📚 RAMONA HAS REVIEWED THE RULES.

She has decided they are more like…suggestions. 😂

Meet Ramona, a 15-week-old tabby-and-white kitten who has been at DeKalb Humane Society for about five weeks.

Which means she has already had plenty of time to begin drafting her own version of Ramona the Pest.

Potential chapters include:

📖 Ramona and the Thing She Definitely Wasn’t Supposed to Climb

📖 Ramona Turns the Hallway Into a Racetrack

📖 Ramona and the Mysterious Case of the Missing Hair Tie

📖 Ramona Discovers That “Get Down” Is Apparently Her Name

📖 Ramona Takes a Nap After Contributing Absolutely Nothing

At just under 3 pounds, she is currently accepting applications for a family willing to provide:

🐾 toys
❤️ love
🛋️ cozy sleeping spots
🍗 snacks
😂 and forgiveness for any questionable plot twists along the way

She’s already spent five weeks waiting for somebody to start the next chapter with her.

We think it’s time.

Chapter One: Ramona Gets Adopted.

👇 But YOU get to write Chapter Two.

What trouble does Ramona get into first once she’s home?

We’ll start:

📚 Chapter Two: Ramona Learns the Houseplants Have Rules.

Ramona is available for adoption at DeKalb Humane Society. 🐱❤️

🎶 BREAKING NEWS: THE BAND IS BACK TOGETHER.

Meet Hall & And Oates.

Yes.

Hall. And Oates.

No, shelter staff cannot be trusted with naming privileges. We have established this. 😂

These two tiny gentlemen arrived on the same day and are currently sharing accommodations in the Kitten Condo, where we assume they spend most of their time discussing creative differences and wondering why every adult who walks by starts laughing at their names.

🎤 HALL
14 weeks old
Grey tabby
About 3 lbs
Has been informed repeatedly that he cannot pursue a solo career yet.

🎸 AND OATES
11 weeks old
Black & white
About 2 lbs
Still unclear why his legal name includes the word “And.”

Together they bring you such future household hits as:

🎵 You Make My Treats Come True
🎵 I Can’t Go for That (No More Closed Doors)
🎵 Private Eyes Are Watching You Eat Dinner
🎵 Maneater — but literally, please feed us

Their current tour has been running at DeKalb Humane Society for about two weeks, and frankly, ticket sales are disappointing.

Both boys are available for adoption.

They are not listed as a bonded pair, so they can each find their own home…

BUT COME ON.

Imagine getting to tell people:

“Oh, these are my cats.”

“Cute! What are their names?”

“Hall and Oates.”

You would never have to accomplish anything else socially.

👇 So we need your help:

If Hall & Oates released a kitten album, what would the album be called?

We’ll start:

💿 No Treats? We’re Outta Touch.

Hall and And Oates are available for adoption at DeKalb Humane Society. 🐾🎶

☎️ MILO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO WHOEVER IS IN CHARGE OF HIS STORYLINE.

Because apparently there has been a mistake.

Milo already did this once.

He was found as a stray.
He came to DeKalb Humane Society.
He got adopted.
He thought he had his forever home.

ROLL CREDITS. DONE. HAPPY ENDING.

Except life had other plans.

When his family split up, nobody was able to keep him, and through absolutely no fault of his own, Milo found himself back at the shelter.

His official response:

“Um. I would like a refund.” 😂😭

Milo is about 5 years old, already trained, house-trained, and a professional people enthusiast.

He is sweet.
He is affectionate.
He has a BIG personality.
He likes being involved in whatever you’re doing.

And yes, our boy is carrying a little extra…let’s call it emotional support fluff.

He could use some exercise.

Milo would like everyone to understand that he prefers the term:

✨ sturdy ✨

He’s an energetic guy who would love an active family that can give him structure, playtime, attention, and a permanent spot in the action.

If you have another dog, we’ll require a meet and greet. His feelings about cats are still under investigation.

Mostly, Milo is ready to stop doing reruns.

He already knows how the shelter chapter goes.

He wants the sequel where somebody chooses him and actually gets to keep him. ❤️

👇 So help us improve Milo’s mood:

If Milo had a job, what would his job title be?

We’re going with:

Director of Household Operations & Unsolicited Supervision.

Milo is available for adoption at DeKalb Humane Society. 🐾

📚 BEEZUS WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE PLOT.

She has reviewed the current storyline and frankly, she has notes.

Chapter 1: Beezus arrives at DeKalb Humane Society.
Acceptable.

Chapter 2: Beezus is adorable, black and white, approximately 19 weeks old, and spends her days doing important kitten business.
Strong character development.

Chapter 3: Beezus has now been waiting about FIVE WEEKS for someone to adopt her.

…excuse us?

That is clearly where the author lost the plot. 😂

Beezus would like an immediate rewrite involving:

📦 at least one box she ignores all other toys for
🛋️ a couch she did not pay for
🐾 late-night activities nobody authorized
😴 dramatic naps after contributing absolutely nothing to the household
❤️ and one human who looks at her and says, “Yep. That one.”

She may share a name with a famous book character, but Beezus is ready to be the main character in her own story.

And there is only one ending we’re accepting:

“…and then Beezus got adopted.”

👇 Help us write the next chapter:

What should the TITLE of Beezus’s happily-ever-after book be?

We’ll start:
📖 Beezus and the Mysterious Disappearance of Everyone’s Personal Space

Beezus is available for adoption at DeKalb Humane Society. 🖤🤍

🚨 MARLA’S 6-WEEK PERFORMANCE REVIEW IS IN. 🚨

Position: Tiny Puppy
Department: Unsupervised Decisions
Weight: 6.5 lbs
Experience: Approximately none
Confidence: Absolutely unreasonable

⭐ Cuteness: 15/10
⭐ Snack acquisition: Promising
⭐ Following directions: We have not reached that chapter yet
⭐ Personal boundaries: TBD, but probably nonexistent
⭐ Ability to make grown adults say “OH MY GOSH”: Exceptional
⭐ Housekeeping skills: Please be serious. She is six weeks old.

Management has determined that Marla shows significant potential, provided she can secure a permanent position in a home willing to train her, love her, and forgive whatever nonsense is coming next. 😂

She’s a tiny mixed-breed girl who came to us as a stray and is basically starting life with a blank résumé. Toys? New. Walks? New. House training? New. Being somebody’s spoiled little best friend? Accepting applications now. 🖤🐾

FINAL REVIEW: PROMOTE TO ADOPTED.

Now we need the public’s input:

👇 What job do you think Marla is actually qualified for?

We’ll start: Assistant Director of Things Found on the Floor.

Come meet Marla at DeKalb Humane Society! 🐶💕

Please note Marla must be 8 weeks old before she can be adopted.
