In Eskişehir, Turkey, a small street cat is sitting in a clinic cage, waiting. Her name is Zeytin. She has been diagnosed with wet FIP. Without treatment, this disease is almost always fatal. With treatment, she has a chance. But right now, that chance is slipping away. Not Her Cat — Still Her Responsibility Zeytin doesn’t belong to anyone. She’s a street cat. But when she got sick, one person chose not to walk away. Narsis Omidvar stepped in. No organization. No funding. No

She never went looking for a family. The family just kept showing up at her door. One at a time. Unannounced. Each one a little more determined than the last. Catrina. The one who decided on a Saturday. Catrina was the first, and she arrived the way all the best things do: completely unexpected, on a random day in 2015, left at the entrance of a shop in Lima by someone who didn't leave a note. She was two weeks old. Small enough to fit in a palm. And she didn't want to eat. H

Hi there, fellow cats and humans. We’re June, Jay, and James — three very different purrsonalities living under one roof, each with our own quirks, routines, and special bonds. Together, we make quite the trio… even if we don’t always agree on everything. Our Humans (a.k.a. Our Staff) We share our home in Purmerend, The Netherlands, with our human cat mom Nancy, cat dad Tim, and since 2020, our little human brother Mason.  June: I’ve been here the longest. I met my pawrents b

Behind every great cat product, there’s often a deeply personal story — and Purrlys® is no exception. We spoke with Janet, founder of Purrlys®, about her rescue cats, Coco and Paco, and how their health struggles led to the creation of a feline oral care solution grounded in science and compassion. From Coastal Australia to Cat Parenthood Janet lives in Stanwell Park, a tiny coastal village in New South Wales, about an hour south of Sydney. It’s there that she and her husband

Truffles’ story doesn’t begin with certainty; it begins with survival. “Because I’m a rescue kitty, we’re not totally sure,” her mom explains when it comes to her age and early life. What is known is that Truffles was found on the streets of Nashville, Tennessee, USA, in October 2020, already an adult, already shaped by years of fending for herself. The vet estimated she was around three years old at the time - meaning today, she’s about eight. But those early years were anyt

Hello! I’m Jeeves, from London. Jeeves And yes, I live on a narrowboat on the canals with my pawrents: proof that cats can live on boats too. I didn’t plan this life. It sort of… happened. Much like me. I was a small surprise kitten. My mum had me just before getting spayed. My siblings were adopted quickly, and I was the one left waiting. Not rejected. Just… pending. Then two hoomans who already lived on my boat decided I looked like a cute future shipmate. Bold judgement. M

Hi! My name is Giovanni. I’m a three years old cat from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I live indoors and I take my daily responsibilities very seriously: testing toys, judging beds and making sure food arrives on time 🐾. Giovanni Somewhere along the way, my hoomans also decided I had style. That’s how I became a fashion cat. And yes, apparently also a catfluencer. This was never part of my plan. It started with one bandana that didn’t bother me much. You know… it didn’t interfere

Hi there! We’re Simba and Nala, twin cats from Venlo, The Netherlands. 🐾We’re also professional nap experts and catfluencers with more than 9,000 followers. Still not sure how that happened, but here we are 😸 Simba and Nala We were born on April 2, 2025, and we’ve been doing life TOGETHER (yes, in capital letters!) ever since. Eating together, sleeping together, playing together, occasionally fighting over food… but always having each other’s back. Being twins means one imp

Hi there! My name is Mr. Marcel, I’m two years old, and my life began with a bit of mystery. I don’t know exactly where or when I was born. What I do  know is that when I was about six months old, I was found in Spijkenisse, in the Netherlands. Some kind humans rescued me and contacted a foundation, which placed me in a temporary foster home in Rotterdam. After that, my life slowly but surely began to change. For a while, I continued living in Rotterdam with my new humans. Bu

Meet designer Vincent from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, the creative mind behind MUMU—a modular cat furniture system born from love, loss, and the simple observation that cats get excited when you rearrange the furniture.

He loves to eat, sleep, and move through life at his own pace as he gets older, he does not rush joy, he settles into it, and me, Humphrey, as an orange cat I am full of energy, curiosity and enough misc

Some humans think cats just appear in their lives. Like magic, or coincidence. We know better. Our names are Honey and Luna, and this is our story, told from where it truly lives: from inside a cat’s heart 🐾 🌙 Luna — I was still a kitten when I had to survive I was about six months old when the street taught me fear. My sister and I tried to stay close, but bigger cats chased us constantly. One day, she disappeared. I never saw her again….I was alone. Someone tried to find

The Story Behind the Page In the mountains of Córdoba, Argentina, where rivers wind through valleys and nature stretches endlessly, there's a home that pulses with life. It's not just the home of Siku, a 39-year-old mother, but of her two daughters (ages 8 and 10), six cats, and four dogs—a beautiful, chaotic family bound together by love. The Instagram page @gat0landias  tells its story, but it began with a memory. A single cat who changed everything. "We started this page i

In your 20s, you will meet an animal that soon becomes your closest companion to teach you about life - you must keep them forever. For Nhi from Vietnam, it is Spidey and Coffee - the black kitties duo who keep reminding her of unconditional love, happiness, and responsibility.   From seeking only small mental support, Nhi has been a cat mom to two lovely kids for almost two years.

