Facilitate Adoptions

We connect adoptable cats with loving families through our on-site and foster-based adoption programs, ensuring they find the forever homes they deserve.

Promote Compassionate Living

We encourage kindness and respect for all living beings, fostering a culture of compassion that helps build a better world for animals and humans alike.

“When did the line get drawn between food and friend? Who decided that cats and dogs are for companionship and chickens, pigs and cows are for eating? What’s the difference?​ There is no difference. They all experience the same hope, fear, excitement, pain, and happiness. The line was drawn by humans, for humans. Cats like their chins scratched, chickens enjoy having their wattles massaged, and pigs love belly rubs. The only difference is your perception. Make the connection.”
