🌺🐾 Two Years Later 🐾🌺

Two years ago, Cat Care Durango traveled to Maui to help rescue 12 cats displaced by the Lahaina fires — an experience that changed us forever.

From time spent at the Lanai Cat Sanctuary, to learning from Maui Humane Society, to connecting with Cat Café Maui, we were surrounded by compassion, innovation, and a shared mission to do better for cats.

Today, 8 of those cats are in loving homes, 2 are still with us, and 2 have since crossed the rainbow bridge — each one leaving a lasting mark on our hearts.

This trip was unforgettable, humbling, and deeply inspiring. Witnessing the impact of the fires and the strength of the animals and community was incredible to witness. The connections we made and the things we learned have helped guide the future of Cat Care Durango every single day.

We carry Maui with us in all that we do. And we’re just getting started. 💚🐱

Thank you for all the work you do to help these sweet kitties 😻

Mudgie & Mokie — Urgent Home Needed 🐾

These two sweet grey tabby brothers have been together their entire lives. After recently losing their mom, they are leaning on each other now more than ever for comfort and security.

Mudgie (lighter grey) and Mokie (darker grey) are incredibly loving boys—gentle, deeply bonded, and the kind of cats who simply want to be close to their people and each other.

Mudgie has tested low positive for Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV), while Mokie is negative. A low positive result means that although the virus is present, Mudgie’s immune system is strong and actively fighting it. Many cats in this category go on to live full, happy, and healthy lives.

Mokie is being vaccinated, and we are committed to keeping these brothers together—they have already lost so much, and we won’t let them lose each other too. While there is still a small risk of FeLV transmission, we believe their bond and emotional wellbeing make keeping them together the most compassionate choice.

They are looking for:
• A home with no other cats
• Indoor-only living
• A compassionate adopter open to loving a FeLV+ kitty and his devoted brother

Unfortunately, they are not able to remain in our free-roam facility, which makes finding them a safe and loving home especially urgent. It’s heartbreaking, because they deserve so much more space, comfort, and stability than we can provide right now.

Mudgie doesn’t know he’s any different—he’s happy, affectionate, and full of life. And Mokie is right there by his side, every step of the way.

If you’ve ever considered opening your home to a special pair, this is your moment.

Please reach out if you can help—and even sharing their story could be the reason they find the home they deserve. 💛

🐾🧡 Rusty & Rosie🧡🐾

Rusty and Rosie are about a year old, long-haired orange tabbies who were born outside and brought in by someone who found them on their property last year.

🏡 Their ideal home:
A safe indoor/outdoor or barn environment where they can have shelter, consistency, and a caregiver who is patient and willing to give them time to settle in at their own pace. With the right setup, they can thrive while continuing to build confidence.

These two aren’t the typical “lap cat” companions — and that’s okay. They’re looking for a special kind of home that understands them for who they are.

If you or someone you know has a barn, shop, or indoor/outdoor setup and a big heart for cats like Rusty and Rosie, please reach out to us. 🐈🐈

J-Lo’s adoption fee is sponsored! 💗
This sweet girl was heartbreakingly left behind when her family moved away, but she is still a total lover who just wants to be close to her person.

Right now, J-Lo is overwhelmed in our space and spends most of her time hiding but when she gets one-on-one attention, she melts into the most affectionate, trusting kitty.

She truly needs a quiet home where she can feel safe, loved, and never left behind again.

If you’ve been looking for a gentle, loving companion, J-Lo is waiting. Please share to help her find her person 💕

Meet Teddy.
This handsome guy came to us from the Mancos/Cortez area and is about 2 years old. With his striking markings, tufted ears, and big blue eyes, Teddy has a wild, bobcat-like look that’s hard to miss.

Teddy is still settling into our space, and as we’ve gotten to know him better, we’ve seen that he’s a confident, independent boy who likes to do things on his own terms. He enjoys attention and has the cutest little meow and chirp, but he’s not afraid to let other cats know when he wants his space.

Because of this, Teddy would do best as the only cat in the home. He’s also shown some territorial behaviors, so he’ll need an environment that gives him room to roam and decompress. An indoor/outdoor home or a setting with safe outdoor access would likely suit him best and help him thrive.

Teddy isn’t for everyone—but for the right person who understands independent, spirited cats, he has the potential to be a truly special companion.

Bridget’s been side-eyeing the cat wheel since 2023… and she’s finally given in!
Yes! We have a small number of cats really do use it. And now Bridget is proof 😸

🐾 Trap–Neuter–Return (TNR) in Action 🐾

We recently completed another TNR project, and it’s a great reminder of how important this work is for our community cats.

TNR (Trap–Neuter–Return) is the most humane and effective way to manage outdoor cat populations. Cats are humanely trapped, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and then returned to the area they call home. This prevents future litters, improves the cats’ health, and helps decrease the amount of homeless kitties in our community.

What many people don’t realize is that TNR takes a lot of coordination, time, and resources. From trapping and transportation to veterinary care and recovery, it’s a team effort from start to finish.

We don’t have dedicated funding for TNR, but when a property owner is able to contribute toward the cost, or when funding becomes available, we’re always happy to help make these projects happen.

We are incredibly grateful to work with Dogster’s Spay & Neuter Program (DSNIP) , whose support makes these efforts possible and helps ensure community cats receive the care they deserve. 🐈‍⬛🐈

Want to support future TNR projects? You can dedicate a donation toward TNR here:

TNR truly makes a difference — for the cats and for the community. 💕

💛 Java Update 💛

We wanted to send a huge Thank you to everyone who has donated toward Java’s medical care. Your support means everything to us and her💗

We’re still working to find the right treatment for her GI issues, but the good news is — she’s growing, gaining weight, and full of energy!

She continues to be the sweet little love bug, and we’re so grateful to have a community that continues to stand behind her.

Thank you for helping our little Java. 🐾💛

🐾✨ Our Sanctuary Queens ✨🐾

Owl (18), Buddha (17), Lahaina (16), MaiMai (15), BooBoo (14), Charlotte (14), Alice (13), Mitzi (13), Bridget (13), JLo (13), and Plumeria (11).

These ladies are the heart of Cat Care Durango.

Since moving into our new facility, our senior girls have truly blossomed. With cozy rooms, sunny windows, and peaceful spaces away from the younger crowd, we’ve witnessed incredible transformations — especially Owl, who now lounges in laps, plays, and confidently struts around like she owns the place. (Because she does.) ☀️

Each of these queens has her own personality, her own story, and her own pace. Some will live out their golden years right here with us. Others may still be waiting for the right person to see just how special a senior cat can be.

And thanks to a generous supporter, BooBoo’s adoption fee has been lovingly covered — she’s ready whenever her perfect match walks through the door. 💚

Senior cats love deeply, settle in beautifully, and bring a calm, steady kind of companionship that is truly unmatched.

While space limits how many seniors we can take in, what we can promise is this: every single one is cherished beyond measure.

Senior cats are something special. And these ladies? They’re royalty. 👑🐱
