The house that I’m moving into… literally came with a cat!

Julia A. Davis on TikTok ~ May 31st, 2022

When Julia A. Davis (TikTok.com/@julia_adavis) moved to a new house, she stumbled upon an abandoned pet in her backyard chicken coop. Little did she know that this discovery would result in a household of four cats, a dog, and a community of over 950,000 animal lovers.

Julia has now become an enthusiastic animal welfare advocate, leading campaigns, raising awareness about pet health needs, and preventing illnesses.

The Coop Kitty Community has raised considerable money and donated food, medicine, supplies, and toys to animal shelters and organizations. Julia received the Cheer Choice Award in 2023 for her positive impact on animal advocacy in the community.
