From Fox News to Fur Haven: Kat Timpf, Greg Gutfeld, and Tyrus Launch a Rescue Center for Abused Animals

In an era when headlines are dominated by political discord and economic uncertainty, a different kind of story is quietly unfolding behind the scenes at Fox News. Anchored not by partisan debates or breaking news alerts, but by compassion and second chances, three familiar faces — Kat Timpf, Greg Gutfeld, and Tyrus — are embarking on a mission that few saw coming: the creation of a sanctuary for abused and neglected animals.

While fans of Gutfeld! are well-acquainted with the trio’s sharp wit, banter, and cultural commentary, few knew that a deeply personal moment in Kat Timpf’s life would spark such a transformative initiative. It all began with her beloved cat, Cheens — a playful, intelligent feline who had long been a fixture in Timpf’s social media posts and casual on-air anecdotes. Yet, behind the lighthearted snapshots was a story far more profound.

Months ago, during a quiet evening at home, Cheens exhibited unusually persistent behavior, pawing at Timpf’s chest and meowing insistently at a specific spot. Brushing it off at first as typical cat antics, Timpf soon noticed a hard lump beneath the area Cheens had fixated on. Spurred by a gnawing sense of curiosity — and Cheens’ unwavering attention — she scheduled a medical appointment. The diagnosis that followed was sobering: early-stage breast cancer. Thanks to Cheens’ uncanny intuition, doctors were able to intervene swiftly. Today, after undergoing treatment, Timpf is in remission.

“Cheens saved my life. It’s as simple as that,” Timpf shared in an exclusive sit-down. “It made me realize just how perceptive, loyal, and deeply connected animals are to us — and how much we owe them, especially those who haven’t been as lucky to find safe, loving homes.”

That realization lingered. Over late-night conversations and off-air moments, Timpf opened up to her longtime colleagues, Greg Gutfeld and Tyrus, about her experience. Both men, as it turns out, shared an unspoken bond with animals. Gutfeld, often characterized by his sardonic humor, has quietly supported several local rescue shelters over the years, while Tyrus — the towering former wrestler with an intimidating presence — is a self-proclaimed “softie” for stray animals, often fostering abandoned dogs at his home.

Their shared empathy, combined with growing concerns about the rise in pet abandonment and abuse amid mounting social pressures, set the stage for an ambitious plan. The result? Haven’s Paw, a rescue and rehabilitation center designed to provide refuge for abused, neglected, and abandoned cats and dogs.

Set to open later this year on the outskirts of New Jersey, Haven’s Paw will be far more than just a shelter. The trio envisions it as a holistic sanctuary offering veterinary care, rehabilitation, behavioral training, and, most importantly, a nurturing environment for animals recovering from trauma. In addition, educational outreach programs will aim to raise awareness about animal welfare and responsible pet ownership — an aspect Gutfeld feels particularly passionate about.

“So many people underestimate how the pressures of daily life — financial stress, emotional strain — can spill over into how they treat animals,” Gutfeld noted. “We want to offer both a safe space for the animals and an education platform to break that cycle.”

Tyrus, ever candid, added: “Growing up, I knew what it was like to feel unwanted or overlooked. Animals feel that too. This is our chance to make sure fewer of them go through that.”

While some might be surprised to see three prominent media personalities spearheading such a project, early signs suggest their platform will be a boon for awareness and fundraising. Fox News has already signaled its support, offering to feature regular updates about Haven’s Paw during segments and digital content. A dedicated website and social media channels are set to launch alongside the center, allowing supporters to follow rescue stories, adoption success tales, and volunteer opportunities.

The trio also hinted at plans to integrate Haven’s Paw into their on-air work. Timpf, for instance, intends to spotlight adoptable pets during her segments, while Gutfeld has floated the idea of a recurring “Rescue of the Week” feature on his show. Tyrus, known for blending humor with heartfelt commentary, is expected to lend his voice to several PSA campaigns tied to the initiative.

Behind the scenes, preparations are moving swiftly. The property secured for the center includes sprawling green space, multiple indoor facilities, and veterinary suites. Renovations are already underway to create separate wings for cats and dogs, designed with both comfort and safety in mind. A volunteer corps is being assembled, and partnerships with local veterinarians and trainers are being finalized.

For Timpf, the project is as much about giving back as it is about healing. “Cheens gave me a second chance at life,” she reflected. “This center is our way of paying it forward — for Cheens, for all the animals out there waiting for someone to see their worth.”

As the finishing touches come together and an official launch date looms, one thing is clear: Haven’s Paw is poised to be more than just a shelter. It’s a testament to the unseen bonds between humans and animals, and a reminder that even in turbulent times, acts of quiet kindness can ripple far beyond expectations.

Details about the grand opening, volunteer sign-ups, and donation opportunities will be released exclusively through Fox News in the coming months. And if early conversations are any indication, Timpf, Gutfeld, and Tyrus have only just begun to scratch the surface of what Haven’s Paw could become.
