Try calling Catalina on Monday. They’ll know who made masts for them. RigRite is another source worth checking out. A rigger would be able to find the lengths of the two masts and tell you if a Hunter or other mast would work, though the height of the gooseneck might not work out.

Look at the data sheet for your Catalina 30 yacht and record the measurements: I; P; J; E; SAF; SAM; SAT; Fore stay length.
Search the Internet or read a book that teaches you what they are, what they mean, and how to use them.
Compare them to the measurements of a yacht mast you may want to search for on recycling offers or present them to a mast maker.
