Providing rescue, care, and a safe home for the cats of Loreto, Baja California Sur — and working toward a permanent future.
Soft Paws Cat Sanctuary is a volunteer-run rescue organization in Loreto, Baja California Sur, dedicated to providing humane care for cats in need. Founded by passionate animal lovers, Soft Paws operates a cattery where rescued cats receive food, medical attention, and socialization while awaiting adoption.
The sanctuary runs on a shoestring budget, relying on donations and the tireless work of its volunteers. Every contribution — no matter the size — directly improves the lives of the cats in their care. Our 2026 fundraising goal is $45,000 — help us get there.
Soft Paws currently relies on hand-washing to clean bedding, towels, and linens for the dozens of cats in their care. A commercial-grade Speed Queen washing machine would dramatically reduce labor time and improve sanitation standards across the sanctuary.
This upgrade is essential to sustaining safe, healthy conditions as the rescue grows. Funds raised will cover the full cost of equipment, delivery, and installation.
Formalizing Soft Paws as a legally recognized non-profit in Mexico (asociación civil) will unlock local institutional support, municipal grants, and long-term sustainability. This project covers the accounting, legal, and filing fees required to complete the registration process.
A one-time investment that establishes Soft Paws as a permanent, credible institution in Loreto. Your donation directly funds the professional services needed to make this happen.
Day-to-day operations at Soft Paws depend on a reliable stockpile of essentials: quality cat food, litter, flea/tick preventatives, wound-care supplies, and enrichment toys.
This campaign builds a three-to-six-month reserve buffer so the sanctuary can focus on rescue and adoption rather than crisis fundraising. Donations at any level make a direct, immediate difference in the lives of the cats in care.
