Cat Of The Month

“…Hi!

I’m Messi

I’m a natural hunter and love to play! I can jump and run around my playroom for hours. I also love watching cat TV and solving food puzzles.

Boxes and tunnels—where I can wait to ambush my prey—are my favorites. In general, I love running more than sitting and purring. I don’t like loud sounds and will hide until it’s quiet.

Although I like some cats, I would probably be happier as the only child. I can get carried away when I play, which may be too much for other pets.

I might bite a little, but I’ll give you a funny warning sound first. I’m litter box trained and use a scratcher. I’m up-to-date on vaccinations and spayed. I can live indoors only—no declawing!”

Each month, we highlight a special cat who’s waited the longest for a home. Could you be their perfect match? Meet this month’s featured feline and help make their forever home a reality!

DESERT CATOPIA IS A REGISTERED 501 (C)3 NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION IN CALIFORNIA.

WE RELY ON SPONSORSHIP AND DONATIONS TO KEEP GOING

At Desert Catopia,

we know that finding the perfect feline friend should be an unforgettable experience! That’s why our one-of-a-kind adoption bus roams across the Coachella Valley, making it easier than ever to meet and adopt adorable rescue cats. Whether you’re a lifelong cat lover or looking for your first companion, we’re here to help you find your perfect match.

But we’re not just about convenience — we’re on a mission. By partnering with local rescues and shelters, we help ease overcrowding and give more cats the second chance they deserve. Every adoption opens up space for another cat in need, making a direct impact on our community’s animal welfare.

Where You’ll Find Us

Desert Catopia brings adoptable kitties right to where you are. Keep an eye out for our cozy, cat-filled bus at local farmers’ markets, street fairs, and community events — you never know when you’ll meet your new best friend!

More Than Just a Bus

Desert Catopia isn’t just about adoptions — it’s about building a community of cat lovers. We’re here to educate, advocate, and connect people with rescue cats while promoting responsible pet ownership. Whether you’re stopping by to cuddle a kitten or seriously considering adoption, we welcome you aboard!

So next time you're out enjoying the best of the Coachella Valley, take a moment to visit us. You might just leave with a new four-legged family member!

Adopting? Awesome!

But let’s be real…

We believe in love at first sight, but adoption should not be an impulsive decision. It’s a 15- to 20-year commitment—sharing good times and managing challenges in your own life as well as that of your feline companion. Cats aren’t just pets; they’re family.

If that sounds exciting—welcome to the cat club!

But if the thought of a lifelong cuddle buddy feels overwhelming, it’s okay to wait until the timing is right. Cats aren’t temporary; they’re forever.

Adopt wisely. Love endlessly.
