Focused on TNR (trapping, neutering, releasing), finding loving homes for the kittens and cats we rehab, and education, we are committed to working with our neighbors, community organizations, and other animal rescue groups.
30A Cats is searching for someone who would be willing to foster this mama and her babies. We are very short on fosters and we really could use some extra hands. It wouldn’t take a lot of work. This is the easiest little family we’ve ever had. Mama is so appreciative- she stares at you wondering how she hit the jackpot - which she did! So if you have a bathroom where you can let them explore we will provide you with all the supplies! Reach out and let us know!
Thank you! 🙏 ❤️🙏

This Seacrest community cat was lucky that a tourist spotted him limping along! He was brought to our attention and we were able to get him to our partners - The Cat Clinic in Destin.
The cat was checked and we found out both of his knees pop in and out of place (luxating patella) which will make him hop sometimes. It will pop back in place when he sits on his haunches. If he was a house cat, surgery would be an option but it is not necessary. He received 3 year rabies vaccine, distemper, pain meds, steroid, and Nexguard combo.
Donate to continue helping 30A working community cats.

30A Cats took a road trip to see and meet our Neighbors - Socks in Ft Walton! What a treasure they have over there!
When one cat-focused rescue coordinates with another cat-focused rescue, good things happen! 🐈🐈
Members of 30A Cats from the Santa Rosa Beach area visited the SOCKS shelter this week. 😺
We shared cat sheltering tips, and discussed the urgent need to change trap, neuter and return (TNR) laws in Okaloosa and Walton counties to combat the area's severe feline overpopulation issue ‼️
We look forward to working with 30A Cats!
This is Annika- at Pet Supplies Plus in Destin.
She’s a shy but so sweet kitty. Let’s find her a new home! Let’s show her that sitting in a store is not her final chapter and that her world has changed now that she’s here!
She doesn’t like to show off and she sometimes hides but we know someone is out there that wants this pretty girl to know that her world is so going to be so much better! Please stop by and visit her and let us know if she belongs with you!
Day 5 Part II - Ok slight set back! We moved the peace negotiator Soba to a new foster and WonTon and Sushi have decided they (for the moment) want nothing to do with this whole thing! 😆 Little do they know that this isn’t Shari’s first rodeo! But these are the things we need to expect. Some kittens turn quickly and some take a bit more time. But we are dedicated to getting them there and ready for their upcoming adoption! Thank you for following along and supporting us! Www.30acats.org
How we facilitate a lactating mom with her kittens.
A mother cat who lives outdoors knows just how to protect her kittens and doesn’t need our intervention. Give her a few basic essentials (shelter and food and water) and then let her do her job. Leave Them Be until the kittens are no longer nursing (meaning they are weaned), when they are around 8 weeks old.
What if kittens DO need help?
If you have waited for hours and a young kitten’s mother never returns, you will have to intervene and provide care in her stead. You should also step in if the kittens or their mother look sick or injured and are clearly not thriving.
If you find kittens outdoors without their mother, do not assume they don’t have one. Watch for a few hours from a hidden spot to see if mom returns. She is likely out looking for food, is in the process of moving her kittens, or is just taking a little break.
Awwh WonTon is doing so well! She’s come a long way from being trapped with her brothers in Inlet Beach! She’s gone from being a wild child to accepting love and recognizing living a domesticated life isn’t so bad! She’s likely already found her adopter but there are many others that go thru this journey with 30A Cats. Consider donating so can continue to rescue and reduce the population of community cats! Each kitty costs us a minimum of $150 and some that have complications of disease or injury can cost us more - so even a small donation goes a long way to support us. Thank you. 🙏

Behind the scenes with 30A Cats -
Still Day 4 with Won Ton but now Soba, her litter mate is helping her learn to trust!
Day 4 - Taming of WonTon! She’s making such great progress! She will be moved soon to the next phase of her transition to becoming a sweet kitten! Watch to learn how she’s doing under Shari’s guidance.
Each kitty that goes thru our rescue costs a minimum of $150. That includes vet visits, vaccines and spay/neuter. That doesn’t include the countless number of hours our fosters dedicate of their own time to help them. 30A Cats runs this non profit on a shoestring. Any donations would go far to helping these beautiful animals and continuing to reduce the population thru TNR. Www.30acats.org
Congratulations Socks 30A Cats will miss seeing you. Let us know if you need us - we are still on the job!

Thank YOU! 30A Cats Adopted out over 65 Cats this year ALREADY (Most of this done June and July 😅) We couldn’t have done this without our many supporters! From the Fosters, to the donors, to the trappers to the staff at Pet Supplies Plus and the various other volunteers we have. WE COULDNT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU! So we are celebrating this International Cat Day! Yay!
I heard how good the 30Acat life was and decided to hitch a 400 mile ride from Illinois. I am now sitting pretty with a 30acat foster that has the absolute best view of the water. I am getting the 30A cat spa treatment - bathed in the special blue soap (dawn), nail treatment, and the internal cleanse (shh... that's what we call deworming) . I will return to the farm on Saturday but will ride on the inside this time.
Another Happy Ever After! Meet Lorax! When he was found in the woods of the Sanctuary at Redfish - he was so brave and protecting his mates! He clawed and wanted to bite the finder but she gained his trust by feeding him and the rest is history! He has a new mate that he loves dearly! I’ve been told he loves to cuddle and he’s very vocal!
Enjoy your new life Lorax!

This is a YOUNG mama that was separated from her kittens over a period of a few days. The kittens had been picked up by a restaurant owner & bc of a personal relationship Shari went to rescue the kittens but had to leave mama. Shari was able to trap the mama a day later but kept them separated until now. Watch the reunion! All are now safe and since Mama is such a SWEET kitty she’ll be placed in a mom as well! BUT WE NEED NEW NAMES! Send us your names - 3 orange males, 1 calico and mama!
