My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Are you looking for a loving, low-maintenance new friend? Jessie is a sweet-natured girl who rarely makes a peep… until the food comes out. Then you’ll get to hear her adorable high-pitched squeal. No, that’s not a kitten. It’s a full-grown cat who loves wet food.

Jessie spends most of her day luxuriating on the coziest perches she can find, which includes your lap when it’s available. She’s not one to constantly seek out attention, but she has her moments, rubbing around your legs or begging for pets, and she’ll graciously accept pets anytime.

Jessie is great with other cats and is quick to snuggle with them. She thinks every cat is her friend. She’s comfortable around dogs too, but mostly just ignores them. Jessie would probably do best in a home with at least one other cat.

Jessie’s toxic trait is that she hates being picked up. When you try to pick her up, she is 99% sure you’re going to murder her, even if she was snuggling in your lap one second earlier. This makes getting her into a cat carrier a little challenging. The trick is to scruff her neck like the alpha / mom cat you are and shove her into the carrier before she has time to protest.

Overall, Jessie is a very sweet girl with a lot of love to give. She’s looking for a calm home with a patient adopter who will give her time to acclimate on her own terms. She’s worth the wait!

More about this rescue

A Winning Team

We are a small group of animal lovers who are working together to help facilitate Trap Neuter Release and medical care for animals in need. We are here to help each other help the animals and to partner with businesses, rescues and groups to make the biggest impact.

Our History

Mia (known as “Murderous Mia”) is a rescue cat who came to her mom as a hospice foster with many medical issues. She has overcome a lot of health concerns and in her journey, met a lot of human pals (many of whom are a little frightened of her angsty 4 pd person). She and her pals decided that they wanted to help animals in need. So a group of her people joined together to help do Trap Neuter Release (TNR) to lessen the population and suffering of animals and help cover costs of care for animals in need (dogs, cats, birds... Mia insists on not being specist). She invites all those who want to find a way to help to join her mafia. Her only rules are: 1. the animals come first 2. everyone supports each other and 3. no drama remain calm. The goal is to have fun while we all work together to make life better for the ones we can help.

Animals Are Our Mission

We focus on keeping things positive and supporting each other so that we can be at our best to do the most good for the animals. We strive to collaborate with others and encourage our team to come up with new and better ideas of ways to help and to run with those ideas.
