Ernie (†) didn't wait to be rescued: he chose his family himself. He appeared under a parked car in Vallejo, California. Tiny, feral, thin, full of fleas. Irene Wong and Ernie's human father Joe Zwetsloot thought he belonged to a neighbor. He didn't. They brought him back up the street. The next day, he was at their door again. And that was it. "It is the most strong bond between an animal and a human that I've ever seen," Irene said. What followed was 13 years of road trips,

Endang from Medan, Indonesia, never planned to run a rescue. She helped one abandoned cat. Then another. Today, she cares for +60 rescued cats inside her own home in Medan on Sumatra 🇮🇩 This is an independent rescue with no team or safety net. Just her daily love, care and hard choices. Showing up, even when it’s hard. You don’t have to live nearby to help: following her, sharing her story, or donating food, supplies, or funds helps keep her work going. You can also follow

Everyone can help🐾 Cristina from Madrid, Spain, has been caring for homeless cats for years. It started with Tasmi. Some cats have found a home with her. Others are part of colonies she supports every day, together with other caregivers and shelters. She feeds them, builds shelters, helps with vet care, and shares their stories online to change how people see street cats: but as little lives that matter. She doesn’t do this alone. She’s part of a network of people who simply

At Global Cat PR Agency CatSwoppr, we love sharing stories that show the special bond between cats and their humans. This is the story of Milton Biscuit, as told by his pawrents in Dublin, Ireland. Milton Biscuit Sometimes cats come to you through your subconscious mind. You may be unaware of their presence in your life until one day they come up to you in person and you suddenly realize that “This is what I have been waiting for”. That was how Milton came to our family, u

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! 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

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

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.

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.
