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…
I started volunteering at Wild Blue October 2017. I am at the sanctuary 3 or 4 times a week and in addition to being in the sanctuary I’m helping Mike build Kaylene’s Kradle. I was raised on a farm that had dairy cattle so there were always cats around. I was always trying to sneak…
I’ve been volunteering at Animal Rescues and Shelters for over 35 years and have always felt that I get so much more in return than I give. The experience has made me (I hope) a better person. When we relocated to the Colorado Springs area in November 2018, along with our two senior foster failures,…

Hi there! My name is Tiffany, my son Trent and I have been volunteering at Wild Blue Cats for over a year now. Last year at school Trent was required to complete 8 hours of volunteer work for a class he was taking. He decided to apply at Wild Blue. We had adopted our two…
Scott Trimboli is the lucky husband of Wild Blue Cats founder Lauri Cross and never knew a cat before meeting Lauri. Now he knows many. Scott spent much of his life as an Air Force officer retiring in 2000 after a 20-year career as an engineer and educator, including two wonderful tours on the faculty…
I am known as the Cat Whisperer here at Wild Blue Cats! and started volunteering back in January 2018. Immediately I fell in love with all the unique kitties, especially the scared, shy, more difficult cats that have gone through a traumatic past and need much needed love, patience, and kindness for them to recover…
