On Saturday, April 19, 2025, Mango’s Miracles put on its first-ever Movie with Meows, a community event where families can come and catch a movie while cuddling with adoptable cats. The movie of the afternoon was Disney’s “Oliver & Company,” and the featured felines were Magnolia and her kittens – all named after types of trees. Mango’s Miracles partnered with West Side Church of Christ in Yorktown, Indiana to house the event. The founder of Mango’s Miracles, Lindsey Wright, hopes to make this a regular event, as the organization is always taking in new animals.
