Rutherford County Cat Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit feline welfare organization based in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, serving Rutherford County and the surrounding area. The organization is dedicated to reducing the local stray cat population heavily through proactive Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) initiatives, while also rescuing, fostering, and rehoming at-risk cats and kittens. Beyond direct rescue efforts, they actively support the local community by providing financial assistance for spay/neuter surgeries and emergency veterinary care to pet owners living on a fixed income.

Operating entirely as a 100% volunteer-run, foster-based rescue with no physical shelter facility, the organization places its rescued cats into domestic foster homes to allow for safe decompression and behavioral evaluation. Rutherford County Cat Rescue provides necessary intake veterinary care and is funded entirely through direct public donations and standard adoption fees, placing fully vetted felines into permanent homes following a comprehensive adoption application process.

Animals over profits: Unlike typical corporate chains, we are completely against selling animals — always, now, and forever.

You choose where 25% of the earnings goes: We believe in full transparency — we calculate this 25% before paying for any executive salaries or business overhead. By skipping the fancy corporate costs, we ensure the money actually lands where it belongs: with the animals.
