On Thursday, we welcomed 8 kittens into our care. They actually came from two different litters, but they all have one thing in common: they're very sick and desperately need a chance to heal.

These little ones are battling severe eye infections, parasites, and are dangerously underweight. Right now they're receiving antibiotics, dewormer, plenty of nutritious food, and lots of TLC from our staff and volunteers.

If you'd like to help give these kittens the care they so desperately need, please consider making a donation today at:
https://www.boonehumanesociety.org/donate .

Every dollar helps provide medications, veterinary care, and the nutrition they need to grow strong. Their road to recovery won't be easy, but we know they're worth every ounce of effort.

Can't donate but still want to help? Leave a comment and send the kittens some good thoughts!

🐾 Just look at these beautiful boys! 😻

Fix It Felix and Wreck It Ralph are ready to find their forever home — together! 💕 These brothers are just as sweet and loving as they are handsome. They love cuddling up with each other, and they’re looking for a home where they can continue being the best of friends.

Why adopt one cat when you can bring home an already-made pair of BFFs? 🥰 Two cats, twice the love, and no need for awkward introductions!

We’re open TODAY from noon–4 PM. Stop by and meet Fix It Felix and Wreck It Ralph!

Can’t make it in today? You can fill out an online adoption application now. We’ll add the link to each of their pictures.

🏠 These boys are ready to go home — could that home be yours? ❤️

💔 Ranch Dressing is feeling a little sad tonight. All of her siblings have been adopted, but no one has chosen her yet. 🥺

Ranch is a quieter kitten, but don’t let that fool you—she is SO sweet! 💕 Her fur is unbelievably soft, almost like petting a bunny, and she has the most interesting coat color. While her head has beautiful black fur, the spots on her body are actually more of a soft gray! 😍

She’s hoping her person is out there and will see just how special she is. Could that person be you? 😽

🐾 Foster Friday 🐾

Fridays are always better with kittens, and we've got plenty of tiny purr machines to make you smile! 🐱💕

Right now, we have 24 kittens thriving in foster homes, but even more are waiting at the shelter for a safe place to land. Could your home be the next stop on their journey?

Fostering is one of the most rewarding ways to make a difference. We provide everything you need. All you have to provide is a loving home, a little time, and lots of cuddles.

Whether you can foster for a few weeks or a little longer, you'll be giving vulnerable kittens the chance to grow, socialize, and prepare for their forever families.

Meet Nala! 🐾💕

If you're looking for a dog with personality, Nala is your girl!

This fun-loving, medium-sized sweetheart keeps us smiling every single day. She's well-mannered, enjoys her routine, and isn't afraid to let us know when she'd like a little attention from the front of her kennel! She's got plenty to say, but once you spend time with her, you'll discover a sweet, playful girl who's ready to be someone's best friend.

Nala also has one hilarious quirk... she insists that food tastes better off the floor! 🍽️😂 If she gets the chance, she'll happily tip over her food bowl just so she can enjoy her meal her own way. We don't understand it, but Nala certainly does!

She can be a little shy when meeting new dogs, so slow, thoughtful introductions would be best. With the right match, we think she'd do well with a canine companion.

Nala has been patiently waiting for her forever family, and we know there's someone out there who will love her goofy habits, playful spirit, and big heart just as much as we do.

❤️ Apply to meet Nala now at https://adopt.adopets.com/pet/6d20d960-961f-4c2a-a104-31725ea78560?tracking=7b6f3185-af15-4656-a52c-012ff1bc3372

It's Where Are They Wednesday! 💙

One of our favorite things is seeing updates from our alumni and the wonderful lives they're living after adoption. Thank you to everyone who shares photos with us—they always make our day!

First up are Phantom and Bear, two adorable little black kitties who are proof that sometimes two really is better than one! These best buddies are living their happily ever after together and could easily be the poster cats for adopting a pair.

Next is Freddy (formerly Cassius), who, with a little help from his mom, sent a generous donation of canned cat food for the cats at the shelter today. Thank you, Freddy! Your furry friends are going to enjoy every bite. ❤️

Last but certainly not least is Franklin! This handsome little gray guy was only recently adopted, but he's already made a new best friend in his resident feline sibling. We love seeing these friendships blossom so quickly.

Have you adopted from Boone Area Humane Society? We'd love to feature your furry family member in a future Where Are They Wednesday! Share your photos in the comments or send them to us in a message. 🐾

It's Wish List Wednesday, and this week's ambassador is one very distinguished gentleman.

Meet Conrad. This handsome senior boy came to us as a stray and is now one of the more than 100 cats currently in our care. While Conrad is settling in nicely, there's one thing standing between him and feeling his best... a mouth full of painful, damaged teeth.

The good news is that Conrad has a dental procedure scheduled! The bad news is that his appointment is still a couple of weeks away. Until then, we'd love to keep him comfortable by feeding him canned food, which is much easier for him to eat.

There's just one problem—we only have TWO cases of canned cat food left, and Conrad isn't the only cat who needs it.

Can you help this sweet senior boy? We're hoping our amazing supporters can send us a few cases of Fancy Feast canned cat food (any chicken variety). You can purchase it locally and drop it off at the shelter, or have it shipped directly to us through our Amazon Wish List or Chewy Wish List.

📦 Chewy Wish List: https://www.chewy.com/g/boone-area-humane-society_b77060243 -list&wishlistsortby=DEFAULT

From Conrad and all of the cats who are counting on your kindness, thank you for helping fill hungry bellies and making life a little more comfortable while they wait for their forever homes. ❤️🐾

🎵Let it go, let it go!🎶

Let go of what? My fear I’m going to keep getting overlooked, obviously! Hi, I’m Elsa, very cute, very adoptable, and returning againas this week’s Meow Mayor!
All these cute kittens keep coming up for adoption and I feel like they’re flying right out the door!

Sure, I’m full grown, and a black cat, which means statistically I’m more likely to get overlooked, but I’ve still got a lot going for me! I love attention and pets, and I could be described as a purr machine.

Staff also point out that when you adopt an adult cat, you know what you’re getting personality-wise. Kittens could turn into anything!! They could be hiss machines instead of purr machines!

Come meet me in person and I’ll prove it. Staff are here to let you in Wednesday-Friday from 2-5 p.m. and Saturday from noon-4 p.m.!

Elsa
