Our main objective is to help kitties. Here’s how we do it.

 

  • Find forever homes for adoptable kittens and cats in our community

  • Find sponsors and host local adoption events

  • Establish a local fostering network to care for and socialize community kittens

  • Partner with out-of-area no-kill shelters and establish a volunteer network to transport to such shelters

  • Support island cat colony care takers by providing food, shelter, education and necessary veterinary care; including spay and neuter

  • Maintain a facility to house adoptable kittens when veterinary care is necessary while waiting for an opening in foster care or space in a partnering no-kill shelter

  • Work with local Animal Control to save cats that are in danger of being euthanized

  • Establish a sanctuary for unadoptable community cats

Volunteers Needed!

Let us know how you can help. Whether you’re available to adopt, foster, donate, or volunteer your time, we thank you for helping the Island Kitties.

 
 

Foster

 

Foster or adopt and save a life! Fostering is an excellent opportunity to temporarily house an animal that would otherwise be taking up space and resources in a shelter. What could be more fun?

 

Transport

 

We need help transporting our cats from Chincoteague to no kill shelters in Northern Virginia and New England. This could be a perfect opportunity if you’re here on vacation and would like to help.

Island Kitties was founded in 2022 by Gladys McCready Baczek and Doctor Holly Kossuth (DVM)

  • Gladys is a native of Chincoteague and local business owner. Felt not enough was being done for adoptable kittens, homeless cats, and the people that care for them.

 
 

  • Doctor Holly relocated to the island from West Virginia. She is now opening the first "Community Cats Care Clinic" specializing in low cost spay and neuter in our area.
