The Jade Paw Project

What is the Jade Paw Project?

The Jade Paw Project is simple: we upcycle ceramic cat figurines by painting them green, and then sell them to animal lovers like you. Then, we take the proceeds and donate them to animal rescue organizations in the US.

About us

The Jade Paw Project was born in June 2015, when a friend and I realized how bummed we were that the Teal Cat Project was no longer around, and how many cats still needed our help. I’ve definitely got a soft spot for special needs pets. I believe that all lives matter, and fight animal cruelty with all my might. With 4 rescued cats, including 2 special needs cats and 1 survivor of animal abuse, I know how much these animals appreciate their humans, and I wanted to do more. I can’t adopt them all myself, but I can help animal rescue organizations find homes for as many of these awesome animals as possible.

For each Jade Paw Project campaign, my friends and I will gather as many cat figurines as possible and upcycle them by painting them green. Then, I’ll sell them until they’re gone! Each campaign will feature a different animal rescue organization, and all proceeds from the campaign will be donated to that organization.

We can definitely use your help! Please consider donating cat figurines to the Jade Paw Project.
