OUR PURRRRPOSE
Helping claw back democracy on your own or just in front of a screen is hard, confusing & lonely. Join CLFA in person or online instead!
We’re your fun aunts here to help you embrace your inner alley cat to defend our rights and way of life from fat cat billionaires and their lap dogs.
You’ll participate in our own cool events and projects, while learning vital information about the issues in our local communities together.
We’ll team up to participate in larger purposeful community aid & pro democracy actions, while making new and meaningful real life connections with each other.
So join the Resistance, and bring your cat.
HISSIN' STATEMENT
We’re building a nationwide Catriarchy where house kitties like you can kick off your collar, sharpen your claws, and discover the power, cuteness, and cunning you didn’t even know you had—all while watching out for each other in the cat lady crew.
To herd our cats, we organize around three pillars:
- Community
Building hyper local paws-itive connections with CLFA members and community need organizations - not through cat fights & purrr-ity tests - then amplifying those online
- Cativism
Partnering with local activist groups, showing up to support their work, and leading at least one key project of our own. We focus on efforts that aren’t just about politics, but about helping people directly.
- Cattiness
Mess with the cat and you’ll get the claws. We’re always peaceful, but also funny, sassy, nimble, strategic, and unwilling to bow down to bullies.
Because “cat lady” is a state of mind, our clowder includes cat ladies, cat daddies, cat folks, and our un-catted allies who vibe with us.

Yes absolutely! Cat lady is a state of mind.
Yes! We welcome cat ladies of all genders.
We’re just like you, grassroots supporters who want to do everything we can in this moment to protect democracy and elevate organizations, leaders, actions, policies and candidates who will fight for and with us through peaceful - if sassy - protest and mobilization. We are not a PAC.
We do that using what we know best: comedy, cats and cajoling.
A lady never tells.
Cat Ladies for America’s Founder had never in any way worked in politics or on a campaign when she accidentally & impulsively launched her grassroots organization on July 21, 2024 - the day President Joe Biden announced that he would drop out of the 2024 Presidential race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris.
Initially just a social media account named Cat Ladies for Kamala, things escalated quickly. Just two weeks later, on August 4th, its online fundsraiser event had 35,000 live viewers and raised over $320,000 for the Harris-Walz 2024 campaign in one night, which would grow to over $400,000 and include donations for down ballot candidates by Election Day 2024. Its work has been featured by media including MSNBC, The Advocate, and The Washington Post.
As of June 2025, Cat Ladies for America has grown to 160,000-ish social media followers, 30,000 email subscribers, has just launched a thriving free community on discord, and since late February 2025 has sprung 20 local chapters across the country and growing - focused on Equal Rights and Fascism Fights.
