We want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to comfortforcritters.org for their recent donation of handmade blankets and crochet toys for our shelter cats. Your thoughtful gifts bring warmth, comfort and a sense of security to the pets waiting for their forever homes.

Comfort for Critters' mission - to comfort all the ones they can't adopt - truly shines thru in every item their volunteers create. As a volunteer-driven program dedicated to providing handmade blankets to animal shelters and foster homes, their kindness makes an incredible difference in the lives of animals EVERYWHERE.

As you can see in the photos, this sweet kitty, Samuel, is already loving his new blanket and toy. And Missy is pulling her toy into her cubby area, getting the most out of it! Bringing both these kitties joy and comfort. Our cats are enjoying every bit of your generosity, and we are so grateful for your continued support. Thank you for helping us provide comfort, care, and happiness to the animals that need it the most!

Adoption Status: Searching for her forever snuggle buddy!

Say hello to Chile—a sweet, snuggly girl with a chill vibe that’s just as comforting as a warm bowl of green chile stew.

At 2 years old, Chile has the perfect balance of youthful charm and calm energy. She walks beautifully on leash, seems to be potty trained, and is already showing off her good manners—she knows how to “sit” and is eager to keep learning (especially if snacks are involved!).

Chile enjoys the simple pleasures in life:
*Strolling peacefully by your side
*Cooling off in a kiddie pool
*Curling up for belly rubs and nap time
*Flashing those round cheeks and wiggly walk that may or may not make her look like an adorable baby piglet (spoiler: she totally does).

This brown beauty would thrive in a home that offers:
*Easygoing walks and positive training
*Some outdoor time (with pool privileges, please!)
*A cozy spot for naps and love
*A soft spot for the sweet-and-mild types

Chile is a one-of-a-kind sweetheart who's guaranteed to spice up your life—in the gentlest way possible.

Come meet her at our Eastside shelter—you’ll be hooked at first sniff!

Adoption fees are currently waived! All pets are spay/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped!

Thanks to Nothin’ But a Hound Dog Photography for volunteering time to photograph our shelter pets!
