Before there was a rescue, there was just a cat named Pasha—a house pet loved for who she was. No sanctuary. No mission. Just home.
Then the yard was pruned, and Pasha disappeared. She was never found.
That loss is why Finding Pasha exists. Maritza turned heartbreak into a promise: when the next cat needs someone to say yes, we will.
Today Finding Pasha is an independent 501(c)(3) cat rescue and sanctuary in South Florida. We are not a city shelter and have never received City funding. Food, vet care, medicine, litter, covered shelter, and lifelong care for seniors and special-needs cats come from people like you.
Your gift helps us keep saying yes—and gives cats who may never be adopted a real home.
Please donate, share, or become a monthly supporter.
"When the next desperate call comes, we want to answer, “Yes. We will help.” But sometimes, even with all the love and willingness in the world, our resources fall short. Your generosity helps make sure a cat’s chance at safety doesn’t depend on what we can afford. Please help us keep saying yes"

A Deeper Look into Our Mission at Finding Pasha
The crisis facing cats across America is not simply an animal problem—it is a human responsibility. Too many animals suffer when compassion, planning, and lifelong commitment fall short. Rescues help pick up the pieces, but lasting change must begin with how people treat the animals who depend on them.
Pets are family. Moving, financial hardship, and unexpected life changes can create heartbreaking challenges, especially when affordable, pet-friendly housing is difficult to find. But opening the door and leaving a pet to fend for themselves is never a humane solution. An animal cannot understand, “I can’t afford you anymore.” They still need food, shelter, safety, and someone they can trust.
We believe stronger protections against abandonment, meaningful enforcement, and better education about responsible pet ownership are essential. Families also need access to resources that help them keep their pets—or arrange a safe, responsible transition when keeping them truly becomes impossible. Asking for help is responsible. Abandonment is not.
At Finding Pasha, we rescue, foster, care for, and find homes for vulnerable cats and kittens across South Florida. We help animals facing dangerous street conditions and those at risk in overcrowded shelters, giving them the care and second chance they deserve.
Our volunteers provide loving foster homes while cats heal and prepare for adoption. For seniors, special-needs cats, and those who may never find an adopter, our sanctuary provides something equally important: a safe place to belong, with ongoing care and love.
Our work includes bottle-feeding orphaned kittens, caring for mothers and their litters, helping frightened cats learn to trust, and supporting animals recovering from illness or injury. Each cat deserves care that recognizes their individual needs—not a deadline on their chance at a better life.
Whenever adoption is possible, we seek families who understand that bringing home a pet is a lifelong commitment. Animals are not disposable when circumstances change. They are family members whose lives depend on our choices.
Your support helps us care for the cats who need us today and advocate for a more compassionate tomorrow. Together, we can do more than rescue animals from abandonment—we can help prevent it.
