Meet CommuniKitty: Sharing Our Mission and Vision

Welcome to the CommuniKitty Blog, a place where cat lovers of all kinds—owners, fosters, rescuers, and advocates—come together to share their passion for felines and their commitment to making the world a better place for them. Whether you’re a lifelong cat person or someone who just discovered the joy of having a furry friend, we’re thrilled to have you here.

At CommuniKitty, we believe in the power of connection—not just between humans and cats but also among those who dedicate their time and energy to improving feline lives. Our mission is simple yet profound: to rescue, rehome, and celebrate cats while fostering a supportive, vibrant community of cat enthusiasts.

The Story Behind CommuniKitty

CommuniKitty was born from a deep, personal love for cats and the transformative experiences of rescue and fostering. My journey with cats began in earnest during a unique chapter of my life: living on a houseboat in Sausalito, California, in 2006. It was there that I formed my first meaningful relationship with cats, and they quickly became a source of joy and companionship.

Fast forward to 2020, during the pandemic, I found myself fostering kittens for the first time. Staying at my parents’ house in Los Angeles, I experienced firsthand the challenges and rewards of fostering. From tiny, vulnerable kittens to shy, cautious adults, each cat brought its own story, struggles, and triumphs. That experience not only deepened my love for cats but also opened my eyes to the need for more resources and support for the people dedicating their lives to feline rescue.

In 2022, I moved to Topanga Canyon and began hosting guests through Airbnb while continuing my fostering efforts. These ventures gave me a unique perspective on how to connect people with cats, whether through fostering opportunities, education, or simply sharing the joy that comes with feline companionship. CommuniKitty grew out of these experiences, combining my skills in software development, hospitality, and community-building into a project dedicated to saving and celebrating cats.

Our Mission

At the heart of CommuniKitty is the belief that every cat deserves a chance at a happy, healthy life. We’re here to:

  • Rescue: Helping cats in need by providing resources, fostering opportunities, and raising awareness about rescue efforts.
  • Rehome: Connecting cats with their forever families through education, partnerships, and advocacy.
  • Celebrate: Sharing the joy, humor, and inspiration that cats bring to our lives through stories, art, and community connections.

Our ultimate goal is to create a space where cat lovers, rescuers, and fosters can find support, inspiration, and practical tools to help cats thrive.

Why Community Matters

Rescuing and caring for cats isn’t a solo endeavor—it’s a collective effort. From the rescuers who save strays off the streets to the fosters who open their homes, the adopters who provide loving forever homes, and the advocates who raise awareness, every role is crucial. Yet, these efforts can sometimes feel isolating or overwhelming. That’s why community is at the heart of what we do.

CommuniKitty aims to be a hub where people can share their experiences, learn from one another, and find encouragement in their shared passion. We know the challenges of fostering kittens, the heartbreak of rescue work, and the overwhelming joy of seeing a cat find its family. By sharing these stories and resources, we hope to make the journey a little easier and a lot more fulfilling for everyone involved.

Our Vision for the Future

We envision CommuniKitty as more than just a blog or resource—it’s a movement. In the future, we hope to expand into a non-profit organization dedicated to innovative, community-driven approaches to cat rescue. Imagine fostering programs that pair Airbnb guests with rescue kittens, creating memorable experiences while giving cats a chance at socialization and adoption. Picture a cat café that doubles as a rescue center, bringing people and adoptable cats together in a relaxed, welcoming environment.

These ideas are rooted in the belief that people and cats can enrich each other’s lives in profound ways. By building a platform that supports rescuers, fosters, and cat owners alike, we hope to make these dreams a reality.
