Cat Crusaders appears to be one of the most dedicated and ethical organizations in the Tampa Bay area. Their rescued kitties are ALWAYS healthy, social and very well cared for by foster families that genuinely love cats! Calls and e-mails are responded to quickly, another unique quality in this all-volunteer organization. On behalf of all the kitties who need a home and all of the homes that need a (another) kitty, THANK YOU Cat crusaders.

The Little Cats' Rescue is so grateful that Cat Crusaders is doing this much needed work. TLC Rescue can no longer do hands on TNVR as we had in the past (we managed 5 colonies and did TNVR on hundreds of cats - it is the ONLY way to stop this overpopulation and needless killing) )...because our hands are full d caring for over 50 rescued cats as they await their forever homes. I completely agree with the vision and mission of Cat Crusaders .
I love volunteering for Cat Crusaders. They have saved so many cats and kittens from Animal Services and we help the public with cats that they have found on the streets. We help teens get their community service hours. Cat Crusaders is a huge supporter of TNVR and have used countless funds and many man hours to support this cause.
Cat Crusaders has helped countless cats in our greater Tampa, FL community; takes a leadership role in the community to make it a better place for all animals; and advocates trap-neuter-vaccinate-release of feral cats to reduce not only the cat overpopulation, but to reduce the euthanasia rate, too. The volunteers of the organization give selflessly in their time and their resources to find homes for homeless, abused and neglected cats; raise money to pay vet bills; and to be a voice for the voiceless in our community.
At Cat Crusaders we seek not only to help unwanted cats find homes , we endeavor to build a Community. We hope not only to save lives , but educate everyone on the plight of unwanted animals and how how can be art of the solution.
