Cocoa Kitties is an amazing rescue organization. It’s unique because it’s 100% staffed by very dedicated, knowledgeable volunteers who give so much love and attention to all the cats before being adopted to their forever homes. This means the cats are being well socialized and are acclimated to living in a home environment. The application process is thorough, but the volunteers work as quickly and efficiently as possible to pair each individual cat with the people who can provide them with a safe, loving forever home! It’s all made possible by the wonderful community members who selflessly donate money, supplies, and resources to allow Cocoa Kitties reach more cats who desperately need help. Even if a forever home isn’t meant to be (Sanctuary cats), every Cocoa Kitty will know they are very loved and cared for until the very end. And that’s exactly why Cocoa Kitties is simply the very best!

Cocoa Kitties is an incredible cat rescue that we could not recommend more highly! We have adopted two kitties from them and they do some amazing things for the cats in our area. So many kitties have been given the best life ever because of this incredible organization! Cocoa Kitties takes excellent care of their cats/kittens and they have an incredible team of volunteers. The application process is smooth and thorough. They help you with any questions you might have even after the adoption. There are so many wonderful kitties waiting for a home, and they are blessed to be in Cocoa Kitties care while they wait!

Cocoa Kitties is an amazing local rescue that does so much to help the community. They are fully volunteer run and are the best around. Not only do they have cats for adoption they work tirelessly to help with the feral cat population.

I have been fostering for Cocoa Kitties since the beginning and they are amazing. They go above and beyond for all animals in need. I personally have adopted a few kittens from them and they are always there’s for the cats that they have adopted out. If you need advice or help in any way they will be there. For you.

I have been a volunteer and foster from the beginning. This is an extraordinary group of people with the same vision - to adopt kitties that are socialized and healthy as can be.
All the volunteers bring their own gift to make this rescue run smoothly despite the numbers of kitties we take in.
Please spay and neuter your pets

Though I am a newer volunteer, I can already tell how wonderful of an organization Cocoakitties is and how much everyone involved truly cares for and loves cats. I've had lots of questions as a newer volunteer with getting adjusted, and now fostering kitties through the org, and everyone has been there to guide me along the way and ensure I'm provided with all of the information and resources I need for the foster kitties to be as healthy and happy as possible. The cats at Cocoakitties are well taken care of and well loved. Cocoakitties is committed to making sure each cat gets the best home possible, and I have no doubt that once the kitties I'm fostering are ready for a good home, Cocoakitties will be there to support them and make sure they get their best forever home.

I have been volunteering for Cocoa Kitties a little less than one year. We have adopted 4 kitties from them, and I ended up discovering a new hobby through my role as lead photographer! I can’t imagine myself not volunteering for CK!

I have been with this rescue since before the beginning, lol! I operate a satellite ‘cat house’ and am pleased to be able to offer the kitties a home environment while they wait for their forever families. The support and training for the foster families is exceptional! Inviting potential adopters in to meet all the kitties and help them find the perfect pet is a joy. We are making such a difference in this community helping cats find homes, conducting TNR on feral colonies, and assisting farm families with their barn cats.

About 6 months ago, I decided I was ready for another family member and chose CK to adopt from. Their adoption form was very detailed which impressed me because they clearly cared deeply about the homes their cats go to. Once I submitted my form, I was contacted very quickly and my references processed with incredible alacrity. The two or three workers who helped process my adoption were all warm, friendly and super-supportive. I was also connected to the foster who was homing the cat I had chosen so I could ask questions and learn what size cat bed to get, which litter she preferred, etc. The adoption went quickly and smoothly but CK has remained very invested in how both my furball and I are doing. I've been so inspired and impressed by the entire group that I've started volunteering with them myself! I can't recommend them enough!

I don’t have a cat, but I am always amazed by the work I see Cocoa Kitties doing in Hershey and surrounding communities. They go above and beyond in helping wherever they can.

I’d give 100 stars if I could! We adopted two from Cocoa Kitties. The adoption was simple and easy! Shortly after, our kitties developed tremors. Our other cats have been from the humane society, where they pretty much leave everything to you when you adopt (to be expected, since you’re making a commitment), but CK was different! They reached out to me, supported me, even started a fund raiser and accompanied me to the veterinary neurologist to help me make educated decisions about their care. I am so thankful for the compassion they have for their rescues and the ones who have been adopted out! I knew I wanted to help. Shortly after, I became a volunteer and soon to be foster! I have enjoyed the happiness and fulfillment both my kitties and helping the rescue has given me in such a short amount of time.

Cocoa Kitties rescue serves our local community and surrounding area. They work to rescue, rehabilitate, facilitate adoption, and spay/neuter. They also provide education within the community to develop compassion for animals. I am a volunteer and have participated in community events, social media, education, and have fostered. The commitment of this rescue and its volunteers to the animals and this community is valuable!

This organization does so much for our community. They have even gone above and beyond by educating our elementary kids about adoptions and pet care. Kendra and Cait welcomed a group of fifth graders to tour the cat house and do an interview for our K-5 kids to view. We would have an astronomical cat population without their efforts. Thank you for doing what you do!

I have been a volunteer for Cocoa Kitties from the start- helping in many different areas. I foster, work with social media, fundraising events, and community outreach. I have found that this nonprofit is composed of incredible volunteers who are dedicated to making a difference for cats in every way possible with a local focus and family-like feel. If they can't directly provide the help needed, they are connecting others to resources needed.
In addition to volunteering, one of my current cats was adopted from Cocoa Kitties in the fall of 2022. It was the BEST experience that I could ask for after unexpectedly losing my first cat. While in the process of adopting, all of my questions were answered and Cocoa Kitties made sure I was getting a cat that was the best fit for me. Their motto is "The sweetest option is adoption" and it truly is! I would recommend anyone adopt from and/or volunteer with Cocoa Kitties.

Cocoa Kitties is absolutely AMAZING! The entire rescue goes above and beyond for their fosters, volunteers and KITTIES! There is no reason in my mind this Rescue would be NATIONALLY known if they could get the help, resources and donations that they properly need! I 1000% recommend checking out Cocoa Kitties…. I mean come on it’s the sweetest option for adoption!

Everything was super easy. We met with a few volunteers and their kittens until we found the right one. We were
Going to get one but the brother was bonded with
His sister so we got two. They offer whatever you need, the foster families were very genuine in trying to help you they come with
Their first shots and already
Fixed for a super low adoption fee. The adoption application was easy and fast. I highly recommend them for your kitty needs

This rescue is local to me so I try to donate money or needed items as I can. I've interacted with the director and volunteers and they're all so kind. They truly love and believe in what they do. I've seen posts where they've gone out to help trap tamed rats that someone just let loose in the wild. I've heard the sadness in their voices on videos of dire situations. My current cat has to be the only cat but when I lose him, the first place that I'm going to is Cocoa Kitties.
