First: thank you for wanting an indie cat — you're our favourite kind of person. Second, before you book a rickshaw: please don't travel to the map location. There are no cats there, and no office. Everything happens online, and this page shows you how.
Why is there nothing to visit?
Because our cats don't live in one place. Every cat is with the person who rescued it — real homes all across Pune and PCMC: Baner, Kothrud, Viman Nagar, Kharadi, Pimple Saudagar and beyond. There's no shelter building, no cages, no counter.
The map pin exists so people like you can find us — and it worked! You're here. The visit is over; this website and Instagram are the whole "premises."
So how do I meet a cat?
1. Open our Instagram — every available cat is posted there with photos, age, neighbourhood, and the rescuer's note.
2. Found one you like? The rescuer's contact is in the post. Message them directly — they know the cat best.
3. They'll ask a few friendly questions, then you meet the cat at their place and, if it's a match, take your new family member home. Free — we never charge a rupee.
The full process, in simple words, is here: How adoption works.
Can I call someone instead?
We don't have a phone number — we're a group of volunteers with day jobs, and everything here runs on messages. It's not a wall, it's just how we manage to do this at all. DM us on Instagram and a real human will reply — sometimes slowly, but always.
Found a cat that needs help?
If you've rescued a healthy cat or kittens that need a home, tell us here: Submit a cat. If an animal is injured or in danger, please go straight to a registered NGO — numbers on our Resources page — they have the medical facilities we don't.
