🎓 Today I present: Giving the cats of the Meow Lounge Accolades 🎓

04/12/2026

Hi Friends! 🐾

Today is just GORGEOUS! Please make sure you take some time on this lovely Sunday to enjoy being outside. Whether you go for a walk with your pooch, or just sit on the patio and bask, today's the day for it.

Important reminders:
🐾 Its the season of change. If youve been sitting in something thats not settling quite right in you, its time to take action.
🐾 Remember to be easy on yourself. Talk to yourself the way you would your very best friend. No one can do everything and no one is perfect (even if Instragram makes you think otherwise).
🐾 Remember to hydrate, and have a snack if you haven't. Youve been working so hard, you deserve a little treat.

I love and appreciate you and all your support. ❤️ Stay tuned for merch drops and more classes to come! 🧘‍♀️

Namaste friends 🐾

Can't say no to that face. ❤️ Poor Bindi needs her first furever home. Reach out to meet her today!

✨🐾 BINDI HAS ENTERED THE CHAT 🐾✨

Introducing Bindi — tiny, adorable, and already causing just a little bit of chaos in Maine.

This girl recently made it up north after being found on the side of the road with her mama, and now she’s discovering something amazing: blankets, toys, snacks, and humans that adore her.

Current Bindi activities include:
🐾 tiny zoomies around the house
🧸 investigating every toy like a detective
👀 following people around like a little shadow
💤 passing out dramatically after causing mild chaos

She’s sweet, curious, cuddly, and has that perfect puppy mix of “tiny troublemaker” and “angel baby.”

Like seriously…
how is this little face still available??

Someone out there is about to gain a best friend, nap buddy, and professional heart-stealer.

✨ Bindi is in Maine and looking for her forever home.

Warning: adopting Bindi may result in excessive cuteness and zero personal space. 🐾

🐾 HI FRIENDS! ALL 💯 OF YOU!

👀 I see it. Its been there a few days and I know its a small milestone, but I honestly cannot believe that we've hit 100 followers! 💭 I was wondering if I should say something, because I might sound silly to be SO excited about this. But I also would rather be silly and too excited than to seem like I dont care. Because I REALLY do! 😍

Thank you everyone for supporting the beginning of my journey. I cant wait to keep teaches classes 🧘‍♀️ and raising money to help clear the shelters. Im so grateful to be also working for a company who can help me with donation matching, to really help these dollars go as far as possible. 💵

Honestly, I believe from day one when I started this dream project, the universe was giving me EVERY positive sign about it 🌌 I had the perfect person to help me with my merch 🙋🏻‍♀️ My hubby 🤴🏼 was able to generate the perfect logo. My best friend (my biggest supporter tied only with hubs) 👩🏽‍🔬 wore one of my sweatshirts and met an incredible yoga instructor 🧘‍♀️. She introduced me to an amazing studio who loves cats and dogs, and want to help Big Stretch have space for sessions 💓. Ive found the best pooch in the world to share with everyone, and who seriously loves the attention 🐕. I connected with some great shelters who love what im doing, and working with me to help them. I dont think I've ever had a project I was working on where every step of the way I heard "yes, you're where you're supposed to be". And it is amazing.

Im so grateful, it hasn't quite been a year yet but its been worth every single mile 🚘, pile of nerves 😬, playful scratch scars 🐈, and accidental bleached clothes.

Yes, im this excited to write a whole speech on it. Thanks for reading, and thanks for being here with me. ❤️

Hi Friends! 🐾

🗓🚨Friendly Reminder! On Sunday April 12th we are hosting Whiskers & Wellness - a beginner level meditation class surrounded by the sweet sounds of (very adoptable) purrs. 🐈‍⬛

🐈 DID YOU KNOW? 🐈 Cats are considered the most royal animal? 👑 Probably because they perch themselves to specifically look down on their peasants.. Did you also know they are considered the most wise and spiritual 🧘🏻‍♂️ animal? (Dont fact check that).

🏞 Come submerge yourself in the peace of the beautiful and relaxing Meow Lounge 🌅🛋 It is honestly the best place i can think of to be able to host a meditation class and take some time to focus on the 'now'.

Bring your own cozy seat or yoga mat if you please, we'll have extra mats if you forget or dont have something! 🧘🏻‍♂️

Class space is limited, every ticket 🎟 purchase AND all direct donations to the Big Stretch Maine venmo until the end of April will be MATCHED 💯%. Let your dollars go further for Healthcare, food, litter, cleaning supplies, and CATNIP (all the catnip). 🍃

See you all soon ❤️

Namaste friends 🐾
