Catios give cats the joy of the outdoors while keeping them safe from harm. In this post, we share how our own multi-cat family uses a large catio at home, explore different catio options—from Rugged Ranch to Omlet to DIY builds—and offer simple tips to help you create a safe, enriching outdoor space your cats will love.

Our new interactive cruelty-tracking map is a tool built with care, compassion, and community in mind. By verifying every reported incident through veterinarians, animal control, or credible documentation, we’re creating a resource that helps families stay informed — and helps protect the cats who count on us. This early version is just the beginning, but its potential is already powerful. Explore how the map works, why it matters, and how you can help it grow.

Keeping cats indoors protects them from harm — and helps preserve the wildlife around us. Learn why indoor life leads to healthier, happier cats and how a few simple enrichment ideas can keep them curious and content.

When we first shared Jade’s story, we were overwhelmed by the compassion and support that poured in from friends, neighbors, and complete strangers.

So many people reached out to share their own rescue stories, words of encouragement, and even donations to help support our mission. 💚

We wanted to take a moment to give an update on how Jade is doing — and reflect on how her story continues to inspire The Jade Project every single day.
