CAT CARE DURANGO
SANCTUARY • RESCUE • RESOURCE
We believe in the dignity and worth of every cat,
regardless of age, ability, or condition
Cat Care Durango is a free-roaming cat rescue and sanctuary dedicated to providing love and care for cats of all ages and medical needs. We strive to improve the quality of life for cats in need and connect them with loving homes where they can truly thrive.
Our location in rural Southwest Colorado is experiencing an increasing number of abused, neglected and abandoned cats in need of medical care and safe, stable and loving homes. However, our area lacks the resources to keep up in a region with few resources, no spay/neuter requirements, rising veterinary costs and low adoption rates. At Cat Care Durango, we’re seeing the heartbreaking impact every day.
Since our founding in 2023, Cat Care Durango has rescued over 230 cats and kittens in need of help, finding loving homes for more than 180 of them. The organization's mission is to increase these numbers year over year, providing even more cats with the chance to live happy and healthy lives.
Your gift to Cat Care Durango saves lives by providing funding for highly impactful programs like TNR, proper medical care, adoption, foster, and a sanctuary home. Because of you, a cat who had no chance will get a second one.
Every donation, regardless of size, is a powerful act of love and COMPASSION.
Your kindness makes a difference.
To protect the welfare and dignity of all cats in every stage of their life through TNR (trap-neuter/spay-release) programs, proper medical care-both physically and mentally- and adoption, foster and sanctuary programs for our wild and peaceful feline friends.
Cat Care Durango is a PACFA certified, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing and rehoming cats, founded in 2023 by Padgie Kimmick. Before launching Cat Care Durango, Padgie spent over 20 years providing Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) services to the Durango area, passionately working to address cat homelessness and overpopulation in the Southwest region of Colorado.
Through her TNR efforts, Padgie recognized the critical need for a public, brick-and-mortar facility to serve as a hub for adopting cats in need of loving homes. In response and with the help from foundation grants and donations, Cat Care Durango opened a free-roaming facility with a capacity to care for up to 60 cats at any given time. This unique space allows cats to live and interact comfortably while awaiting adoption, creating a stress-free environment that promotes their well-being and helps potential adopters connect with their future feline companions.
The cats rescued by Cat Care Durango come from a wide range of backgrounds and hardships, including abandonment, neglect, and homelessness. Many rescues are achieved through collaborative efforts with other non-profit organizations and through active community outreach. These partnerships and initiatives reflect Cat Care Durango's commitment to making a lasting impact on the lives of cats and the people who care for them.
Since opening in 2023, Cat Care Durango has rescued over 230 cats and kittens, finding loving homes for more than 180 of them. The organization's mission is to increase these numbers year over year, providing even more cats with the chance to live happy and healthy lives.
