Welcome to CatNap

CatNap is a 100% volunteer-run, registered nonprofit with charity status in Nanaimo, BC, dedicated to rescuing and caring for 500-600 homeless, abandoned, and feral cats each year. With your support, we can give these cats the love, safety, and forever homes they deserve.

Volunteer

Join a compassionate community making life better for cats in need. As a volunteer, you’ll lend a hand to create lasting change, discover new skills, form friendships (human and feline alike), and experience the joy of knowing you’ve made a difference. The rewards? Warm fuzzies, lifelong connections, and plenty of purrs.

Look for Us August 29!

CatNap will be back in Maffeo Sutton Park for Art in the Park again on August 29 from 11 am to 4 pm.

Also, look for us at Art  by the Beach at Transfer Beach in Ladysmith from 11 am to 5 pm July 18.

We'll have a full selection of beautiful crafts made by CatNap volunteers -  on both dates.

And thank you to eveyone who visited us on June 7 in Maffeo Sutton Park.  Thanks to you, we raised just over $1,200 - all proceeds to support the cats!

Sending Our Thanks

We are sending out thanks to everyone who stopped by on Saturday, June 13, to scoop up a box of deliciousness!  

 

The Krispy Kreme fundraiser brought in $2697.15 to support locally rescued cats. 

 

Thanks also to Country Grocer Bowen Road and Bosley’s University Village for hosting our sales.  

 

And to the CatNap volunteers who were on hand to help.

Your Tapes Help Kitties

CatNap is part of the Country Grocer Save-A-Tape Program.  You shop at Country Grocer, save your receipts and bring the receipts to CatNap.  
We in turn get 1% back in gift cards to help buy supplies for the cats and kittens in care.


Receipts can be dropped off at the following locations (in a sealed envelope or bag labelled CatNap on the front}:
🐾Bosley’s University Village, 
🐾Bosley’s Southgate, 
🐾Bosley’s Bowen Road, 
🐾PetSmart Nanaimo
🐾For Pet’s Sake in Ladysmith
🐾Taylormade Landscape Supply,
        4134 Thicke Rd, Ladysmith

No receipt total is too small!

CatNap believes that all cats are entitled to a safe, caring, and happy home.    

Our mandate is to rescue feral and abandoned cats and kittens, have their medical needs met, including treatment of illness and injury, vaccines, parasite control, spay/neuter surgeries, and socialize them in foster homes before finding them loving homes. In the case of some feral cats who are unlikely to be successfully socialized to an indoor home, they will be released back to their original colony location after receiving required medical care and are spayed/neutered, and where they are provided shelter and daily food and water by a caregiver.

 

We rely upon donations from the public and fundraising events to sustain our rescue efforts and operations. Every gift of support, no matter the size, is greatly appreciated and goes towards helping the cats and kittens coming into our care.
