We're a volunteer-run, 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to find loving, permanent homes for cats and kittens in the National Capital Region.

All of our cats and kittens are fully vetted, tested, vaccinated, and spayed or neutered. They come from area shelters, managed colonies, and from people who can no longer care for them.

AdvoCATs has suspended active adoptions indefinitely. Thank you for your support!

Thank you for an amazing year!

2010 was an eventful year for us. We left Madison behind and have settled into new digs and new routines in Northern Virginia. We are blessed and grateful that our long-time adult fosters successfully transitioned to C&W Rustic Hollow, where they continue to receive an astounding level of love, care, and attention. Here's the whole story (with pictures)!

As of January 31st, 2011 we have ceased active adoption activities. We successfully placed more than 2,700 cats and kittes in happy homes in the DC area and elsewhere. It is only through your continued support that we have made this transition. We are so very grateful to you. From everyone here, two-legged and four, thank you!

We hope you and your family have a wonderful, healthy, and prosperous 2011. We will continue to work with C&W Rustic Hollow to support our long time fosters and we will continue to honor our contractual obligation to support any cats who can no longer live with their families. Your tax deductible donation will go to our post-adoption efforts.

AdvoCATs, Inc., is a nonprofit group. Adoption fees and donations are used to cover our expenses including veterinary fees, medications, food, litter, cat toys, laundry and cleaning, and all the other things we need to keep our adoptees healthy and happy until they find their permanent home. To find out how you can help by volunteering, donating, or "virtual foster."
