WE ARE SO EXCITED to welcome the incredible to the board of the new Kitty Beautiful Foundation. Andrae's daughter has been a beloved volunteer at our cafe for months and we're so happy to have him helping us out.

Andrae Bailey is the founder and president of Change Everything, the leading social innovation organization in America dedicated to creating transformation on society's most seemingly unsolvable problems. His dedication to this work has made him one of the foremost experts alive on important issues like on poverty, education, homelessness, the opioid crisis, and now the mental health crisis impacting Gen Z and Millennials. He has personally led many of the largest and most successful initiatives in American history that have brought together and impacted those in need. The initiatives Bailey has created include well-know national movements like Rethinking Homelessness, Project Opioid, Breaking Thru and SocialImpact.AI.

Come to our kickoff event tomorrow at 5pm for complimentary sparkling wine and meowmosas, as well as delicious fresh baked snacks and small bites, and to learn all about how we will be trying to improve and grow our goal of finding homes for more rescued kitties!

Go to https://thekittybeautiful.as.me/cocktails to grab your spot, we only have a few spaces remaining!

Dear Internet,

We are quite perplexed. For five years, we've watched cats come and go through the doors of the Kitty Beautiful. 6 month olds barely old enough to hiss will disappear within days, tumbling into eager arms. Even the grumpiest old tomcats, the ones who look like they'd rather be anywhere else, eventually find their way to a sunbeam in a new home. Then there are cats like Moana – great cats, wonderful cats, yet, unfortunately, no one adopts them.

Moana is a sassy queen. A sleek, black and white tuxedo cat with a personality that could fill a stadium. She definitely acts like she doesn't like other cats, strutting around with her tail held high, shooting them disapproving glances. Although, we know secretly she likes Bongo and Hopper. She'll never admit it, of course. She says Hopper gets on her nerves with his constant clumsy antics. She has a big personality, she brings some drama, but she is definitely a dynamic feline. She is a vibrant presence, a little firecracker with a sophisticated air.

We get cats that are here for a day or two, or perhaps even a few weeks, that get adopted. So, why is Moana, the sassy, left behind? We guess maybe their humans haven't found her yet. Maybe the right person hasn’t walked through the door who understood that Moana's sass is just a shield for a very loving heart.

We hope they find her soon. She deserves to go to a good home.

So, we'll do my best to support her, to nudge her towards potential adopters, and to provide a little comfort in the meantime. And we look forward to the day we get to say goodbye because that will mean that she is finally going home.

-- Bongo Resident Cat, and The Kitty Beautiful Team

Today, we celebrate a triumph of second chances! Silver's 187-day journey at the cafe has led him to his forever home, marking our 898th adoption success story! 🎉

Congratulations to Catniss, who found her new forever family!

Would you like to help us out at The Kitty Beautiful but don't have a lot of time to volunteer? Well, you're in luck...because we need people Monday and the only thing we are asking for is help cleaning.

Monday, March 10, is going to be spring cleaning day at the cafe. We'll be going over the entire cafe, front and cat lounge, front to back, and cleaning, washing, mopping, and the like.

If you'd like to come help, we would love to have you. Just show up between 10am and 5pm and be ready to help clean. If you want to bring your own items to help, that's fine, just make sure everything is non-toxic and safe for cats.

Today's episode of "Musings while airing out the cat lounge." Moana is our co-host. No music today - can't hear it over the wind. We talk about privacy and how we don't offer that to the cats because... well, they are cats and the internet would not be around if it wasn't for funny cat videos. We also talk about how horrible the meter men are here in downtown Orlando.
