Our Story

Lisa Berberette and her husband Jack are the heartwarming duo behind a creative and compassionate mission. Their journey began with a small group of 15 felines, which grew significantly when they rescued an additional 50 cats from an unfortunate fate. Through their dedication, Happy Cat Stitchery now provides a forever home to 27 cats and two small pups, each with their own unique story and challenges. Their vision extends beyond the present, aiming to downsize personal belongings and establish a nonprofit sanctuary for their feline friends. Their efforts are fueled by the generosity of supporters who contribute through various means, ensuring that every animal enjoys a life filled with care and love. Lisa and Jack's story is a testament to the power of love and the impact a small group of dedicated individuals can have on the lives of many. Their future plans promise a haven for cats and an inspiring example of kindness in action as Happy Cat Stitchery & Sanctuary. The Happy Cat Herd is not just a group of rescued animals; it's a symbol of hope and the relentless spirit of two people committed to making a difference, one stitch and one cat at a time.
