Meet Jocelyn!
This sassy senior lady came to us after her beloved owner passed away, and now this sweet girl is looking for a new forever home.

Jocelyn has lived a life full of love, and she deserves to spend her golden years being spoiled, adored, and treated like the queen she knows she is.

Who has room in their heart (and home) for this special girl?

Shadow is ready to steal your heart.
This handsome grey tuxedo boy is looking for an experienced cat owner who understands that the best relationships are built on patience, trust, and plenty of love. And once Shadow gets to know you, he is incredibly affectionate—a total sweetheart who loves giving and receiving affection.
Shadow may need someone who can appreciate him on his own terms, but he has so much love to give. Could you be his forever person?

MAKE YOUR GIFT GO TWICE AS FAR!

We have two featured cats this week: Muffin and Mittens. These sweet senior boys are a bonded pair and do absolutely everything together. From nap time cuddles to behind-the-ear scratches, they sure know how to enjoy their golden years!

If you love cozy afternoon snuggles and plenty of purrs, these boys are for you!

Today is the LAST DAY to make your donation go twice as far! Starting at 1PM today (August 25th), the first $50,000 donated across all participating Clear the Shelters organizations will be matched dollar for dollar—meaning you can have twice the impact on helping cats in need!

Donate through the link in our bio or our Stories today to have your gift matched!

Every dollar helps us care for cats like Muffin and Mittens while they wait for their furever homes!

Let’s get these two seniors to the loving home they deserve!
