What’s happening at Catnip Casa?

Welcome. We’re happy you stopped by to visit these special kitties. Look around, laugh at the pictures, and enjoy the stories.

Please note: As of November 26, 2026, Catnip Casa Cat Refuge will no longer be a Texas Nonprofit Corporation. We will no longer be a 501(c)(3) on or before December 31, 2026. Both foster homes are still caring for the cats listed on this website. None of the cats lost their homes because of this change, and we still guarantee our adopted cats a safe landing if they need to return. 

Our Mission

Sebastian helps explain the Catnip Casa mission to everyone.

Catnip Casa Cat Refuge spent over eleven years providing care for cats that required extensive rehab or lifelong pawspice care because of age, disease, or disabilities that did not allow them to live in a normal home because of medical needs or behavioral challenges. In the case of community cats, they cannot function in their natural environment.

We continue to support TNR (trap, neuter, return) with training, education, and equipment.

Tiger wants everyone to sponsor a senior or special needs kitty that lives at Catnip Casa Cat Refuge.

The cats we serve/served have the potential to live well with specialized care. We strive to keep their environment safe and normal while addressing challenging needs.

We educate owners, caregivers, professionals, and the public about caring for cats with challenges caused by age, disease, disabilities, or terminal illness.

If you adopted your animal from a shelter or rescue organization, most organizations take back any pet you adopted from them. In fact, it is a requirement in many adoption contracts. Use the Rehome resource above to learn the best way to find a loving new home.
