Pollardville was an old west ghost town near Stockton California. The old landmark provided entertainment and food to the local area for decades. Pollardville was right off of the main highway and was a great place for a restaurant but a bad place for cats!

Last year, a developer (who intends to bulldoze the ghost town to the ground) bought it. More than 50 feral cats had been using the old ghost town as their home. We trapped, spayed, neutered and provided veterinary care and rehabilitation/adoption for as many of the cats suspected to be residing under the buildings in Pollardville as we possibly could.

The site is now closed. Any stray or tame cats remaining at Pollardville will likely be crushed to death when the buildings are bulldozed. No one will be able to do anything about the animals that are left behind. We tried to get as many of them out of there as possible.

The cats that we captured were taken care of and moved to our sanctuary in El Dorado Hills, CA. It is our intention to find homes for as many of these little guys as possible. Those that remain feral will live out their lives at our facility, free from starvation, disease and the dangers of highways and cars. See some of the Pollardville ferals we rescued.

If you can help us with the continued care of these special animals, please don't hesitate to call us at: 916-939-3418 or email cmsquirrel@sbcglobal.net

The old repair shack frequented by many of the local cats. The cats hid under these old building and trashy areas.
