Dedicated to the Cats Who Need Us Most
A foster-based rescue helping vulnerable cats and kittens find safety, healing, and permanent homes throughout Upstate South Carolina.
Who We Are
South Carolina Community Cat Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal rescue organization (EIN: 88-0788889) serving Spartanburg, Greenville, Cherokee, and Pickens counties. We are entirely foster-based, meaning we do not operate a physical shelter facility.
Instead, we rely on a network of volunteer homes to provide individualized, round-the-clock care to felines in need until they are matched with their forever families. Assistance depends on the nature of the request, program eligibility, foster availability, veterinary capacity, and available funding.
Our Mission
Every year, cats and kittens in our community face challenges that make finding help difficult. Some are born outdoors. Some are abandoned. Some arrive sick, injured, underweight, or orphaned. South Carolina Community Cat Project exists to give those cats a chance — providing safety, veterinary coordination, socialization, and adoption opportunities for cats who might otherwise be overlooked.
How Our Foster-Based Rescue Works
We believe a cage is not a home. By operating without a physical facility, every rescued cat lives in a real home environment — reducing stress and helping them heal at their own pace.
Rescue & Intake
Helping vulnerable cats and kittens enter safety from outdoor elements and overcrowded situations.
Veterinary Coordination
Coordinating vaccinations, spay/neuter, parasite treatment, and essential care through partner clinics.
Foster Rehabilitation
Providing stability, socialization, and recovery in dedicated foster homes.
Adoption Placement
Matching cats with carefully screened adopters for a lifelong, successful bond.
Community Foster Program
Partnering with community members already caring for friendly kittens to provide veterinary support.
Education & Advocacy
Promoting responsible pet ownership, TNR initiatives, and preventative care across the Upstate.
Who We Help
We help cats and kittens who need more time, resources, and support than traditional systems can provide — including those born outdoors, abandoned, sick, injured, underweight, or orphaned.
Through education, partnerships, and our Community Foster Program, we also support community members who have stepped up to help stray kittens. We believe community problems require community-driven solutions.
Our Service Area
We serve cats and kittens in Spartanburg, Greenville, Cherokee, and Pickens counties. Applicants outside these counties may not be eligible, because participants must transport animals to our designated intake and veterinary locations.
How to Get Involved
Rescue work is only possible when a community comes together. Whether you can open your home, give your time, or contribute financially, your support saves lives.
