Every cat deserves a safe place to call home.

But thousands of cats across Northeast Tennessee are still waiting for theirs. In the quiet corners of Johnson City and throughout our surrounding Appalachian communities, countless stray, abandoned, and neglected felines face the harsh realities of life on the streets. These resilient animals endure hunger, weather, and fear every single day, looking for a chance to trust human hands again.

Our mission at R U Kitten Me is to bridge the gap between hopelessness and a lifetime of love. As a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, we dedicate our days and nights to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming cats in crisis across the entire Northeast Tennessee region. Through the power of our local foster network, veterinary partnerships, and community support, we transform terrified, injured strays into healthy, purring family members ready to fill a home with joy.
