💛 Meet Luna!

Luna is a highly confident cat who is full of curiosity and can be playful. She is happy to introduce herself to new people. She loves affection and has a deep purr.

Through no fault of her own, she has found herself looking for a new home. She came from a chaotic situation. Sadly, her family was facing eviction. She lived and got along well with other resident cats. She has had two litters of kittens and is ready to relax and be a wonderful companion cat. (Her last kittens Snowball and Pickles were recently adopted together)! Her history with dogs is limited, but with a proper and slow introduction she is likely to do well.

She is a resilient cat, who is waiting and ready to be pampered. Her previous diet wasn’t ideal, and she needs help putting on weight and gaining a shiny fur coat. She will need to be fed a high-quality diet of wet food and kibble. Churu and other treats are important to her as well!

Her favorite snuggle buddy was a grade-school boy who was broken hearted to see her go. I promised him I would take care of his kitty and find her a great home.

Luna is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and de-wormed. She is approximately 1 1/2 -2 years old.

I’ve collaborated with my friends . You can meet Luna at the Murray, UT Petsmart.

DM for more info or an adoption application.

🖤Meet Shy!

Shy is a sweet girl with a gentle heart. She is looking for a peaceful home where she can feel relaxed and loved.

Shy came from a chaotic environment and found herself looking for a new home through no fault of her own. Sadly, her family was facing eviction. She lived with young children and a full house in the past, but all that energy was overwhelming for her.

She lived and got along well with other feline friends. She has also been a mama in the past. Her history with dogs is unknown, but with a slow and proper introduction she would likely be ok.

She likes slow gentle pets and may curl up on your lap while purring softly. At times she likes her independence. She has been enjoying high quality food- canned and kibble. She appreciates treats too. She has a playful side and when she’s comfortable is curious about toys.

She has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. She is approx 1 1/2- 2 yrs old.

If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate cat full of love, Shy may be the right cat for you!

I’ve collaborated with my friends Kitty CrusAIDe. You can meet Shy at the Murray, UT Petsmart.

💙 Meet Opie!

Opie had a bit of a rough start, but he’s moving on. Want to join him? Opie is a fantastic kitty who is outgoing and friendly. He seeks out attention and is a purr machine. He doesn’t seem to mind dogs. He could be adopted as an only cat or learn to live with other cats. His experience with kids is unknown, but he should adjust fine to them.

Opie is approx 8 months old. He’s been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. He is strictly an indoor cat. He is looking for a family to love and dote on him- which would be easy to do. He’s got it all… looks and personality.

This beautiful boy found himself either lost or abandoned. He was spotted living under a shipping container behind a business. His collar tells a story of once having the comfort of a home. It is unknown how he found himself in that situation and he was terrified.

Unfortunately, after posting on the local fb lost pet pages, no owners have been found. (There is no municipal animal shelter here). He had no identification on his collar and was without a microchip. He was on the streets unaltered.

Anyway…

Opie is starting a new book called “The Good Life.” He’s looking for committed, loving responsible owners only. You can meet Opie at the Murray, UT Petsmart.

I’ve collaborated with my friends at DM for more info or an adoption application. Let’s find this guy his forever family!

🩶 Meet Loki!

Loki is the sweetest little boy with a face that will buckle your knees! He loves affection and will let you pet him for hours. He loves interactive play and would do just about anything for treats and food.

This little kitten was living in a feral cat colony behind a business. In January he was humanely trapped. He then went to a foster home for socialization. He is learning that people aren’t so bad. Loki would love to be adopted with one of his siblings. (He does great with Leena, who is also up for adoption). Or he could possibly be a new friend to your kitty. He hasn’t had experience with dogs or kids yet. He’s approximately six months old.

He will need a patient and understanding family that will help him continue to feel comfortable. He’s a great little guy and has a lot to offer.

I’ve collaborated with my friends at to help him find a fantastic home. You can meet Loki at the Murray, UT Petsmart.

🥁Drum roll please… Oliver was adopted!
They call him Ollie.

