Questions and answers
The cats go only to foster-based rescues. Find answers here about placements, flights, donations and contacting Lloyd.
What is Operation Jordan Catlift?
It is Lloyd Broughton's effort to fly 30 cats he rescued off the streets of Amman, Jordan to foster-based rescues in the United States. Every cat came in sick or injured and was nursed back to health before being listed here.
Can I adopt one of the cats directly from Lloyd?
No. Every cat goes to a foster-based rescue, and adoptions happen through that rescue. If an adoption ever falls through, the rescue takes the cat back. A direct adoption has no safety net when the cat is 7,000 miles from Amman. If you want to adopt, ask the rescue listed on that cat's profile.
Why foster-based rescues only?
These cats do poorly in shelters and in store adoption cages. A foster home lets a shy cat settle in, show its real personality and meet adopters in a calm setting.
Where will the cats land?
Amman has direct flights to Washington Dulles (IAD), New York JFK and Chicago O'Hare (ORD), so partner rescues near those 3 airports are the best fit.
How many cats still need a rescue?
Of the 30 cats, about 20 have a rescue or foster lined up. About 10 still need one. Those 10 are shy or have personality quirks that make them a poor fit for a first-time adopter, and they need experienced cat people.
What do the donations pay for?
Donations go through GoFundMe and help cover the cost of flying the cats from Amman to the United States.
I run a rescue. How do I offer to take a cat?
Use the form on the rescue partners page, email helplloydscats@gmail.com, or message Lloyd on WhatsApp at +962 79 686 0373. Say which airport you are near and how many cats you could foster.
How can I help without donating?
Share a cat's profile, follow the YouTube channel and Instagram, and pass this site to anyone you know who runs or volunteers with a foster-based cat rescue near DC, New York or Chicago.
