The Purrfect Collective
Hariya and Cheeku.
Founding Fathers
Hariya and Cheeku arrived in 2010 as tiny under 5 week bottle foster kittens and changed everything. When Hariya passed away in 2022, Richa began creating art to support animal rescue, starting with just henna. What started as a small act of love slowly blossomed, and when Cheeku passed in 2026, his memory gave the growing mission its name and a deeper purpose: The Purrfect Collective.
Hariya
2010 – 2022
Five weeks old when he came home. A large grey rescue with a mind of his own, famously elusive around everyone except his human mom. When he passed in July 2022, I began doing henna to raise funds for rescue. I was not starting anything. I was trying to turn grief into something that could help other animals.
Cheeku
2010 – 2026
Three weeks old, and named grandly because every beloved Indian family member deserves it. He stayed my constant companion while that little fundraiser slowly became something bigger than I had imagined. When I lost him in February 2026, The Purrfect Collective was born. The name had been quietly waiting for years.
