Cats Cradle Shelter Inc.

Our Mission

At Cats Cradle Shelter, our mission is to create a more humane and compassionate world, one cat at a time. We are dedicated to rescuing, protecting, and placing cats into loving, lifelong homes.

Our History and Community

Since opening our facility in late 2011, we have been committed to providing a safe haven for cats in need. We are a non-profit organization that relies entirely on private donations and the generosity of our community to continue our vital rescue work.

Our Care Model

We operate a unique, no-kill facility where cats live in comfortable colonies of 6-10, allowing them to socialize in units based on compatibility. For our youngest kittens, we utilize a dedicated network of foster homes where they receive 24-hour care, love, and the socialization they need to thrive before moving to their permanent families.

Your Partner in Adoption

We believe in finding the perfect match to ensure a happy, successful adoption for both you and your new companion. Our team of counselors takes the time to interview potential adopters, guiding you toward a cat whose personality and temperament align with your lifestyle. By thinking through these choices together, we help prevent stress and ensure every cat finds a place where they are truly cherished.

Meet Your New Friend

We invite you to experience the Cats Cradle difference and find a companion who clicks with you. Please join us during our open house hours on Tuesdays from 3pm–6pm or Saturdays from 12pm–4pm at our shelter in Fargo, North Dakota. You can also view our currently available cats online or reach out to us at 701-356-7877 to learn more about our adoption process and how you can help us continue our mission.
