💚 Welcome to Jade’s Journal

At The Jade Project, every story we share is part of a bigger mission — to raise awareness, promote compassion, and help prevent cruelty toward cats.

Here you’ll find updates about Jade’s recovery, community education, and new resources that support humane prevention and kindness.

We believe that small stories create big change — thank you for being part of that change. 💚

Mapping Compassion: Why Tracking Cat Cruelty Matters — and How Our Community Can Help

Our new interactive cruelty-tracking map is a tool built with care, compassion, and community in mind.

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.
