The purpose of the Street Cats Club is to improve the lives of stray cats:

History
The Street Cats Club was created in 2019 by founder Victoria Partridge. It was originally started as a program under the umbrella of the Humane Society of the Flint Hills (HSFH). This allowed the group to partner with the HSFH while it created its board of directors, finances, volunteer base, etc. After one year in the HSFH incubator program, the group moved out on its own and began operating independently. In 2021, the Street Cats Club became an official 501c3 nonprofit charitable organization. And, in 2022, the organization became a licensed shelter in the state of Kansas.
