Lydia's Catfe

Volunteer or Foster

Come volunteer to take care of the cats, or if you don’t want to take full ownership yet, you can foster a cat for a month or so. We have food and supplies to get you started if you adopt one, and we can lend you supplies if you’re fostering. You can also just come in and have a coffee with the cats, if you’d rather. They might convince you to take them home though.

About Us

Lydia’s Catfe was founded in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in March of 2024. We hope to help all the cats we can find a forever home. I’ve loved cats for as long as I can remember, but my brother’s allergic so we could never get one. I hope you love cats as much as I do! We are based in New Mexico, at 7421 Sandstone Trail NW, Albuquerque, NM 87120
