WeCo Wall Cat

Hello, I am the WeCo Wall Cat. I am a community cat in West Covina, California. I often hang out in local flowerbeds, bringing joy to all those who pass by. I get regular meals from friendly humans that feed me and other neighborhood strays. As a community cat I do my part in keeping the rodent population under control. If you should ever encounter me or any other stray, please treat us with respect and kindness. Life can be difficult for those of us who live on the streets. A little bit of mercy toward us can go a long way.

The Cat Joy Project was conceived in late 2024 when I found myself feeling overwhelmed by a sense of doom and gloom. I needed to refocus my attention. And so the idea of creating quilted cat squares as a way to share my love of cats, walking, and Los Angeles was born. After spending the latter part of 2024 and the first month of 2025 teaching myself to sew, the project is now ready to be launched. The hand sewn quilted squares will be released on my walking routes for someone to find. Each square represents a cat that I have encountered either on one of my walks or at some other point in my life. Every cat has a story. You can read their stories here. If you find a cat square, you may keep it or relocate it to be found again. I hope this small gesture will bring some joy and happiness to those who find the cats and those who follow their stories.
