PUPS On a Mission Magazine: Autumn Leaves 2026 Is Here!

Crisp air, golden light, and a whole lot of heart—our newest issue of PUPS On a Mission Magazine is officially out, and it’s packed with the stories, updates, and inspiration that keep our mission moving forward.

This issue, Autumn Leaves 2026, celebrates the season of community: the people who show up, the animals who change us, and the moments that remind us why rescue work matters. From kitten season realities to volunteer spotlights and auction excitement, this edition is both a beautiful read and a meaningful way to stay connected to Pets Uniting People Society (PUPS).

On the cover: On a Mission

Our cover captures the spirit of this issue—joy, connection, and the simple truth that animals bring people together. It’s a warm welcome into an edition filled with real stories, real impact, and real ways you can be part of it.

What’s Inside This Issue

Here’s a peek at what you’ll find in Autumn Leaves 2026—and why you’ll want to read it cover to cover:

Autumn Leaves Brunch & Auction (Page 2)

We kick things off with one of our most beloved seasonal events. If you’ve attended before, you know the energy is unmatched. If you haven’t—this issue will show you why it’s such a cornerstone of our support and community.

A Message from the Board (Page 3)

A heartfelt reflection on where we’ve been, what we’ve learned, and where we’re going—together.

Kitten Season + The “How Fast Cats Multiply” Chart (Pages 4–5)

Kitten season is real—and it’s intense. These pages break down what it means for rescues, fosters, and communities, plus a clear visual chart that shows just how quickly cat populations can grow without spay/neuter support. It’s eye-opening, and it reinforces why early intervention matters.

Our Journey: Building an Art Studio and Cat Rescue (Page 6)

A creative and courageous story that blends passion with purpose—proof that rescue work can grow in unexpected (and beautiful) ways.

Looking Through Her Window (Page 8)

A reflective piece that invites you into a quieter kind of transformation—the kind that happens when compassion becomes a daily choice.

History and Initiatives of PUPS (Page 10)

Curious about how PUPS has grown and what we’re focused on now? This section gives a strong overview of our work and the initiatives that continue to shape our mission.

Honoring Our Volunteer: Jane Kline (Page 11)

This one is special. We’re celebrating Jane Kline, our Volunteer honoree, for the consistent love and time she pours into the cats at The Cat Shop—including her dedication to socializing the kitties several times a week. Her steady presence makes a difference that can’t be measured—and we’re proud to shine the spotlight where it belongs.

Dot’s Connection: A Home for Checkers (Page 12)

A story that reminds us how one animal can create a ripple effect—connecting people, building hope, and helping love land where it’s needed most.

The Auction: History, Impact + Getaways You Can Win (Pages 14 & 16)

Ever wonder what the auction truly supports? We share the history and impact behind it—plus a sneak peek at travel auction getaways that could be yours. It’s fun, exciting, and deeply meaningful because every bid supports animals in need.

2025 Autumn Leaves Pictorial (Page 15)

A look back through photos that capture the community, the warmth, and the memories that make this season so special.

Touchless Love (Page 18)

Sometimes love doesn’t look like cuddles. Sometimes it looks like patience, presence, and showing up in the way an animal can handle. This piece beautifully honors that kind of care.

Hidden Objects Activity (Page 19)

A fun, interactive moment to end the issue—perfect for families, supporters, and anyone who loves a little “seek and find” joy.
