We are a volunteer rescue organization that relies solely upon donations from the public and fundraising events. All money raised helps to offset the costs of feeding, spaying or neutering and obtaining medical attention for these abandoned cats and kittens. All donations, whether cash, kitty food or kitty litter are very much appreciated as are new volunteers. We are a registered non-profit society and all donations over $20.00 are entitled to receive a tax receipt if requested. Please see the “Make a Donation” page for further information. Check out the rest of this site to learn more about us and the kitties we have up for adoption.
Why Are We Here?
CatNap was formed in August of 1998 by a small local group of caring individuals who wanted to make a difference for the abandoned and homeless cats of Nanaimo. We cannot do it alone and we need your help. Please support CatNAP and help us make that difference. We thank you!
CatNap Mandate
Our mandate is to rescue abandoned cats and kittens, provide medical attention where necessary, have them spayed and neutered and, hopefully, find them homes. In the case of feral cats, after they are spayed/neutered they will be released back to the original location where they were trapped if they can be provided with shelter and food on a daily basis. This should reduce the number of suffering and abandoned cats in this city. We are not an animal control agency. We are willing to assist in trapping feral cats if someone needs assistance but they must be willing to help these cats after their release. CatNAP can only do so much. This is a community problem that needs the support of the community.
