Los Angeles, CA , Aug. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Unstoppable Domains, the largest onchain domain provider, in partnership with the Lady Rocket Foundation, today announced the launch of .MOONCAT. The new Web3 domain extension connects cat lovers around the world with digital identity while funding programs that support cat rescue and shelter initiatives through space initiatives.
Users who purchase 50 .MOONCAT domains within the first 24 hours will receive preferred access to Lady Rocket’s MOONCAT NFT collection, currently residing on the lunar surface. This historic collection, which landed on the Moon on March 2, 2025, will be authenticated and tokenized as Real-World Space Assets by Copernic Space, with a percentage of proceeds supporting philanthropic missions for pets on Earth.
Lady Rocket created The MOONCAT collection in collaboration with leading pet care executive Mark Donavon, who serves as CEO of PawsitiveTouch and is the former Global Head of Digital & AI Strategy at Nestle Purina PetCare. According to Mark Donavon, “As an investor and Passport holder at Copernic Space and advisor to The Lady Rocket Foundation, I’m excited to see this partnership happen — a partnership dedicated to improving the lives of cats in shelters and to finding their forever families — and a partnership bringing cutting-edge technologies to drive awareness of this problem among entirely new audiences.”
Rooted in Cat Rescue and Philanthropy
The Lady Rocket Foundation has a long history of supporting abandoned and sheltered cats, including efforts near Vandenberg Space Force Base. Each year, more than 3.2 million cats enter shelters in the United States, and many never find permanent homes. In the first half of 2025, approximately 1.4 million cats entered U.S. shelters, a slight decrease compared to the same period in 2024, according to Shelter Animals Count. A 10% portion of the proceeds from .MOONCAT domain registrations will be directed toward food, veterinary care, and adoption services for rescue cats through Lady Rocket Foundation programs.
The inspiration began with Lady Rocket’s own rescue cat, Apollo XI, who sparked the original MoonCat NFT collection. That collection traveled to the Moon aboard Copernic Space’s Moon Mission I earlier this year, making cats one of the first animal symbols to be represented on the lunar surface.
A Leap Into Web3 Identity
With .MOONCAT domains, the mission expands into the digital world. Each domain functions as a blockchain-based identity, usable as a crypto wallet name, profile, or website address, while carrying forward the playful and cosmic legacy of the MoonCats.
Lady Rocket said, “Our mission is about more than technology. It is about creating lasting impact for shelter cats here on Earth and telling their story in the most imaginative way possible. From local shelters to space and now to Web3, cats have become a powerful symbol of hope, creativity, and connection.
Owning a .MOONCAT domain is not just about digital identity. It expands the value and joy of being part of a movement that bridges the thriving new Web3 and Space Economy with the well-being of cats who still suffer on our planet. It also honors the silent cats once used in space exploration experiments, giving them long-overdue recognition.”
.MOONCAT domains are now available exclusively through Unstoppable Domains. Early adopters can secure names such as rescue.mooncat, space.mooncat, or meow.mooncat, joining a movement that brings together philanthropy, technology, and cosmic imagination.
Sandy Carter, Chief Business Officer of Unstoppable Domains, said, “Cats have always been icons of the internet, and now they are making their mark in Web3 and space. With .MOONCAT, we are showing how digital identity can be a force for good, creating real-world impact for shelter cats while giving people a fun and meaningful way to express themselves online. This partnership with the Lady Rocket Foundation proves that technology, philanthropy, and imagination can come together to make a difference.”
