We are a 501(c)(3) charity that rescues special needs, abandoned and abused cats. We receive no federal funding and depend solely on charitable donations.

Our Story:
On October 6, 1995 a Siamese-mix cat arrived at Bonanza Cat Hospital for evaluation after a volunteer feeding strays at a trailer park noticed she had a severe head tilt. This cat required immediate medical care. Once her lab results showed she was FIV positive (Feline AIDS), this poor kitty was deemed un-adoptable. She would need a lifetime of medical care to assure her immune system would remain stable. Bonanza Cat Hospital became her new home and she was named Poppy.

Poppy had attitude! She delighted in standing on our examining room tables and taking swipes at the staff whenever they passed through. She also began to develop quite a reputation as our "official greeter", casually sauntering out to the clinic waiting room with her tilted head and crooked mouth to "honor" a few lucky people by allowing them to pet her. Several of our clients began donating money towards her care and the cost of her medical needs. Sadly Poppy passed away September 20, 2001. We all loved her dearly and miss her every day. She gave so much enjoyment to so many.
In Poppy's honor, the Poppy Foundation was created.

Today, the Poppy foundation is home to many special needs and abandoned cats. The Poppy Foundation is a non-profit organization and therefore relies solely on donations to help pay for medical expenses, food, and additional pet care.

The Poppy foundation is open to the public. Volunteers and visitor are always welcome!

We are currently located at 6620 Sky Point Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada 89131.
