Good Morning from Chickpea ☀️

Chickpea was living as apart of a cat colony in Johnston. Their colony was unfortunately located near a home owned by someone in law enforcement that was unethically relocating them to unknown places and nearby businesses were taking away their warm homes. We were able to trap the entire colony and some kitties have been adopted. After a few years Chickpea and her brothers Ollie and Otto are still with us. Chickpea is cautious with new faces but once she settles in she would be a perfect couch potato with you. She would do best in a quiet home that will give her lots of time to settle in. A home without dogs and kids would be best. Cats are okay.

Chickpea’s adoption fee is ONLY $20 until the end of year in hopes that someone will take a chance on her!

LET’S FIND CHICKPEA A HOME! 🩶

🚨 CHONK ALERT! 🚨

Did you know your family could gain an extra 20 lbs this holiday season by adopting this handsome man? And here’s the best part… Meowzart’s adoption fee is ONLY $20 for the rest of the year!

Meowzart came to us as a transfer from our friends at the ARL. The traditional shelter environment was a little overwhelming for this big guy but he’s absolutely THRIVING at the Cat House! He’s made tons of feline friends and has really become a cat house favorite.

He loves playtime and soaking up all the love he can get. Meowzart would do best in a home without dogs or young children.

🐾 ADOPT MEOWZART! ❤️

Life is sweeter with a little Shortcake! 🍰 ❤️

Meet Shortcake! This approximately 6 month old sweetheart went from living outside in a pile of old tires to stealing hearts everywhere she goes.

And when we say affectionate, we mean AFFECTIONATE! She is quite possibly the most loving cat we’ve ever met. One interaction with Shortcake and we promise your whole day will be brighter. She’s the kind of girl who makes you wonder how you ever got through a day without her cuddles.

Her past may have been a little rough but this girl is nothing but sweetness. Now she’s ready to trade those old tires for a cozy forever home. If you’re interested in meeting or adopting Shortcake please fill out the application below.

🦃 🧡 With the holidays quickly approaching, we’re focusing our efforts on finding our long-term rescue cats the loving homes they deserve!

We currently have 25 long-term cats, some of whom have been waiting for over SIX YEARS in rescue. We’ve gotten to know their quirky personalities, silly habits, and loving hearts, and we’re still hoping they’ll get the chance to share those with their very own forever families.

To help make that happen, all long-term cat adoption fees will be just $20 through the end of the year!

We’d love to introduce approved adopters to these special kitties and share their stories. You might just meet the perfect addition to your family!

Please fill out an adoption application if you’re interested in meeting our long-term cats. Let’s help them find home for the holidays! ❤️🎄

WOW just doesn’t seem like a big enough word to express how grateful we are! Donations for the cats have been arriving all week, and we are truly blown away by everyone’s kindness and generosity! 🥹

We wish we could hug every single one of you! We are so incredibly blessed to have such an amazing community behind us. 🫶🏻

Our hearts are full, and so are some very happy kitties! ❤️

We’re SO excited to introduce these two sweethearts! ❤️

Meet Vinny and Matilda! These one year old siblings came from an unstable living environment and when we agreed to take in cats from this situation, we honestly weren’t sure what to expect. We didn’t know what their personalities would be like, how socialized they were, or even whether they would be comfortable enough with people to become adoptable.

Well, these two have completely stolen our hearts! They are the absolute sweetest, unbelievably loving and want nothing more than to be by your side. 🥹

We cannot wait to find Vinny and Matilda the amazing homes they deserve. My goodness, these two deserve a happily ever after!

PLEASE SHARE, SHARE, SHARE! Help us spread the word and get these sweet siblings one step closer to finding their forever homes!
