About The Cats at Longstreet

The Cats at Longstreet, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is a cat rescue that helps cats and kittens from all walks of life, but specializes in helping those cats for whom tragedy has struck in the harshest of ways. We take in those who are so sick or who have been severely injured and are not expected to survive. The Cats at Longstreet is often their last hope, their last chance, the last effort to save their lives.

We also assist with trap-neuter-return (TNR), because we understand that not every cat desires to be a lap cat, and may well prefer to live in a barn. We believe those cats also deserve a chance to live fully, and will do anything we can to help them.

After rehabilitation and socialization, The Cats at Longstreet is dedicated to placing the right cat in the right home at the right time. We make sure to get to know our cats, their behaviors, their quirks, and their likes, prior to sending them to new homes. It is important to us that we find the absolute best match for the cat and for the family or individual looking to adopt. We are patient and understanding, knowing that a good portion of our cats have special needs, and the right home is out there for each and every one.

We do what we do because their lives matter. 

We needed a name to officially organize the rescue and at the time, all the foster cats lived with Dr. Werden on Longstreet in Round Hill, Virginia. The name came from a truth, and while none of our cats live on Longstreet any longer, the name remains.
