Dirty Little Paws is a 501(c)3 nonprofit rescue based in Southern California. Our president, Kat Parker, volunteered for multiple rescues and worked as an independent rescuer for years before founding the organization in 2015. We respond to daily emergencies, fully vet each cat, release ferals back into their colonies, rehabilitate some, make sick and injured cats well, and educate the public about responsible cat guardianship.

Dirty Little Paws is run entirely by volunteers, and we rely on donations and adoption fees to fulfill our mission. If you can’t adopt, please consider fostering. If you can’t foster, please donate or volunteer. We are honored to have been named a top-rated nonprofit by GreatNonProfits for several years running.
