WHAT WE DO

Adopt A Cat Foundation & their foster-care guardians provide shelter for homeless, abandoned, ill and injured cats/kittens every day.

• Socialize and provide enrichment while in our care.

• Help educate and inform the public about the importance of spay & neutering through shelter tours, fundraising events, mailings, flyers and our newsletter.

Funding

We are a non-profit charitable organization supported entirely by voluntary donations and sales at our Thrift Store.

We receive no tax dollars or national subsidies of any kind.

The more donations, supplies and adoptions we receive, the more cats and kittens we can save! Donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

 
 

Our Founder

  • Inga’s lifetime love of animals started with “Pampered Poodle,” her pet grooming business. For years she kept the pooches of Northern Palm Beach County looking their best.

    Knowing her reputation as a huge animal lover, people began asking her for help with stray cats. Never able to say no to animals, Inga started accepting these strays. From that, Adopt A Cat was borne. Formed in 2000, with charitable organization status approved in 2001, Adopt A Cat became the only all-cat no-kill rescue shelter in Palm Beach County. It remains so to this day.

    For many years, Inga was entrenched in spay, neuter, vaccinate and release programs. She became the go-to person for homeless and stray cats and kittens. She would help those cats that other rescue organizations would turn down: the maimed, the deformed, those with behavioral issues and those who had been abandoned by society. She recruited like-minded people to volunteer for her organization and with their help, thousands of cats found their forever homes. And, through her TNVR education and efforts, tens of thousands of unwanted kittens were prevented from facing euthanasia.

    Sadly, Inga passed in December of 2020. Her legacy lives on at the Inga Hanley Rescue Shelter at Adopt A Cat Foundation in West Palm Beach.
