Every Week I Photograph Cats At The Largest No-kill Cat Sanctuary In California (700+ Cats)

ADVERTISEMENT

The Cat House on the Kings is the largest no-kill, no-cage cat sanctuary in California, housing over 700+ cats on a 12 acre property right alongside the Kings River in Parlier, CA. Each week, as a regular volunteer, I get the chance to help photograph cats, kittens, and even some puppies to help bring awareness to the sanctuary and aid in the adoption of the animals.

The Cat House is a dream life for a cat without a home, with plenty of trees to climb, couches, tables, chairs, computers and pretty much everything else imaginable to climb and sleep on. For the human visitor, it is often a surreal experience, as cats rule at the CHOTK. They are literally everywhere you look and sit. The sanctuary is also a permanent home for some, including many senior cats and cats with FIV.

The tireless work done by the staff and volunteers is so important in our local community. Since the sanctuary was founded over 23 years ago they have saved the lives of over 23,000 cats and 7,000 dogs and still counting. Providing a safe place to live while waiting to be adopted is key as Fresno County (where the shelter is located) euthanizes a frightening number of animals – roughly 65,000 a year.

The "living in harmony" photo cracked me up, as the cats had naturally spaced themselves so as to maximize each one's "personal space." Dogs would have been in one pile; cats are nearly perfectly equidistant from one another!
