Lucky Penny Kitties is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, foster-based cat rescue serving Waverly, Bremer County, and communities throughout Northeast Iowa. Founded with the belief that every animal deserves a second chance, we rescue abandoned, neglected, homeless, and at-risk cats and kittens, providing them with medical care, rehabilitation, and loving foster homes until they find their forever families.

As a no-kill rescue, we are committed to treating every animal with compassion, dignity, and respect while educating our community about responsible pet ownership, spaying and neutering, and animal welfare. Our dedicated team of volunteers, fosters, and supporters work tirelessly to give each cat the opportunity to live a healthy, happy life.

While our mission today focuses on saving cats, our vision reaches even further. We are working toward building Bremer County's first full-service humane society—a place where all animals can receive shelter, medical care, rehabilitation, and the opportunity to find loving homes. Through community partnerships, education, and compassion, we are building a future where every animal has a safe place to land and every family has access to the resources they need.

We're an all-volunteer rescue

Lucky Penny Kitties is powered entirely by dedicated volunteers with no physical facility and limited foster space. We work hard to help every cat we can — and we're grateful for your understanding as we do.

Please also know that we are not an emergency service. As an all-volunteer team, we don't staff a phone line or monitor messages 24/7. We strive to respond to every message as quickly as we can, but please understand that we have limits.
