Our Mission

More Than Coffee. A Mission.

Every bag of here kitty kitty! Coffee helps us continue a mission that began more than thirty years ago.

My wife and I founded Kitties for Keeps because we believed every cat deserves a chance at a better life.

For more than three decades, we’ve quietly worked behind the scenes trapping, neutering, and returning community cats, fostering and socializing kittens, and giving them the opportunity to find loving forever homes. At any given time, we’re caring for four to six managed feral colonies, ensuring the cats are healthy, fed, and no longer contributing to the cycle of unwanted litters. We are also fostering more than we care to admit, including some “foster failures”.

Over the years, we’ve prevented literally thousands of unwanted kittens from being born into life on the streets through Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) and helped nearly one hundred rescued friendly cats and kittens become cherished family pets.

It’s not glamorous work. It often means late nights, early mornings, long drives, heavy traps, and a lot of patience spending hours and hours of waiting for the stubborn (or smart) ones to finally go in a live trap. But it’s work we believe in, because every cat matters.

Our local TNR partner organization generously helps provide food for the colonies we manage and spay/neuter services. Your purchases help cover many of the other expenses that make this work possible, including gasoline, humane trapping equipment, carriers, litter, veterinary incidentals, and the countless everyday necessities that come with caring for community cats.

When you purchase a bag of here kitty kitty! Coffee or one of our merch products, you’re doing more than enjoying a great cup of coffee. You’re helping us continue work we’ve been passionate about for over thirty years.

You’re helping us save cats, one cup at a time.
