how it all started

Hi, my name is Elisa and I created this 501(c)3 after my cat, Pumpkin! As a college student I was always super invested in animal welfare and spreading kindness to all beings on Earth. However, I did not get involved in cat rescue until I found Pumpkin on the highway median while I was driving home in the afternoon. She was a 2 month old kitten placed or thrown on the concrete separator, her paws raw and her bottom lip slightly detached. Finding her led me into a cruel understanding of the world. She is the reason that I learned what fostering is. Pumpkin, was my first foster fail. Due to the tragedy she experienced, I decided to educate myself. I learned about spay/neuter importance (TNR), neonatal kitten care, and fostering. Thanks to Pumpkin, I am able to help cats all around South Florida.