Oliver came from a feral cat colony as an older kitten. He then spent some time in a foster home getting some socialization. He progressed there, but was still going to need a patient and understanding family, one that would continue helping him gain confidence.

Daniel and Lauren just finished building their new home and were excited and ready to add a second cat to their family. They fostered Oliver before adopting him to make sure he would adjust to their cat Luna and be a good fit in the family.

On Feb 6 the adoption was made final! I’m so excited for this little cat we lovingly called Mini Cheese. (Since he looked liked 2 other foster cats, Colby and Monty. Short for Colby cheese & Monterey Jack cheese). You’ve come so far Oliver. You went and found the good life!

Here’s what his new family has to say…

Oliver is enjoying his time chasing zip ties and getting chin scratches. He’s even getting comfortable enough to entertain the piano students and play games with them while they wait for their lessons. Ollie and Luna are finally figuring each other out, sleeping near each other and taking turns zooming around the house playing tag. Overall, he is relaxed and energetically happy to be here!

Congratulations Daniel and Lauren! Thank you for giving Oliver a chance and giving him a great home!

Look at this doll! Do you want to be part of a great cause? Do you love and care about cats? I am looking for volunteers near the Deweyville, UT area.

2 years ago I helped 18 + cats in this colony. They have already been TNR’d. I need a couple of volunteers to rotate going once a day. The kitties will be eager to get fresh water and food. (Permission has been given to feed on property)

Shoutout to the one awesome volunteer has fed for the past 2+ yrs. (You know who you are! 😽) She needs a helping hand, and is unable to stop by everyday.

(Don’t worry, cat food will be provided)

Please DM me if you are able to help. If you know someone who might be interested please share. Thank you!

Do you know me?!

Friendly cat was trapped in Logan yesterday behind some businesses. No microchip. This kitty is at the vet today being fixed, vaccinated and dewormed. If this is your kitty, please message me. Owner will need to verify the s*x and color of collar. I hope this kitty is lost and not abandoned.

Update 2: Funds secured. Thank you. 💙

Update: A sad story. During her exam it was discovered that the FIP was more advanced than originally thought. This poor kitten had started displaying neurological symptoms. Not only was her abdomen full of fluid, the vet believed it was also in her lungs. (We did not do an ultrasound or x-rays, but her lungs sounded abnomally quiet and her breathing was labored). She also had additional health issues. After 5 days of injections, she had continued to deteriorate.

The decision was made to let her go and she was humanly euthanized. It was sad and not the outcome I expected. However, I’m so grateful she didn’t die on the streets where she was found. She was rescued with her mama and sister. She had the comfort of a home and was most definitely loved. She is at peace.

I named her Hailey. 💙

I’ve added a pic of the final vet bill. Thank you to those who have already donated to her care.

Donations urgently needed! I have a very sickly kitten with FIP. My vet is squeezing her in today for an exam and to confirm the diagnosis. I have already acquired medication and started treatment. Celeste Park-Estes is providing guidence. This sweet girl is fighting for her life. Can you help her? ANY amount is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

🧡 Funds needed!

Hamilton isn’t feeling well. He’s proven to be a challenging and ongoing case. He’s been such a good boy.

After his full teeth extraction, the stomatitis remains. He has been prescribed oral cyclosporine. This drug helps reduce inflammation and manage the immune system response that contributes to this painful condition.

Treatment is a bit expensive. Hamilton has been through so much and I’m doing all I can to get him some relief. Thank you to those who have been supporting his journey. We couldn’t have come this far without you.

(I hoped to post this sooner, but I’ve been swamped). $272.66 is the total. Any amount is greatly appreciated!

Thank you! 🧡

Drum roll please…🥁

Minnie Mae was adopted!

1/18/25

A few years ago I was working on a feral cat colony behind a business. Minnie Mae was humanely trapped near a dumpster at 6-8 months old. She was feral, underweight & scared. However, she had a gentle demeanor. I decided to see if she could be socialized. She turned out to be a sweetheart.