It’s that time of year again: the annual (and by now almost traditional) CatSwoppr End of Year Recap! A moment to pause and reflect on what we’ve achieved, especially in terms of what we’ve been able to give to cats and our global community of cat fans. It is also a moment to look ahead and share what we would like to attain next. Since it’s impossible to list everything our team has noticed, experienced, and — most importantly — created for our digital cat community this yea

When you are ready for a cat, the universe will send you one, unexpectedly  - that is how the Cat Distribution System works, and Miel’s sudden presence is an example of this miraculous system. On a typical day in 2020, Miel found her destined human family while wandering around and meowing on a street of Lima, Peru. No one knew exactly where she was from, whether she already had a family, but there was one thing the family knew for sure: Miel was a gift - she appeared to be

Get to know about “Cat Café Mirri” which is located in Finland, Turku! It all started from a dream, a university project and an inspiration from a cat called Mirri. We interviewed Iris, the owner of the café. How it all started and what inspired the cat café? Iris recalls the very first beginning of the cat café: “It was a mix of many things. I always knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur, just did not know what kind. I thought of mixing cats and coffee during a class in the 9t

In the quiet corners of Ibiza — far from beaches, nightlife, and postcards — there is a place where hope purrs softly, and love shows up in whiskered form. Its name appears more and more online: La Casita de Mishu Ibiza, a tiny but powerful cat rescue in Ibiza run entirely by two people with hearts far bigger than their resources: Mila and her husband. This is not just a story about a cat shelter in Ibiza. It’s a story about compassion, resilience, and the extraordinary impac

In a peaceful corner of South West Somerset, England, there lies a kingdom unlike any other. Ruled not by humans, but by five majestic Sphynx cats with hearts (and personalities), it’s far bigger than their lack of fur. Allow us to introduce you to the sovereigns: Oliver (9), Pandora (8), Arya (5), Amidala (4) and Cassiopeia (3), a dynasty of elegance, chaos, and charm known to their loyal subjects on Instagram as @oliverpandorasphynx 🐾 The origin of a Feline Empire It all b

In a world that never stops scrolling, clicking, or scheduling, stillness has become a luxury. And yet, somewhere between the noise of notifications and the quiet hum of a laptop, peace returns — in the shape of a purring cat. Welcome to PawVibesZ (still known on social as @pawsitivevibesz ), the world’s first platform turning Zoom calls into moments of calm, mindfulness, and emotional grounding through virtual cat therapy sessions.

Hi there, hoomans! 🐾 I’m Bella Bellarda, a 5-year-old Canadian cat. Once labelled a “problem cat,”  now a shoulder-jumping, cuddle-seeking, almost-100K Instagram cat with a very serious message: adopt, don’t shop. And once you adopt, never abandon us. We are not toys. We are family 💛 I live in Canada with my dad and my godfather, two humans who believed in me when others didn’t. They taught me that love means showing up every day, not just when things are easy. Together, we

Some encounters happen naturally, and some others, repentinamente  — suddenly. That’s how Tino (Valentino) Repentino came into the world of his human mom: out of nowhere, but loud enough to change a life. His nickname, which means sudden in Spanish, couldn’t be a better fit for him, whose story began with a desperate cry in the middle of chaos. One afternoon in La Victoria a district of Lima, Peru, Tino’s soon-to-be mom was helping her brother pick up a truck when she heard

For over a decade, Sab has devoted herself to the well-being of cats. From tiny kittens to special-needs seniors, her journey began long before Amsterdam, back when she was volunteering to support stray cats with food, medical aid, and rehabilitation. " I once had a disabled cat and even treated a cat suffering from FIP, " she shares. " Those experiences taught me a lot about patience and hope. "   Finding Her Calling in Amsterdam After settling in Amsterdam, she discovered a

Greetings, feline friends and devoted humans! I’m Pushu — a playful cat living my best life in Dhaka, Bangladesh. My story began in September 2022, when my amazing pawrent, Tasnim, adopted me. That day changed my life forever. From the very first cuddle, I knew I was home — surrounded by love, warmth, and endless treats. One of my favorite memories is from that first night. I curled up right beside Tasnim, purring nonstop, and refused to leave her side. That moment made me re

On 27th of September Anetta’s neighbours needed to prepare for traveling, but for some reason went to get some groceries. On the way back home in Herceg Novi, Montenegro, they saw a kitten laying on the road. The kitten was obviously hit by a car and neighbours went to move him from the road at least. But the kitten was alive, but very hurt and almost unconscious. Neighbours then decided to go as fast as they could to the only vet doctor that was available at that time. The k

Hi humans! 👋 We’re Nube (8), Braulio (5), Paco (4), Dora (4), and Pepa (3) — five proud rescue cats from Galicia, Spain.Once upon a time, we were just stray whiskers wandering the streets. Today, we share a cozy home filled with purrs, naps, and a little bit of chaos — the good kind. Our humans, Karen and Karencio, opened their doors (and hearts) to us one by one. What started as a simple act of kindness turned into a full house — and a full heart. Now, mornings begin with s
