Mark your calendars! Join us for our 3rd Annual Flash Tattoo Fundraiser and help make a difference for animals in need.

This year, we're excited to be partnering with Wood Fire Pizza and Catering for a fantastic new location where you can grab delicious food while waiting to get some fresh ink. We're also thrilled to welcome back our four returning artists (Salty Raven Tattoo LLC, Sinstar Ink, Heath Studios & Tattoo, Tatttoo by Waabz) and introduce a Carnivorous FX to the lineup as well!

Whether you're adding to your collection or getting your very first tattoo, every tattoo helps support the animals in our care.

Flash tattoo designs will be posted on the event page as the event gets closer, so be sure to follow along for updates!

Come hungry, leave with new ink, and help change the lives of homeless animals. We can't wait to see you there!

🐾 June is Adopt a Shelter Cat Month! 🐾

This month, consider opening your heart to a shelter cat waiting for a second chance. From playful kittens to calm senior companions, there’s a perfect feline friend for everyone. 🐱❤️

By adopting, you’re not just gaining a pet — you’re saving a life and making room for another animal in need. For the whole month of June, we are offering $75 adoption fees for all of our adult cats to help them find the loving homes they deserve!

Check out all of our adoptable kitties on our website - https://www.hsofthelakes.org/cats
