It all started with one cat.

When I moved to Mesa, Arizona in 2019, I met a friendly tortoiseshell cat on a bike ride and named her Harriet. She began visiting me every day and, before long, she seemed to have invited all her feline friends in the neighborhood. What started as one cat quickly grew into a colony of feral and stray cats that I came to know, name and love.

As I learned more about caring for community cats, I discovered TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return) and began helping reduce the number of homeless kittens while improving the lives of the cats already out there. Along the way, I faced challenges, including raising money for a cat with severe stomatitis who needed extensive dental care. Selling my handmade soaps and art helped cover her treatment and today she happily rules our home.

That experience inspired me to dedicate proceeds from my soap and art sales to supporting feral and stray cats through food, TNR and medical care. These cats didn’t choose life on the streets, but they deserve kindness, compassion and the chance to feel safe and cared for.

I believe even small acts of love can make a difference. Together, we can help improve the lives of community cats, one cat at a time.

Support Ranilla’s Rescue!

I met the founder of this rescue several years ago and you couldn’t ask to meet a more genuine person who goes out of her way to help feral and stray cats! She has helped me countless times and has shared her knowledge so that I can better help my herd so they thrive!

Ranilla’s Rescue is a cat focused, foster based rescue, assisting the community with special situations regarding at risk cats and kittens. In addition, they work with the community on TNR (trap, neuter and return) to help control overpopulation of free roaming cats and kittens, as well as placing adoptable cats and kittens into loving homes. Ranilla’s Rescue also works to facilitate medical treatment and aftercare for Ill or injured cats and kittens. 100% of donations are applied to the care and management of the animals.
