Every Cat Deserves a Chance to Leave Their Mark

"What greater gift than the love of a cat?" ~Mark Twain. The Cat's Mark is named in honor of Mark Twain, who believed cats were among life's greatest companions and carried that love with him wherever he went. The Cat's Mark is a nonprofit cat rescue in Cody, Wyoming helping vulnerable cats of every age and circumstance find love, safety, and belonging.

Welcome!

We’re redefining rescue through a community-based foster network, giving every cat the chance to heal, grow, and find their forever home.

Foster

Fostering Saves Lives. Literally.

Our rescue thrives through amazing foster families who open their hearts and homes to cats in need. Mark Twain never believed cats were meant to be alone. Fostering gives every cat comfort, care, and the chance to show their true personality before adoption. 

“When I play with my cat, who knows if I am not a pastime to her more than she is to me?” – Mark Twain

Donate

Donations keep our mission alive. From medical care to food, litter, and vaccines, every dollar directly supports the cats in our care. Your gift also helps us move closer to our dream: a cat café where rescue meets relaxation.

Animal companionship helps reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and increase social interaction and physical activity. Pets have a positive, long-lasting effect on symptoms of depression and feelings of loneliness or isolation.
