Madison Community Cats (MadCats)

We are dedicated to improving the lives of cats in our community by providing no-cost Spay & Neuter services to cat owners and colony caretakers in rural Madison and Culpeper Counties, Virginia--along with critical medical and foster care to the cats that come into our care.

We are passionate about keeping cats and kittens in their homes, with their families, and out of the shelters!  Since MAD Cats was organized in 2018, cat/kitten intake at local shelters has steadily decreased. At the Madison County Shelter, intake has been reduced from 436 cats in 2017, to 127 cats in 2023. One of the main reasons people surrender their cats is a lack of access to low-cost Spay/Neuter services, including transportation and the increasing cost of cat food. Providing No-Cost Spay/Neuter and Vaccinations since 2018, MAD cats has sterilized more than 4,000 cats, and hundreds of kittens have been fostered and adopted. In addition, our volunteers have delivered more than 4,000# of food to colony caretakers.

MAD Cats is a highly successful rescue with a small, dedicated, and passionate group of volunteers. By "fixing" more than 4,000 cats since 2018, MAD Cats is achieving our Mission of improving the lives of cats and their owners and caretakers in our region.
