Welcome

Animal Outreach is a not-for-profit animal welfare group. We provide a spay/neuter/vaccination clinic for cats. We have cats in shelter care, and all are available for adoption. Animal Outreach of the Mother Lode is located in Northern California, just east of Sacramento in the small community of Diamond Springs, near Placerville.

Our main goal is to help ease the feline pet overpopulation problem by providing low-cost spay & neuter services for cats to El Dorado and surrounding counties. Animal Outreach is staffed by dedicated and skilled volunteers who maintain the clinic and office.


"Garage" Sale to benefit Animal Outreach of the Mother Lode will be held July 26th from 8a to 2p in the clinic parking lot (6200 Enterprise Drive, Placerville).

Volunteer receptionist with lots of experience desperately needed!! Please contact Lana at 530-642-2287 to apply

We are looking for special people who love cats to volunteer at the clinic doing various duties. Volunteers must be over 16 years old. We have AM & PM, weekday and weekend openings. We also need Foster Parents during the KITTEN season. We furnish food, medications, litter and instructions on how to care for the little ones.

Please check this website often to see a few of our current cats ready for adoption.

We would appreciate your help. We are always in need of donations of money and supplies to continue caring for all the cats who depend on us. Thank you!