My dear friend- the late Kelly Lawson, reached out to me and was looking for a cat for her Mom. I matched her with Minnie Mae. It was a great fit. She brought company, laughter & entertainment to her new person Vickie Jones. Sadly, a couple of yrs later, Vickie ended up in the hospital and passed away.

Once again sweet Minnie Mae was without a home. I went and picked her up in Salt Lake. It was a sad day. Minnie was scared & confused. She had seen Vickie get hurt. She had also been living over a month alone in an apartment. (People would stop in and feed her)

In her new foster home she was shut down. She didn’t have much of an appetite, regardless of all the different foods tried. Gradually she accepted her new situation- but never fully embraced it. She didn’t show her silly playful side & didn’t care for living with other cats.

It took a year for the right person to come along. Melody was grieving the loss of her German Shepard dog. She was looking for another ESA animal, this time a cat she could give a forever home to. After talking with her and looking over the application, I knew she and Minnie needed each other.

I noticed Melody’s gentleness and responsible nature. She prepared for & wanted to do everything right for her new companion.

Currently Minnie is sleeping on her bed & learning to trust & love her new person. Melody says she pounces on her feet when she wants to play & gets the zoomies. “She lets me kiss her head & pet her a lot. She really purrs up a storm whenever I pet her, or when she wants to play. She’s been a big comfort to me. It’s so nice to have her presence here. She’s just plain wonderful.”

Her name is now Faith.

She went with her cat tower, fav treats & toys. This home was worth the wait. She will be loved and give love the rest of her days; & I am happy.

Congratulations! 🧡🧡

Jeffrey was adopted!
1/17/25

I’m SO excited for Jeffrey and his new family JD & Audrey!

This family knows all about loving and giving cats a wonderful life. They previously had two cats. When the last one died at age 17, they were heartbroken. They felt that they couldn’t go through that kind of pain again.

Although they didn’t plan on having anymore cats, fate had other plans. When JD was driving home from work in the pouring rain, he spotted two little eyes on a busy highway. They belonged to a 6 week old tortoise shell kitten who was drenched from the rain. He immediately turned his car around and picked her up.

Once old enough, they had her spayed and vaccinated. They wanted to take care of her properly before finding her a home. (I mean… how many people do you know that would do that)? This family is exceptional!

Soon after surgery, Pip the kitten became extremely ill. She was diagnosed with FIP. (A fatal disease that had no cure up until recently). They went through a costly three month regimen of injections and medication. The drug at the time was only avail on the black market. It saved her life.

Now Pip is 9 months old and healthy. They thought Pip might like another feline companion. They also wanted a sweet lovey kitten.

Their search lead our paths to cross. After hearing what they were looking for, I knew Jeffrey would be the perfect fit. He too was rescued off the road, (a freeway on-ramp at six weeks old).

The past couple of days, I have received regular updates. He is fitting in well. Audrey says: “We are so thrilled to have Jeffrey as part of our family.”

Well… I’m thrilled too! This is why I do what I do.

Congrats!

❤️‍🩹 Funding needed!

Jeffrey was found on a freeway on-ramp in Brigham City. He has come a long way. He has already been neutered, vaccinated, and dewormed. I recently found he has inflamed painful gums. He was seen by the vet to get this resolved before he can be adopted.

Donations are greatly needed! No amount is too small. I do this out of my own pocket and with the help of donors. The vet bills, food, litter, etc are tremendous.

Thank you!

Update 2: We did it! 39 kind individuals GAVE. Gaaah, thank you! 🥹🧡🧡

Whether you donated $1 or $200 it made a mathematical difference. You helped a needy innocent animal that didn’t ask to be put in this situation. You supported me and my efforts to help cats that were failed by someone else. Hamilton will have a chance for the life he deserves.

❤️‍🩹 Update: Funds still needed for Hamilton!

While Hamilton is recovering great, my bank account isn’t. But we’re getting so close!

$1,095.53 was needed to cover his last medical bill.

26 fantastic people donated a total of $756!

Thank you!

