) or neutering (for males)

Some cats may not be current on their vaccinations at adoption. This may be due to their recent rescue, their age/weight not yet meeting the requirements, or because they are receiving treatment for other medical conditions.

Thank you for your support in helping us provide comprehensive care for all the cats in our rescue.

Information Regarding Kitten Adoption and Spay/Neuter Procedures

Kittens can be adopted as early as 3 months of age; however, they will not be spayed or neutered at the time of adoption. Spay/neuter surgeries are typically performed once the kittens reach 5 pounds in weight or 5 months of age, whichever comes first. 

The adoption counselor who assisted you will work with you to schedule an appointment with our local vet once the kittens are old enough or have reached the required weight. The adopter is responsible for covering the cost of the spay/neuter surgery, though a 20% discount from ACR will be applied to the procedure fee.

Why does the adopter need to cover the spay/neuter fee in addition to the adoption fee?

Kitten adoption fees help support the care and medical expenses of adult and senior cats, who are often more difficult to adopt. These older cats, despite being less likely to find homes, still require essential medical care and surgeries to ensure their well-being.

Thank you for your understanding and support in helping us provide care for cats of all ages.
