🐾 Meet Bucky Barnes! 🐾

This playful little man is part superhero, part snuggle bug. 💫 When he’s not busy people-watching out the window, he’s on a mission to hunt down his favorite fish toy (spoiler: he usually wins 🎣).

Bucky loves cozy spots — whether it’s a pile of laundry or your chest — and he’s happiest being a full-time indoor cuddle companion. 💕

If you’re looking for a sweet, curious cat to brighten your days, Bucky’s your guy! 😻

Meet Tina! 🐱✨

Tina is the perfect mix of sass and sweetness—she truly embodies the classic cat personality. Give her just a day to settle in, and she’ll be right at your side (or on your lap!) soaking up affection.

This chatty girl loves to be pet and will happily rub against your legs while carrying on a full conversation. Tina also has strong opinions—especially about other cats. She’ll be the first to tell you that she prefers to be the one and only feline in the home.

Litter box trained and easy to care for, Tina is a delightful housemate who will keep you entertained with her spunky personality and endless charm.

If you’re ready for a cat with character, Tina is your girl! 💕

Meet Howl! 🐾

This handsome 4-year-old pup is the definition of a good boy. Friendly, social, and easygoing, Howl gets along wonderfully with both dogs and cats, making him a perfect fit for a multi-pet household.🥰

Howl currently lives in a dorm and has proven that he does great in smaller spaces—so whether you’re in an apartment, condo, or house, he’ll adjust just fine. His happy personality, wagging tail, and big smile are sure to brighten every day.❤️

If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’s already proven to be adaptable, playful, and affectionate, Howl just might be your perfect match!💫

Do you feed outdoor community cats? Have you gotten them TNR'd? If you have over 5+ community cats that are not spayed/neutered and you are in Boone County we might be able to help!

TNR stands for Trap/Neuter/Return. We say return instead of release because we aren't just releasing them anywhere outside, we are returning them to the same place they are trapped; their home!

During TNR, we first gather info on the colony: how many, when they are fed, make sure a feeding schedule is in place then set up a plan and day to set humane traps. Food is pulled the day before we set traps, then once we catch the cats in need of being fixed we take them in the next day for neuter, vaccinate against rabies and they get an ear-tip on their left ear so that I and other trappers know that cat has already been fixed. This way if they go back in a trap we know to let them go again instead of stressing them out and having to sedate them again just to find out they were already fixed.

If you have over 5+ outdoor community cats in need of this service please fill out this form!
Please keep in mind we currently can only help Boone County Residence at this time.
https://forms.gle/c9497RdJU1eMkAti7

If you have LESS than 5 community cats you can shoot us an email for information about where to set up TNR appointments, how to rent traps and for a guide on how to TNR.

Thanks for caring about our community cats!
