My story

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

I got my name because my foster mom thinks the polka dots on my back are pretty cool! I am an adventurous kitty, and I am growing even more in personality every day! I didn't like being held when I was little, but I've been more fond of it lately. I am very playful and love my toys! I have super cool eyes but they are pretty sensitive because I get really squinty if you turn the lights on too fast in the morning. My foster mom thinks it's adorable because I act like a teenager trying to get up for school in the morning. I am very curious and I will sit and watch as you clean my litterbox or get my food ready. As you can see from my pictures, I've been known to explore a dishwasher if you don't close it quickly enough! I really love my mama (Debby) and my sister (Zelda) so I included a pic of us hanging out in the hopes that you may adopt us together! I've been training a little bit with a harness and I love to go around the neighborhood in a kitty stroller with the fam! I like kids if they don't make too many loud noises, but I've gotten used to vacuums and household noises. I can also be happy if you pair me up with a different kitty outside of my family, but be patient with me because I hiss with new kitties until I figure out that they won't eat me. And if I somehow end up alone, I can just perfect my tail chasing races. I'm getting pretty good already! If you really want to splurge, I also love running on the oversized exercise wheel and if you train me more on it I will entertain you for hours!

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.
