Support our mission to rescue, care for, and provide loving homes to cats in need.

Our Mission

At Sydney's Sanctuary, our mission is to provide a safe, nurturing, cage-free haven for homeless, abandoned, and shelter rescue cats where they can receive cozy lifelong care, compassion, and protection. We aim to create a loving environment where these cats can thrive and find their forever homes, with the support of donors and fundraising efforts to continue our mission of animal rescue and care.

Our Vision

To create a lasting refuge where every cat has a chance for a peaceful, dignified life. Through community partnerships, outreach, and future mobile services, we envision a network of care that brings safety, support, and adoption opportunities to cats in need.

About us

Sydney’s Sanctuary began with a lifelong love for animals and a heart for rescuing those in need. As a flight attendant, I often missed the companionship of a furry friend, until my husband, Alex, brought home a sweet, white bundle of joy we named Sydney. Trips to pet stores tugged at my heart as I saw cats waiting behind plexiglass, which sparked a curiosity about what happened to those who weren’t adopted, especially older cats. After years of volunteering and discovering the need for more foster centers, Sydney’s Sanctuary was born. We’re dedicated to providing a safe haven for cats, educating others on their true, misunderstood nature, and ultimately establishing a permanent sanctuary to give even more animals a second chance. Thank you for being part of our journey to create a brighter future for these incredible creatures.

Sydney’s Sanctuary gave me the joy of adopting my sweet cat, Luna. She had been overlooked for months because of her age, but here she was treated with such love and care until we found each other. I can’t thank them enough for giving her and me a second chance at happiness.

Not only is Sydney’s Sanctuary a beautiful and whimsical to spend some time and have tea, it’s amazing to see the cats as they truly ARE. You get to watch each one’s personality emerge while they’re given free reign in a purr-fectly tailored space for them.
