From one missing cat to saving hundreds.

When Minx was stolen and dumped far from home we created a Facebook page to help find him. Thanks to the incredible support of our community we brought him home safely. What started as a search for one beloved cat has since grown into a small, fully registered, volunteer-run rescue charity.

Today, Kapiti Cats - Found Minx helps vulnerable wild, stray and abandoned cats and kittens across the Kapiti Coast, while also protecting our local bird life through responsible cat management.

Over the past 5 years we have taken in hundreds of cats and kittens who need a second chance, from tiny orphaned kittens requiring round-the-clock care to adult cats who simply need time, patience and a safe place to land.

When a cat comes into our care we ensure they receive everything they need for a fresh start. This includes health checks, flea and worm treatment, microchipping, vaccinations, desexing and time in a loving foster home before finding their forever families.

Behind every successful adoption is a huge amount of unseen work: mounting vet bills, food, medication, litter, transport and the everyday costs of running a rescue.

Kapiti Cats receives no government funding and is 100% funded by donations from our community.

Your support helps us say "yes" to the next cat or kitten who needs us!
