My story

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

In the quiet shadows of your home, Kelli will observe, her striking tortoiseshell coat blending with the dim corners, watching and waiting. Once part of a feral colony, Kelli carries no wildness in her, only the hesitations of a cat who's seen too much of the outside world. At about 1.5 years old, she moves silently, a quiet presence that asks for little yet offers much—if you earn her trust. She's not one to rush to your side, but with patience and understanding, you'll see her delicate curiosity unfold. The flash of a toy will draw her in, and the rustle of treats will coax her out from her favorite hiding spots. Her gentle purr is a rare and quiet reward, shared only with those who prove worthy. Pet her too soon, and she may retreat, but give her time, and she’ll seek the comfort of your hand. Kelli is meant for indoor life, where safety surrounds her and the chaos of the outside world is nothing but a distant memory. Declawing is prohibited by contract, ensuring her paws remain as nature intended. She waits for the one who can understand her, who will welcome her into their heart with the patience she needs. Could that be you?November 2, 2024, 2:43 pm

More about this rescue

Who do we serve?

The Cenla Cat Project (CCP) serves the central Louisiana region (Cenla) residents and homeless felines.

Why are we needed?

There are several humane societies in the Cenla area, but none of them emphasize the feline population. We will work with the homeless feline population, as well as cats that are owned and unaltered. These unaltered feline perpetuate the exponential growth of the feline population. Residents complain about free roaming cats. The government response is to trap and kill these homeless cats.

An organization is needed for the following reasons:
*To educate people about the importance of sterilization of the cats and help them to realize that Trap Neuter Release (TNR) of feral colonies can be an asset (ie. rodent control, etc.) to the community.
*To place socialized cats into homes through adoption.
*To place feral felines as “barn” cats in rural / industrial areas or with the cooperation of the human community return to community colonies.
*To assist people in having felines altered and feline maintenance.
*To educate young people in the care of felines and the importance of sterilization.

What is our mission?

CCP's mission is to be part of the solution of feline overpopulation and homelessness in Cenla. Our goal is to reduce the feline overpopulation and homelessness in central Louisiana by rescuing homeless felines and providing sterilization, medical care and adoption services. It is also our goal to serve the residents of Cenla by providing humane education about feline care and encouraging the sterilization of their homed felines.

What are our programs?

Programs include feline adoption, education on care and importance of population control, working with communities / neighborhoods to setup TNR programs.

Who do we work with?

*Local veterinarians and low cost sterilization clinics
*Volunteer fosters
*Local Future Farmers of America and 4-H members
*Local governmental animal shelter

What resources do we need?

*Veterinary partners to alter, administer rabies and assist with providing health care to sick and injured cats
*Volunteers to foster, transport cats to Veterinary appointments, assist/run adoption events
*Support of the community with donations of money, food, cleaning supplies, etc.
*Local news media to promote the mission of CCP
*Social Media

What do we want to accomplish?

*Reduce the number of homeless cats and shelter cats without the use of euthanasia, through sterilization and adoption placement.
*Create a cat adoption center where a community member may come to interact with cats and adopt.
*Assist the community with low cost sterilization of their cats.
*Encourage and assist the community members to responsibly re-home unwanted cats and kittens rather than releasing them to the outdoors.
