Our Story
Cats Crossing Sanctuary was founded in 1997 by Darcy Swope, who was deeply moved by the plight of cats facing euthanasia in shelters. Named to symbolize their transition from despair to hope, the sanctuary has become a haven for those deemed 'unadoptable'. In 2007, the mission expanded in western Loudoun County, VA, where Darcy also pursued her dream of establishing a creativity-based art school for challenged individuals.
