SOS Cats RVA

SOS Cats RVA SOS is an all-volunteer nonprofit dedicated to TNR and assisting community cats in and around RVA SOS Cats RVA is a 501(c)(3) non profit.

SOS Cats RVA is an all-volunteer trap, neuter, and return organization that has been serving the Richmond area since 2003. We formally incorporated and received our nonprofit status in 2022. Our mission is to protect and advocate for community cats through spay/neuter, rescue, adoption, and educational programs. We seek to build a more humane community that embraces compassionate approaches to red

ucing feline overpopulation and homelessness. In 2022 we provided TNR services for 185 cats and kittens, fostered and found loving homes for 42 cats and kittens, distributed 5000 lbs of cat food to colony caregivers, built and donated 111 feral cats shelters, and funded over $8000 in medical care for sick or injured community cats. We provide community cat trapping assistance throughout the Richmond area and the surrounding counties. We arrange for spay/neuter appointments and provide humane medical aid to injured community cats. Foster, socialization and adoption assistance for adoptable cats and kittens is also available. We also conduct food drives to assist community cat colony caregivers, build and distribute dozens of insulated cat shelters each winter and teach basic TNR trapping classes in conjunction with the Richmond SPCA. We do not have a shelter facility and all of our foster work and medical rehabilitation is provided in private homes by volunteers. Our work is funded entirely by donations from the general public.

Please join us in wishing a very Happy Birthday to Chris Smith, a super cat foster dad who has, over and over again, gone above and beyond to help give cats and kittens the second chance they deserve. Chris never says no, even when it is at significant personal inconvenience. He is a true superhero in every sense of the word, and we love him so much. He deserves so much respect for his quiet, dedication, and kitten-charmer powers.

✨ Meet the Girls Squad: Duchess, Toulouse & Berlioz ✨

This beautiful trio will be ready for their forever homes soon, and we’re accepting applications now!

👑 Duchess is a stunning calico mama, estimated to be about one year old. She has tested negative for FIV and FeLV and will be spayed on Monday. Duchess has been an incredible mom and is as sweet as she is beautiful. She loves pets, cuddles, and gets along well with other cats. This petite lady has so much love to give and would thrive in a quieter home where she can spend her days snuggling with you and soaking up sunny spots.

🧡 🤍Toulouse (orange and white) and 🩶🤎Berlioz (tabico) are two long-haired little goddesses who are impossible not to fall in love with. (Don’t worry, we’re working on cleaning up their eyes!) - but even through the squints, their beauty shines through! These sisters are practically inseparable—we’d love to see them adopted together. In fact, it’s nearly impossible to get a photo of just one because they’re always curled up together, playing together, or piled on top of each other for naps. 😂

The girls are currently about 5–6 weeks old and when old enough they will be spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested prior to adoption. Since we’d love to keep this bonded pair together, we’re sharing them early to help them get the attention they deserve.

If you’re interested in adopting a cat or kitten, please complete an application through our website or click the link in our bio. Feel free to send us a DM with any questions!

When a new location and trapping just goes right 🤩. We had 3 adults on our radar for TNR, one with 3 kittens about 6-7 weeks old, and one 1 friendly mom with 3 kittens who are 2 weeks old. We made a plan to TNR the 3 adults, take in the 3 kittens, and the homeowner agreed to foster the friendly mom and her babies until they were older.

We dropped off traps on Friday to start trap training. The homeowner did a fantastic job (as you can see in the first pic) and within a day everyone was going into the traps to eat.

On Monday we began - trap training was a success we had all 3 adults trapped in less than an hour! Next we planned to trap the older kittens. With some convincing, we had 2 kittens trapped in another hour. Then we waited for the third and he made us work for it! 9 hours later, our little guy finally ventured from the shed to see what his siblings were doing and we got him! We’ll introduce this trio very soon 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈

It doesn’t always go this smoothly, but what a successful plan for our team. Shout out to the homeowner for following the plan, fostering, and for providing ongoing care to these sweet kitties. Friendly mom may become an indoor kitty and we’ll help coordinate the spay and neuter of her and her babies when it’s time 🥰.

A few of the cats our team helped TNVR this week. Thanks to Smokys Clinic for taking such good care of our community cats and making them feel like kings and queens for a day 🥰. Smoky's Spay & Neuter Clinic

Every cat trapped, vetted, spayed
/neutered, vaccinated, and safely returned is a step towards reducing suffering and preventing future litters in our community. Thank you to everyone who supports our mission and makes this work possible - from our trappers and fosters, to donators and volunteers ❤️. The need never stops, especially this time of year, but neither do we.
