Meet the team

Not all heroes wear capes, but they do all have cats.
 Community Cat Club is proud to have a dedicated team of animal advocates and experts. 

Sara Sharp

Founder & President
The Community Cat Club was founded in 2021 by Sara Sharp, whose passion for animal welfare and advocacy spans over a decade. Her work focuses on community outreach, neonatal kittens, and complex medical cases. Opening The Cat Lounge represents the next step in her lifelong mission to care for and save as many cats as possible.
