Experienced fosters (or adopters!!!) needed! Please help if you can 🙏🏼💓

Redbull and Ringo Starr are in need of *separate* foster homes, preferably with no other animals. They are both so sweet and silly but struggling with the shelter environment and living amongst other cats.

If you are able to foster one of these handsome boys, please email us ASAP at [email protected] and also go on our website to apply to foster. It’s super easy and all supplies are provided by us at no cost to you!

DM us for more info on either cat! We would love to answer any questions you may have about them. 🐈‍⬛
