Star & Mochi’s Family

Star and Mochi live with a wonderful guardian family in Cedar City, Utah, where they are deeply loved as part of a busy and creative household.

Nate and Kamie both work from home as marketing and design professionals, which allows them to spend plenty of time with the cats throughout the day. Their home is filled with activity, laughter, and the energy of their three children, ages 16, 19, and 23, who all still live at home.

The family loves the natural beauty of southern Utah and enjoys experiencing all four seasons in Cedar City. In the winter, they take advantage of nearby mountains for skiing and snowboarding, and when summer arrives, Kamie especially loves heading out on road trips and camping adventures around Utah’s incredible landscapes. The family also enjoys traveling whenever they get the chance, especially to favorite beach destinations like California, Hawaii, and Mexico.

Nate is an avid road and gravel cyclist and often rides more than 100 miles per week during the summer months.

The family shares a love of art, music, and meditation, and Nate and Kamie often play crystal sound bowls during quiet moments. Interestingly, the cats seem to love the calming sounds just as much as the humans do.

Star and Mochi thrive in this peaceful, loving environment where they receive constant attention, affection, and companionship.

Meet Tiffany

Tiffany is one of our newest guardian mamas, and someone I’ve had the joy of getting to know through this journey. We first connected when she adopted Roo, our gorgeous flame point boy from our beloved (and now retired) stud, Boots. Through that process, we discovered a shared passion for cats, and over time, we’ve become good friends.

She lives just up the street with her husband and two children, and they’ve lovingly welcomed our beautiful queen Reese into their home. Roo and Reese are now the sweetest little duo, growing up side-by-side and filling their space with so much joy.

What really stood out to me about Tiffany is how naturally aligned she is with our values, especially when it comes to holistic care and feeding a species appropriate, high-quality diet. She’s truly committed to giving her cats the best start in life, and her heart for them shines in everything she does.

Our guardian program was created for families just like hers, people who offer not just a roof and routine, but real connection, consistency, and love. And in return, they get to be part of the sacred process of birth and kittenhood. It’s such a gift, and I feel so grateful that Reese and Roo are in such thoughtful, nurturing hands, and I love that I get to work with people I trust, who share in the heart of this work. It feels like a true partnership, and I’m so grateful for it.

We’re really happy to have Tiffany and her family as part of the Lil’ Star family. 

Meet Morgan

Morgan and her husband Caleb live in Draper, Utah, with their adorable little boy, Marshall, and their beautiful Siberian girl Sache. Their home is full of love, and a little bit of adventure!

Caleb is an extreme marathon runner, and together they share a love for the outdoors and traveling the world. They are both major cat lovers and are really excited to welcome Sache's first litter (sired by Teddy) of kittens on January 8, which happens to be Morgan's birthday too!

We couldn’t be more excited to have Morgan and Caleb in our Guardian Program, giving these kittens a happy, nurturing start in life.
