Neptune decided to audition for a scary cat role in an upcoming horror movie 🎬🐈‍⬛

He nailed the dramatic look… but let’s be honest — he’s way too sweet for that role 🖤

Also, can we please crowdfund a movie called Hocus Purrcus that only features cats? Because Neptune’s ready for his close-up 🎃

Ever since I bought this house, I knew the dark beige walls and black floors weren’t the vibe for our sunshine-loving Suncatchers. I always imagined bright, light-filled walls that reflected the warmth and joy of our sanctuary.

But, of course, the house had a few surprises for me. 😅 Recently I discovered the paint just peels right off, most likely due to the previous owners not prepping the walls correctly. So for the past several weeks, I’ve been spending my days slowly peeling away layers of old paint while the Suncatchers sit nearby, supervising (aka not helping, but definitely judging me from the corner.) 😹

It’s incredibly tedious work, but every bare patch feels like progress. Bit by bit, we’re creating the foundation for a brighter, happier space—one that truly feels like a sanctuary. Once the walls are done, the next big step will be to cattify the house with shelves, perches, and vertical hangouts so our senior and special needs cats can enjoy more vertical space.

It’s a long road ahead, but I’m determined to make this home as full of life, light, and love as the Suncatchers who live here and those who are waiting for a safe place to land. Please keep rooting for me because I can definitely use some motivation😂💛

Boop can't believe it... And neither can we!
Thanks to your incredible support, our catio fundraiser has reached $2,500 — 38% of our goal! 🥳🎉
We still have a way to go, but with cooler weather approaching, it would be amazing to build the catio before next summer ☀️

Every donation helps bring this dream closer to reality. If you’re able to support, please donate here:

Even if you can’t donate, sharing our project with friends and family helps just as much — spreading the word is a huge help to our Suncatchers!

Remember that toy Bibi loved? The one she completely destroyed?😭
Well, luckily we found something new that she loves! It’s a giant spring that’s become a hit with all the Suncatchers.
We switched to this after realizing the traditional cat tunnels get urinated on every single day (life at the sanctuary, you know 💦).
This one still gives that same tunnel vibe the cats adore, but it doesn't get peed on, super fun, and apparently… also wearable😂 Bibi loves to play with it and wear it like a little tutu 🩰💛
Huge thank you to Chanell for gifting this brilliant toy. It's definitely a new sanctuary favorite!

Monday mood: trying to answer emails while my two “assistants” decide it’s the perfect time for a grooming session right in front of my screen 💻😹

They’ve typed up nonsensical responses, started up 10 different applications, and somehow changed my settings that I don't know how to reverse without restarting 😂

This is what it looks like behind the scenes. Endless feeling of cat fur in my nose, zero personal space, and me chugging iced coffee and hoping for the best🤞✨

The weather has cooled down in Phoenix, and the Suncatchers have been loving their little morning moments in the backyard🌿

It’s such a simple thing, but watching them reminds me how healing it is to slow down and really appreciate what’s right in front of us. These quiet moments always feel like a soft reset.

What’s something your cat has taught you lately?

Paralyzed cats need a little extra help with grooming, and Sienna takes that role to heart (even if Aiko’s not much of a helper 😆). Their bond is pure love💖

He’s back at it again! Our sanctuary heartthrob, Moose, spending quality time with his favorite reflection 🪞💛

What started as a silly little moment has turned into a nightly ritual. I guess self-love really does go a long way😹

One of the best parts about receiving gifts are the boxes! 📦✨ Around here, they quickly become prized real estate.

Bibi in particular has her own approach to box life: If it doesn’t fit… just customize it 🤣

Thank you again to everyone who sent food and treats last week. Your generosity doesn’t just feed hungry bellies, but it also sparks joy, play, and some very creative “home improvement” projects💛

✨ A Huge Thank You to Larkspur Cat Clinic! ✨

We’re so touched to share that the wonderful patrons of Larkspur Cat Clinic have helped raise $376 (and counting!) toward our Dream Catio Project.

Every dollar brings us closer to giving our senior and special needs kitties a safe, peaceful space to soak up the sunshine and fresh air 🌞

We’re endlessly grateful for Larkspur’s kindness and to everyone who has shared our story or contributed in any way. If you’d like to see how much we’ve raised so far (the cash donations have been added!) or help us spread the word, you can visit our fundraiser link here:

We want to say a big, heartfelt thank you to everyone who sent food and treats our way🎁💛

Once again, this amazing community reminded us that we’re never alone in caring for the Suncatchers. Every bag, every box, every treat means full bellies, happy paws, and peace of mind knowing our shelves are restocked. Around here, food really does equal love and we feel it deeply. Your kindness is what keeps this little sanctuary going🐾😺

Special thanks to Sarah, Danika, Anthony, Chanell, Ramzi, Neil, Scott, and Kelly for making this happen!
