🐾💛 Thankful Thursday meets National Cat Day! 💛🐾

Today, we’re celebrating all things feline for National Cat Day, and what better way to do that than by sharing a little extra gratitude with our amazing community! 🐱❤️

At Eastshore Humane Association, we see so many cats come through our doors. Some arrive sick, scared, or hurt, while others simply need a second chance and a safe place to land until their forever family finds them. No matter their story, every cat deserves love, compassion, and the opportunity for a brighter future.

✨ Today, we have some wonderful news to share! ✨

We know many of you have heard just how full our shelter has been, and we are SO thankful for the adopters who have opened their hearts and homes to our cats this month! So far in October, 27 cats have found their way into loving forever homes! 🎉🐈 Twenty-seven lives changed, twenty-seven families made a little furrier, and twenty-seven reasons to celebrate!

While celebrating these adoptions, we also welcomed 23 cats in October — 10 owner surrenders and 13 strays. Our staff and volunteers continue to show up day after day to feed, water, clean, nurture, comfort, and provide medical care to the animals who depend on us. It takes a lot of hands, a lot of patience, and a whole lot of love to keep going, especially when we're full. 🐾

But the truth is, we couldn't do this alone. Our staff and volunteers are only one piece of the puzzle. We need our adopters, donors, supporters, fosters, and community members who share our posts, spread the word, donate supplies, and show up for animals in need. Every adoption, every donation, every share, and every act of kindness helps us continue our mission of saving lives. 💛

So, this Thankful Thursday, we're sending an extra-big THANK YOU to everyone who has helped make October a month worth celebrating! You are part of every happy ending, every second chance, and every little paw that gets to go home. 🐾❤️

From all of us at Eastshore Humane Association, Happy National Cat Day! Give your own fur babies a little extra love today, and remember all the cats still waiting for someone to choose them. 🐈💗

Sometimes, life takes an unexpected turn, and through absolutely no fault of his own, sweet Lancer found himself needing a new place to land. His previous owners could no longer care for him and needed emergency placement, so now this lovable little man is hoping his next chapter leads him straight to his forever family! 🏡❤️
Lancer is a young boy (EDOB: 3/14/26) with a whole lot of love to give! 🥰 He still has some of that fun puppy energy and is working on his socialization and basic training as he grows into the best dog he can be. He may be a little shy when meeting new faces, but give him just a little time, and his sweet personality starts to shine! Once he warms up, all he wants is to be loved and to have someone he can call his own. 💙
Lancer has the potential to fit wonderfully into a home with children and other pets, where he can continue learning, growing, and discovering just how wonderful life can be with a family of his own. He doesn't need someone to expect perfection — he needs someone willing to give him patience, guidance, affection, and the chance to be someone's everything. 🐶💕
✨ Can you help Lancer find his happily ever after? ✨
Please consider opening your heart and home to this sweet boy. He deserves a family who will love him unconditionally and give him the forever home he has been waiting for!
🐾 Interested in adopting Lancer? Here's how!
Dog meet-and-greets are by approved application and appointment only. Please visit our website at eastshoreha.org to complete a pet application. Once your application has been processed and approved, a staff member will reach out to schedule an appointment to meet Lancer!
Let's find this lovable little man the family of his dreams! Please share to help Lancer find his forever home! 🏡💙

🐾🖤 CAT OF THE DAY: MEET BABOON! 🖤🐾

Looking for a sweet feline friend to add to your family? Meet Baboon, a handsome young boy with a gentle heart who is patiently waiting for his forever home! 🏡💕

🐱 Born: Approximately June 9, 2025
🐾 Neutered & fully vetted
❤️ Ready for adoption!

Baboon came to Eastshore Humane Association as a stray and while he can be a little shy when meeting new people, don't let that fool you! Once he feels comfortable, his sweet personality begins to shine. All this handsome boy needs is a little patience, understanding and someone willing to give him the love he deserves.

We believe Baboon would thrive in a home with older children who understand his need to adjust at his own pace. He would also benefit from having other friendly feline companions to help him build confidence and feel right at home! 🐈💕

🏡 COME MEET BABOON TODAY!

