Demonstrating our love for cats, one meal at a time.
Shaping Soles has donated over 5,875 meals to homeless cats, as of September 2025.
On December 10th, 2023, Chris and Caty adopted a beautiful kitty named Skyee from Here Today Adopted Tomorrow in Brimfield, MA. Skyee was labeled a “spirit cat,” and was originally surrendered to Dakin Humane Society several months before.
She was adopted from Dakin, but then shortly after surrendered once again to the shelter in Brimfield. With such a loving and innocent face, we pondered why. “Spirit cats,” by definition are “very shy adult cats who struggle with changes in their lives and environment. They'll often need more time than the average cat to settle in.”
Upon an hour or so after adopting Skyee, mixed in with some crying on the way home in her crate (that she now dreads going to the vet in), we quickly learned she wasn’t a spirit cat. She just needed love.
She has inspired us to try our very best to advocate for cats in our area (as well as kitties across the globe in Belarus), and for people to understand that cats are delicate, loving animals that need love and patience. With that being said, as loving cat owners, we have dedicated ourselves to donating meals, litter, toys, supplements, blankets, and more for cats.
Have a look at some of the items we’ve donated to our cat donation partners, who are listed below!

Every cat deserves food, shelter, safety, and lots of love.
Chris even brought his passion for helping cats into his professional career, organizing and hosting a workshop at A.W. Brown’s Pet & Garden to build shelters for feral cats in January 2025. The event churned out 24 homes for cats!

Helping cats find their forever homes.
In 2026, Chris expanded his volunteer work through the Enfield Community Cat Project, leading marketing and social media for the rescue. He turns updates from foster families into adoption posts, creates and maintains Petfinder listings, and shares each cat’s personality, story, and needs with potential adopters.
It’s another way to help—giving cats waiting for homes the visibility they deserve and helping their stories reach someone ready to love them.
