We’re a small cat sanctuary on a big mission — and we need a little help from the highway heroes who know the road better than anyone.

We’re Cat Mama’s Sanctuary — a nonprofit that gives lifelong care to homeless, feral, and abandoned cats who’ve been failed by the system. But right now, we’re the ones who need saving.
After relocating the sanctuary from Arizona to West Virginia last year to be closer to family, it’s become painfully clear this isn’t the right environment for our cats. We’ve faced devastating losses, stress and depression among the cats, and recently discovered mold in our home that may be impacting their health. These are desert cats at heart — and they need to go home.
Why We’re Reaching Out to You
Truckers know what it means to go the distance. To show up when no one else will. To carry precious cargo across thousands of miles — not because it’s easy, but because it matters.
You’ve driven through every kind of weather, terrain, and challenge to make it to the next stop. That’s what we’re doing too — only instead of cargo, we’ve got 50 lives depending on us. They’ve been through storms, streets, and suffering. Now they need safe passage — back to the place they once thrived.
This is the haul of a lifetime. And with your help, we can make it.
We’re not asking you to drive them. We’re asking you to back them — with $50 of fuel for their future.
This isn’t just a donation. It’s a declaration. That truckers don’t just move freight — they move hope. That when animals need a lifeline, truckers show up — proud, quiet, strong.
If 1,000 truckers give $50, this move becomes possible. If you believe in second chances…If you’ve ever had an animal trust you when the world didn’t…If you know what it means to carry something fragile and important —Then this mission might be yours too.
Our Goal: $50,000 to Get Back to Arizona
We’ve found the perfect property: half an acre of sunshine, space, and serenity in Arizona where our cats once thrived. But moving a sanctuary with 50+ cats is no small haul.
We need to raise at least $50,000 to cover:
Down payment on the new property
RV rental and fuel for cross-country transport
Crates, carriers, and moving truck costs
Outdoor cat fencing and trailers for safe shelter
Enrichment spaces like play structures and shaded catios
Will you be one of the 1,000?
Let’s show what truckers are made of. If you feel called to help, please consider donating, sharing this with your network, or even sending a prayer for a safe journey and a fresh start.

From the Road to the Rescue
We may be miles apart, but this mission is one we can take together.
With your help, we’ll make it back to Arizona — and give our cats the safe, sunny home they deserve.
Thank you for riding with us. Maybe we'll see you on the road.