🚪 OPEN VIEWING TODAY: 12 PM – 5 PM!

Stop by Eastshore Humane Association today to meet Baboon and all of our other wonderful cats waiting for their second chance! You never know - your new best friend might be waiting for you! 🐾❤️

Even if you're not looking to adopt, sharing Baboon's story could help him find the loving family he's been waiting for! 🥰

Let's help Baboon find his happily ever after! 🏡🐾

🐱💕 FRIDAY CAT OF THE DAY: MEET ZOEY! 💕🐱

We know, we know… Cat of the Week is usually a Monday thing! But our featured kitty this week found their forever home just THREE HOURS after we posted! 🎉

So we figured, why not give it another go and spread a little extra adoption magic this Friday?! ✨🐾

🌸 Meet Zoey! 🌸

Born on January 8, 2020, Zoey is a beautiful, sweet and affectionate girl who is more than ready to find her forever family! She is spayed, fully vetted and has SO much love to give. 💗

This girl has truly never met a stranger! Zoey loves absolutely everyone she meets. Whether she's greeting visitors, rubbing against your legs asking for attention or curling up next to you for a cozy nap, she's happiest when she's surrounded by love.

🥰 A few things to know about Zoey:

💕 She's a total sweetheart and snuggle buddy!

🐾 She loves people and making new friends.

🐱 She would do well with other friendly felines.

🏡 She's ready to fill someone's home with cuddles, purrs and unconditional love!

And while Zoey is our star today, she's certainly not the only one waiting for a home!

🚨 Our shelter is STILL at maximum cat capacity! 🚨

We have so many wonderful cats and kittens, each with their own personality, just waiting for someone to give them a chance. From playful youngsters to laid-back cuddle bugs, bonded pairs and everything in between, there's truly a feline friend for everyone! 🐈🐈‍⬛

If you've been thinking about adopting, NOW is the perfect time! Not only will you gain a wonderful companion, but you'll also help us make room for another animal in need. ❤️

🏡 COME MEET OUR CATS TODAY!

📅 Friday, TODAY!
⏰ 12:00 PM – 6:00 PM
📍 Eastshore Humane Association

Stop by during our open cat viewing hours, meet Zoey and spend some time getting to know all of our adoptable kitties!

💛 How to Adopt:

🤍🐾 Thankful Thursday: Missie’s Happy Tail!

Some animals find their forever homes right away, while others need a little extra time for the right person to see just how special they are. Today, we’re celebrating one of those special souls — Missie, now known as Penny! 🥹

Missie came to Eastshore Humane Association as a transfer from another rescue. She was a shy girl who often watched her friends find their forever homes while she quietly waited for her turn. She wasn’t always sure how to say hello or show people the wonderful personality hiding beneath that timid exterior. But we knew Missie deserved her chance, too. As a life-saving shelter, we promised to stand beside her and give her the time she needed. 🐾

And then came Pam. ❤️

Sometimes, the perfect match is worth waiting for, and that’s exactly what happened! Pam saw something special in Missie, and now Missie — or rather, Penny — is settling into her new life and growing more attached to her person every day!

Pam shared that Penny is gentle and meek, but also lots of fun and funny! She even sent us a picture so we could see for ourselves that Penny is happy, healthy, and so very loved. Nothing makes our hearts happier than knowing one of our animals is finally home. 🏡

Penny, your journey may have taken a little longer than some, but you were always worth the wait. We hope your days are filled with comfort, laughter, love, and all the little things that make life wonderful. You never had to be the boldest or the first to get noticed — you just needed your person to find you. And she did! 🥹🐱

Thank you, Pam, for seeing the beauty in Penny and giving her the loving home she always deserved! And thank you to everyone who supports Eastshore Humane Association and makes it possible for us to stand beside animals who need a little extra time to find their happily ever after.

Every animal deserves a chance. Every animal deserves love. And every animal is worth the wait

Happy Thankful Thursday from all of us at Eastshore Humane Association! 🤍🐾
