We aren't
mean, we're
just scared

Welcome

The shelter is a scary place for any pet, especially cats. Cats exhibiting fearful or defensive behaviors in shelters are often misunderstood and mismanaged. This leads to long lengths of stay and emotional suffering. Without the right intervention and support, these cats are at high risk of euthanasia despite their potential to thrive in a home environment.

  It's time to change that!  

The Spicy Cat Project aims to help shelters, fosters, and adopters learn how to provide appropriate daily socialization to cats in their care in order to improve their lives and outcomes.

Throughout this website
, you'll find helpful videos and information on how to handle and manage cats of all temperaments to better meet their needs and help them get adopted. Because these cats are not mean, they're just scared.
