Who we are

Kittens of Light was born out of love—for cats, for art, and for the healing power of beauty. Over the years, we’ve rescued and cared for street cats, each one becoming a little messenger of light in our home. This project carries that same spirit into design: thoughtful creations that combine art, spirituality, and playfulness. From wearable expressions of joy to prints for the home, our work invites you to live with symbols of love and connection all around you. Every product is a reminder that compassion is strength, and beauty is an act of care.

Paw It Forward Program

What It Is

The Paw It Forward Program is the heart of Kittens of Light. Every purchase you make helps bring light and love to rescued animals. A portion of each sale is set aside in a dedicated Paw It Forward Fund, which is used to support animal shelters and rescue organizations.

Our vision is to build a community of compassion where creativity, commerce, and care for animals come together.

How It Works

Step 1: You Shop
Every product you purchase contributes to the Paw It Forward Fund.
Step 2: We Give
At the end of each quarter, we publish a clear report showing exactly how much was raised and where it went.
Step 3: Shelters Receive Support
Funds are donated directly to trusted animal shelters and rescue organizations, starting locally and expanding across the country.

Our Commitment to Transparency

We believe giving should always be clear, accountable, and open. That’s why we:

Post quarterly donation reports on this page.
Share stories and updates from the shelters we support.
Allow our community to nominate shelters in need.

This way, you’ll always know where your contributions go, and you’ll see the impact they’re making in real lives—both human and animal.

Our Dream

Right now, we’re beginning with our own community—helping local shelters in New Mexico. As the program grows, our dream is to expand support to shelters and rescues all across the United States. Eventually, we hope to build partnerships with a network of organizations, so that every cat and kitten can live with dignity, safety, and light.

Get Involved

Shop any product in the store—every purchase helps.
Nominate a shelter in your city.
Share the mission with friends who love animals.

Together, we can Paw It Forward and build a brighter, kinder world.

We are proud to announce our new partnership with Street Cat HUB, a leading nonprofit dedicated to the compassionate care and rescue of cats in Albuquerque.

This collaboration will shine a brighter light on the plight of vulnerable cats while celebrating them through whimsical, heartfelt art. With Street Cat HUB’s approval, Kittens of Light is now proudly displaying their logo on its website and promotional materials, reflecting a shared mission of compassion and community care.

Street Cat HUB provides vital services to Albuquerque’s cats, including spay/neuter programs, rescue operations, and ongoing support for feral and abandoned cats. Their life-saving work inspired Kittens of Light, and their recognition of the project’s art and merchandise — including a line of T-shirts they enthusiastically endorsed — marks the beginning of a meaningful partnership.
