Island Cat Resources and Adoption, a non-profit humane organization established in 1994, is dedicated to eliminating cat overpopulation, mistreatment, and abandonment. We spay-neuter, vaccinate, and provide medical treatment to all of our rescued cats. We place tame or socialized cats in quality permanent homes. We return feral or unsocialized cats back to their colonies when it is a safe, managed environment. We educate the public about the need for spaying and neutering, thereby reducing the number of unwanted kittens.
