Hi there, I’m Leyla! I’m a beautiful calico girl with striking golden eyes and a very sweet, gentle presence. I've had a big week and a bit of a rough start, but I am officially spayed now and recovering beautifully. I am so grateful for the warmth and safety of my caretakers outside, but I'm really looking forward to the day I can finally relax into a forever home!

Hi everyone, I’m Garfield! Just like the cat in the comics, I’m a ginger gentleman who appreciates a good meal and a comfortable place to lounge. I’m a friendly guy who is more than ready to retire from colony life and move into a loving heart. No lasagna is actually required, but a soft couch is an absolute must!

Hi, I’m Tuxy! As you can tell by my dapper black-and-white suit, I’m always dressed to impress. I’m a very friendly guy and a total chatterbox who loves to greet my humans with a loud 'meow' to make sure I’m the center of attention. I’m currently looking for a forever home where I can have someone to talk to. If you want a handsome friend who shares his thoughts, I’m your man!

Hi, I'm Pickle! I got my name because I was caught diving into McDonald’s trash for a snack, I guess I'm a fan of the classics. I’ve since traded the Golden Arches for the luxury of a feeding station and I've turned into a total sweetheart. I’m neutered, super friendly, and ready to find a family that’s as 'lovin' it' as I am. No more dumpster diving for me!

Hallo! I'm Adolfa. I rock a bit of an old-school haircut, but it just suits me so well! I'm all about the quiet life, big yawns, and finding the sunniest spot to nap. I’m a sweet, spayed girl who has decided that the 'retired' life sounds pretty good. Maybe I can "invade" your home and your heart?

Hi, I’m Benji! I’m a big, snuggly, spotted tabby with very soulful eyes that have seen it all. I try to be the peacemaker of the colony and get along with everyone I meet. I reached the stage where I’m ready to trade the Pearl’s sidewalks for a forever home a long time ago. I have a lot of purrs saved up and I'm just waiting for the right person to share them with!

Hello! I’m Flash. I’m a bright ginger boy with a lot of love to give and zero time to waste. I’m not even one year old yet, but I'm always the first one to say hello at feeding time because I have such a curious spirit. I’m looking for an active home where I can 'flash' around and finally have a family to call my own. I'm becoming more and more snuggly every day and would love to cuddle with you!

Hey! I’m Chobby. I’m a handsome, sturdy fellow with classic tabby stripes and a heart as big as my paws. I’m already neutered and I’ve decided that life as a stray is a bit too 'outdoor' for my taste. If you’re looking for a loyal, cuddly companion who is always ready to hang out, I’m your guy!

Pearl Whiskers is a community TNR program for The Pearl Island, caring for feeding stations and colony life across the island.
Our main focus is to keep the colonies healthy and to decrease their size humanely, through TNR and adoption.
TNR stands for Trap, Neuter, Return: the most humane and effective way to manage outdoor cat colonies. Instead of removing cats, which only opens space for new ones to move in, we spay them and put them back on their own territory. Over time the colony naturally shrinks, stays healthier, and stops contributing to overpopulation.
Every cat we TNR is also ear-tipped: a tiny notch in the left ear marks them as already cared for, so they're never accidentally trapped twice.
A trained volunteer identifies a cat that needs sterilization and sets a humane, covered trap to keep the cat calm. Within hours, the cat is on the way to the vet.
The vet sterilizes the cat under anesthesia and adds a small notch to the left ear: the universal 'ear tip' marker that signals this cat has already been TNR'd.
After 24 to 48 hours of recovery, the cat goes back to the exact spot they were trapped. They live their life on familiar territory, with our feeding station and regular volunteer check-ins.
Every spay, every foster, every vet bill brings us closer to a healthier, smaller colony. Whether you can foster a cat, help with trapping, or chip in for vet care, we'd love to hear from you.
Find a familiar face, check who may need a home, or see which cats still need TNR care.

Hi, I'm Cleo. I’m only one year old and I already had four kittens to look after—some might say it was a teenage pregnancy, oops! I was in a foster home with my babies, but now they are old enough for their forever homes, so I went back outside to my colony. I love my independence and have recovered well from surgery. I also started to trust humans more, maybe one day I can put my feral instincts to rest and become an indoor princess.

I’m Nerone, the undisputed boss of this colony. I’m a true feral soul: independent, feisty, and I love to fool humans with a cheeky leg rub before I dart away. I’m definitely not the 'snuggling' type, and I have a wild side that can come out at any moment. I’m a permanent resident here, living life exactly on my own spicy, independent terms!

Salam! I’m Um Basbousa, though my friends call me Big Mama. I’ve spent my life looking after others and raising 4 litters already, but now it’s finally my turn to be pampered. Protecting my babies made me a bit skittish, so I still need some time to warm up to snuggles before I can officially retire on a comfy couch.

Hi there, I’m Calica! I’m a striking calico girl with a coat as unique as my observant personality. Life on the streets has made me quite cautious, so I'm not quite ready for a forever home just yet. For now, I’m happy watching the world go by from a safe distance while I slowly learn to trust that humans can be as kind as they are helpful.