The only way I can help these cats is through your support. It’s important to me, that every cat I rescue receives proper medical care before adoption. Hamilton is a special case and has been through a lot. He will be avail for adoption once he is healthy.

Remaining balance: $339.53

Please help! $1,095.53 needed.

Hamilton continues to be an ongoing special case. A few months ago he had several teeth removed due to stomatitis. Things were looking good, until the stomatitis came back in full force. 🙀

A week ago he went in for an entire teeth extraction. Poor Hammy is once again on the mend. The vet and I are hoping this completely resolves his painful issue.

This is a big expense and I really need help covering his medical bills. I make sure every cat I rescue receives proper medical treatment and care before adoption.

I’m doing everything I can to alleviate the suffering of street cats in a city that sadly does nothing for them.

If you believe in the work I do, and believe in Hamilton, let’s do this!

🤎 Funds needed!

My name is Krissy. I was found as a stray with my two kittens (they were stuck down in a window well and rescued too)

I’ve been spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped and tested neg for FIV and FeLV. I had a small degenerative eye that needed to be removed. It could have been caused from an old injury, but the vet thinks it’s likely I was born that way. It will no longer be infected or cause discomfort.

I am healing and doing great! Although, there is a medical bill that has to be paid. $354.97 is needed to cover costs. Would you be willing to donate a few dollars? I would appreciate it so much.

I am also taking applications to find my forever home. If interested just ask!

Samantha & Callie were adopted! 🩷🩷

Ken and RaNae not only adopted one, but two kitties! When Amber a former adopter found out her parents were looking to adopt a kitty, she referred them to The Cat Project. I’m so thrilled she did!

Samantha, who they call Sammy, was found in the mall parking lot while I was working on a tnr project. She was pregnant and living in the bushes. No owners were found and it’s likely she was abandoned.

Callie was trapped in my own backyard as a frightened feral kitten. After some socialization she was soon ready for her forever home. They were both spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and tested negative for FIV/ FeLV.

These two kitties landed in a wonderful home. This family is taking all the right steps and eager to give quality care to their new family members. RaNae is mildly allergic to cats, but is successfully figuring out how to combat her allergy. She feeds a special premium cat food that helps. (Did you know there is a scientifically proven cat food that significantly reduces the main FEL D 1 allergen in cats? Check out Purina Pro Plan, Live Clear) 

With a little time and patience, the kitties have adjusted well. Even though they didn’t know each other before, they’ve become fast friends. They love to chase each other up and down the stairs and lounge in their new cat tree. They bring a lot of happiness to their new family and that makes me happy too!

Ruby was adopted! 🖤

Ruby was adopted by a fantastic human. The kind of human that would go to the Humane Society and read books to the cats. Joe was looking for an adult cat and interested in adopting a black cat.
Through searching online he came across my foster Ruby. It was a perfect match. He named her Roxy.

He has gone above and beyond making sure she has adjusted and been comfortable every step of the way. Joe has turned his tv room into a cat room. She loves to sit in Joe’s lap while they watch television. Roxy has custom steps and shelves to climb, a window perch, a cat running wheel, toys, a fancy collar, high quality food and treats, (often given on a lickable cat mat for enrichment). Joe even put a nightlight by her litter box (b/c he figured she would like that in the night). He said, well wouldn’t you?! Joe has thought of everything- including adding Roxy in his will. He has arranged for his granddaughter to take over her care if something were to happen to him.

She was adopted 12/14/23, but the update yesterday was this: “Roxy and I have become very good friends. I can just feel that she loves me and I love her so much. I just love my time with her. I am retired so we spend a lot of time together. I love Roxy and I’m so grateful I found that kitty rescue, and for Adrian. It’s been wonderful. Thanks again.”

She’s come a long way since I saw her in a mall parking lot. She was playing with a piece of litter that was blowing in the wind. I pulled over and was surprised that she was so friendly. She was hungry and eagerly ate a can of wet food. I took her home, but never found any owners.

She was spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. She was put up for adoption. Much thanks for collaborating with me and helping me find Ruby, aka Roxy such a fantastic home!
