Our Mission
The Cat Ambassador’s mission is to improve the lives of cats and their people—one at a time. We provide financial assistance, advocacy, and education to protect cats from being neglected, abandoned, surrendered, or euthanized if people don’t have the resources to provide adequate care for their animals.
Detailed Description
Founded in 2013, The Cat Ambassador, Inc., provides assistance to cats . . .and their people.
One of our main objectives is to reduce the number of cats entering an already overburdened shelter system. The Cat Ambassador strongly advocates spay/neuter (may include Trap-Neuter-Return) to prevent pet overpopulation, as well as microchipping to increase the chances that lost cats will be reunited with their owners–instead of entering the shelter system as strays.
The overall goal is to keep cats healthy, happy, and free from harm through assistance, advocacy, and education.
