I have been volunteering at Wild Blue since April 2020 and am very proud to be part of this wonderful organization. I knew at 7 years old that I wanted to be a veterinarian. In fact, one of my elementary teachers who is also a family friend, remembers me telling the other children that I…
For as long as I can remember, I’ve lived with cats and have always loved them. The first time I rescued a cat was in 2009. I heard meowing below me after moving into a new apartment and discovered a kitten inside. He had no food, no water and no way out. I was able…
I was looking for something more to occupy my time and I’ve always loved cats. Wild Blue Cats! was a perfect fit. I became a volunteer in Grounds keeping and maintaining the Memorial Gardens and somehow was appointed to lead the team. I also began helping Kerry with his projects in Kaylene’s Kradle and Anstead’s…
I discovered Wild Blue Cats! when a little black stray showed up at my daughter’s bus stop. His chip led back to Wild Blue Cats! and that is when I found my perfect happy place. I started volunteering for Wild Blue Cats! In December 2018. I began as a socializer, then added in Adoption Counselor…

My family moved back to Colorado Springs about a year ago after my husband, Tim, retired from the Coast Guard. We have lived in 9 states together and are so excited to retire here and grow some roots!! I have a daughter who is in college, a son who is in high school and a…
Happy Fall Y’all! One of my favorite things about fall is NFL football – I promise this connects to cats! At the end of the season is the Super Bowl, but more importantly it is also the day that the KITTEN BOWL is played! I’ve been watching the kitten bowl for 7 years and learned…
I started volunteering because I wanted to spend my time helping animals and the community outside of the Academy. I found Wild Blue in September of 2018, and have been working almost every Saturday since. Working with the cats does as much good for me as it does the cats, and I’m excited to continue…
Mya and I started volunteering at Wild Blue to fulfill her National Honor Society requirement. Mya wanted to do something that would benefit animals and we felt this would be the perfect place to dedicate our time. Mya loves to come and snuggle the cats (and always asks to bring one home!) and I love the peace and…
Hi! This is Ella. My Air Force family moved to Colorado last summer. Just before we moved here, our sweet Border Collie/Golden Retriever mix, Teddy, passed away at a ripe old age. After that, my mom, Janelle, and I felt something missing. Animals. I had always had Teddy, and since my mom’s dad is a…
