On a mission to rescue cats and make art
I opened this shop with the goal of making rescuing cats a sustainble job. I wanted a space that acted as a comfortable place for them to express their personalities while waiting to find their forever family. To achieve this, the shop is split into two sections. One half is the gift shop which holds artwork that’s made by either myself or one of my local vendors. On the other half is the cat section. This section is where I keep all the incoming cats and give them the best life I possibly can while they’re here. I try to focus on housing cats that are less commonly found in shelters or take longer to get adopted from traditional rescues. This includes, seniors, cats with disabilities, bonded pairs/groups and “unpopular” coat colors. I think each cat is wonderfully unique and they should all be given a chance at a happy life.

Meet the Vendors!
In addition to my own handmade art, I have a number of local vendors who also sell their own handmade artwork in my shop!
Bat Cat Dreams
Hey there! Im Ayla, the creator behind Bat Cat Dreams. I started this as a way to honor the best little Bat-Cat who left her pawprint on my heart. She was blind as a bat, very spunky, and full of love.
I am a small time fiber artist hoping to make a big time impact in the community. I do this by donating a bit from every single sale to the Friends of Felines community medical fund.
As a life long cat lover, I know first hand how difficult, scary, and stressful unexpected vet bills can be and it is my mission to ease that stress for others in my community.
