Our History
Homeward Bound Cat Adoptions (Homeward Bound) was founded in 2007 as a foster-based rescue focused on finding homes for cats. For nearly 12 years, this small organization relied exclusively on volunteers to care for cats and complete adoptions at PetSmart and Petco stores. In 2019, Homeward Bound received funding to open its Flamingo Adoption Center and embarked on a transition from this foster-based structure. The 2,400 square foot facility allowed Homeward Bound to care for more cats and increase adoptions by providing a modern, free-roaming space to minimize stress, serve the individual needs of each cat, and set up both cats and adopters for success. To date, Homeward Bound has saved over 9,485 cats, including 968 cats in 2023.
Lifesaving Approach
Homeward Bound Cat Adoptions is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing support and resources to both cats and people in our community.
We are a no-kill adoption center dedicated to saving the lives of homeless cats in the Las Vegas Valley and providing a humane recourse for people in distress who are no longer able to care for their cats—offering an alternative to taking them to a municipal shelter or abandoning them in the streets.
Homeward Bound works to achieve its mission through adoption, foster, and help desk services, together with community outreach and collaboration with other animal welfare organizations. Our modern, free-roaming adoption center is designed to minimize the stress experienced by homeless cats, increase enrichment, and make it easier for them to find loving homes.
Homeward Bound respects and values the life of every cat, and strives to enrich the lives of our volunteers, employees, and visitors by providing a quality workplace, up-to-date humane education, and compassionate care for our cats.
