A True Cat Sanctuary.
Known as the best little cat house in Cullowhee, Catman2 provides a calm, enriched environment designed around the needs of cats. Our safe-for-life, cage-free sanctuary features three separate cat rooms where residents can play, lounge and heal, along with a dedicated kitten room for our youngest arrivals. Each room opens to its own screened porch, giving cats fresh air and space to relax while they wait for adoption.

Our Journey & Mission
Catman2 is led by Kaleb Lynch and powered by dedicated volunteers working to improve the lives of cats across Western North Carolina. Our cage free cat sanctuary in Cullowhee, North Carolina serves Jackson County and surrounding communities.
At Catman2, rescued cats live in a safe, enriched environment where they can heal, socialize and regain confidence while waiting for loving forever homes.
In addition to adoption, Catman2 supports the community through low cost spay and neuter programs, Trap Neuter Return (TNR) efforts and education that help reduce pet overpopulation. Community cats are humanely trapped, spayed or neutered and returned to the area where they were originally living.
Because of the generosity of our community, Catman2 continues to provide safety, care and second chances for cats who need it most.
