Louisiana Cats Fly to New Jersey on Halloween Rescue Flight
On October 13, 2026, a special flight called the Escape on the 13th Rescue Flight carried 36 shelter cats from Louisiana to New Jersey. The trip was made possible by the generosity of iHeartCats Hero VIP Club members and a partnership with Greater Good Charities, giving the animals a chance to leave overcrowded shelters and find new homes.
Among the passengers was Nugget, a five-month-old white and gray tabby kitten from Jefferson Protection and Animal Welfare Society. Nugget is known for his outgoing personality and social nature with other cats. He boarded the flight and arrived at St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center in New Jersey, where he hopes to find a loving family.
The rescue flight not only gave these cats a fresh start but also created space in their original shelters, allowing rescue teams to continue helping other vulnerable animals.
