Box Cats Rescue

Street cats. Porch cats. Alley cats. Neighborhood legends. Friends. Whatever you call them, they deserve compassion and humane care. We believe meaningful change happens when communities come together. We're here for the cats who need a place to land, and the people who refuse to give up on them. Box Cats Rescue is a 100% volunteer- and foster-based cat rescue serving Durham, NC, and the surrounding Triangle community. While we're a newly formed organization (filed for 501c3 Nov 2026), we're built on decades of combined experience in cat rescue, fostering, TNVR, and good old-fashioned blood, sweat, and tears volunteering. We're a group of longtime rescuers, cat lovers, and passionate do-gooders — the in-it-to-win-it-ers, don't-wanna-say-no-ers, and care-a-little-too-much-ers! Without a central facility, we rely on a dedicated network of foster homes and community volunteers to help cats find safety, care, and forever homes. Our work goes beyond adoption. Through foster and adoption programs, Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR), community cat colony support, and spay/neuter assistance, we're working to reduce overpopulation, prevent suffering, and improve the lives of cats in our community. We have a strong focus on medically needy and special-needs cats and kittens to get them the care they need and off the streets.
