National Cat Protection Society

Mr. C. Richard Calore, a professional humane officer, founded the National Cat Protection Society (NatCat), an organization dedicated to the protection and services of cats, in 1968. He encountered a brave cat who kept him warm all night long while serving in a French foxhole during the bitter weather of World War II. He founded NatCat as a cat and kitten-specific animal center and a means of enforcing the ethical treatment of all animals after being inspired by this cat.
