Rescuing Cats Today. Building Their Sanctuary Tomorrow.
It started at home. Now it’s a mission: building a sanctuary that gives community cats shelter, safety, and lasting care.

Young Paws Cat Rescue & Sanctuary is a grassroots nonprofit in Kerman, California, dedicated to saving abandoned and at-risk cats. Born out of compassion and a deep love for animals, we provide immediate care and safe housing for cats in need — and we’re building toward a permanent sanctuary where every cat has a chance to heal, thrive, and live safely.
Our vision is a future where every cat in our community is safe, cared for, and loved. We are building a dedicated sanctuary — a permanent haven where abandoned cats can heal, thrive, and, when possible, find forever homes.
No cat forgotten. No life left behind.
