Description Established in 2005, CATsNAP seeks to reduce pet overpopulation and to improve the welfare of animals in the greater Champaign County Illinois area. Specifically, we strongly advocate that all animals are spayed and neutered, regardless of breed, sex, or age. By spaying/neutering, we are reducing the number of cats and dogs born into situations of inadequate care and abuse. We are also limiting the numbers of unwanted animals relinquished to shelters, where they are often euthanized for lack of space. CATsNAP does not endorse the buying of domestic animals from large-scale commercial breeders or from any of the outlets they supply. Appointment only with approved application. Applications at Catsnap website below.

We had the best experience with CATsNAP. The application process is very detailed and thorough. Freda was great to work with. We knew we wanted to adopt two kitties and we wanted a pair that were bonded or were going to be okay living in the same house. We told her what we were looking for and she knew right where to find them. They have been such great additions to our house. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a new cat addition to their family.

We got our beautiful baby girl, Cora, here! She is such a joy to have in our household. Everyone we dealt with during the adoption process was wonderful and had all the cats' best interests in mind. 😻🥰

CATsNAP staff were fantastic during our adoption process for our newest kittens <3 They provided us with all the medical information, gave us some samples of kitten-food to get us started, and went above and beyond giving us tips for how to care for our little ones. I am so grateful for all of their hard work, and highly encourage anyone looking to adopt a cat to consider setting up an appointment with CATsNAP!

My husband and I adopted Calvin and Hobbes in September and have loved these lil gooofs since. We had a wonderful experience with CATSNAP and recommended it to many of our friends. These cats are our babies and we love them with our whole hearts.

I was very disappointed in CatSnap. I had worked with them to try and find a home for one of my cats that did not adjust well to our children being born. I ended up finding a home for that cat myself. We had planned on adopting in Dec/Jan (which we had discussed with CatSnap prior to finding a home for our other cat). I reached out in advance to make sure my application was approved and it was approved on 11/1/23. When I reached out in December to adopt, I was told to look elsewhere as they did not know if their cats would do well with my young children. CatSnap was hosting adoption events and I had tried to sign up to bring my family and see if any of their cats meshed well with our family. I initially received an email with a link to sign up for a time and then a few minutes later was sent a second email that my application was denied (even though it was approved in November). I responded back and asked why my application was denied in January when it had been approved in November and there was no response. It was very disappointing after all I had been told by Catsnap previously. I know they do care about their cats, but I wish they had been honest with me.

Update: I no longer stand by the entirety of this review. I love the cats at catsnap and the volunteers are wonderful; however, leadership is a shame and gaslights out volunteers who share serious concerns. ______________ I’m a volunteer for Catsnap since 2021 and can speak from services on the inside. Some reviews mention poor communication and the layout of the building. I will say some people can definitely improve on their communication skills, but everyone just cares so deeply for the cats. Some may come off as confrontational or rude, but please don’t let this taint the work of all the volunteers and cats. We spend so much time nursing them back to health and teaching them the love humans can give, so someone who is going to let their cat outside or who isn’t financially, mentally, or physically able to take care of a cat might get turned away. Our building consists of several different rooms and only one has a window. However, they’re all well lit, have clean blankets, food, water, cat trees, plenty of toys, clean litter boxes at least 2x a day, strategic placing of food/water and litter boxes for more shy cats, room to roam, and everything else a cat would need or want. They’re off the streets, have controlled temperature rooms, and are cared for several times a day. Cats are put in cages only for very specific reasons and for as short a time as possible. We even move cats around so that they’re as least stressed as possible and have a team of medically trained volunteers to care specially for the sick kitties. We are all 100% volunteers with 1 paid position for help with building maintenance. You can know that cats here are cared for just as well if not much better than all the other shelters in the area and beyond. I love Catsnap. We are actively working on spreading out roles to better assist the community.
