From Amman, with a future
34 Amman street cats, flying four at a time to foster homes in the US
Lloyd Broughton pulled every one of these cats off the streets of Amman sick or injured and nursed them back to health. He flies them to Washington Dulles four at a time, and 12 are already in the US. The 22 still in Amman need foster-based rescues and help paying for the flights.

Amman to Washington Dulles (IAD), New York (JFK) and Chicago (ORD).
Which 10 cats still need a rescue?
Most of these cats are shy, or have quirks that make them a poor fit for a first-time adopter. Once they trust someone they settle in, but they need a foster who knows cats and an adopter willing to be patient.
Profiles for 3 of them are up so far, and Lloyd is adding the others as each write-up is ready.
Why only foster-based rescues?
These cats do badly in shelters and store adoption cages. A foster home gives a shy cat room to show who it really is. And if an adoption ever falls through, the rescue takes the cat back. A cat adopted straight from Amman would have no one to fall back on, 7,000 miles from the person who saved it.
How can you help?
- Run or volunteer with a foster-based rescue near DC, New York or Chicago? Tell Lloyd how many cats you could take.
- Want to chip in? Every dollar on the GoFundMe goes toward getting the cats to the US: the flights, plus food and vet care while they wait.
- Know someone who should see this? Share a cat's profile with them.
