🐾 Meet Robbie! 🐾

This 5-month-old tiger-striped cutie is the whole package: cuddly, playful, and full of curiosity. Robbie loves his kitten roommates, but he’s not shy about checking out the “big cats” through the door either — he’s got big dreams of being just as cool someday!

And if you walk into the room while he’s napping? Don’t worry, he’ll hop right up to greet you with a stretch and a purr, ready for pets and playtime.

Dear Diary,

Big news—I tried something brand new today. The humans put me in this thing called a harness, and guess what? I didn’t just tolerate it… I rocked it! 🚶‍♂️✨

They say not every cat is cut out for a harness, but I showed them I’m one of a kind. Imagine all the adventures I could go on with my forever family—patrolling the yard, lounging on a sunny porch, or just strutting around looking handsome.

I may be waiting here at Wishbone House, but I know the right person will see me for the special guy I am. Maybe my adventure buddy is reading this right now?

Love,
Diamond 🐾

👑 All hail Buddy, King of Wishbone! 👑

At 12 years young, this black-and-white monarch rules with dignity, charm, and just a dash of curiosity. His royal court? The top shelf in the back room — the perfect perch to survey his loyal subjects (staff, volunteers, and visitors alike).

When he’s not overseeing his kingdom, His Majesty enjoys peaceful strolls through the halls, graciously accepting chin scratches from those lucky enough to be in his presence.

Check those chips!🐱🐱🐱

🐾🔍 August 15th is National Check the Chip Day!

Microchipping is a lifesaver! But it works best when your details are up to date. Set aside a few minutes to:

✔ Check that your pet’s chip is registered
✔ Update your contact details if you’ve moved or changed numbers
✔ Verify it annually with your vet or local shelter

Let’s make sure our furry friends can always find their way back home when lost🐶🐱❤️

Meet Buffy and Josephine- The energetic sibling duo! 🐾

Buffy is a dashing orange-and-white boy, and Josephine is his stunning sister with a fashion statement all her own, the very tip of her tail is dipped in the same orange tiger stripes as her brother’s coat. Talk about sibling style coordination!

At 7 months old, they’re a dynamic pair of zoomies and pounces. Give them a spring toy, and you might as well grab a snack and watch the show — these two will be bouncing, chasing, and tag-teaming playtime for hours.

They’d love to bring their sibling shenanigans to your home and keep you laughing every single day. If you’re ready for double the love and double the fun, start your adoption journey here: https://tinyurl.com/bdz98cb

Meet Guppy! 🐟 This gorgeous gray tabby may have a fishy name, but she’s all feline fun!

Guppy came to Wishbone from the same cat colony as some of our other Wishbone residents... but she’s carved out her own spotlight with ease.

She may have sad 'puppy dog' eyes, but she is the definition of playful. She loves to run, chase, and romp around with her besties Josephine and Buffy. Whether she’s doing laps around the room or sneaking in a pounce, Guppy’s energy is downright contagious.

And when the playtime winds down? She’s all about the pets. Guppy is super sociable and loves spending time with her people, especially if it involves head scritches and attention.

🌟 Roo’s Ready for Her Close-Up! 🌟

Tiny but mighty, Roo is proving every day that size is no match for spirit! This sweet girl came to us from a large cat colony and has been thriving at Wishbone House ever since. She’s made herself right at home, especially when it comes to her favorite cozy nap spot, a little blanket tent where she can snooze in style. 💤

But don’t be fooled by her quiet moments! When Roo gets her turn to roam outside the room, she’s a whirlwind of zoomies, playtime, and fearless exploring. She may be small, but she’s got a big personality, equal parts cuddly and courageous.

🎀 Meet Dottie! 🎀
This black-and-white beauty has a big personality packed into a perfect little package. Dottie is the queen of conversation—she’s got something to say about everything, especially if wet food is involved. 🍽️😸

When she’s not chatting you up, she’s off on an adventure, exploring every nook and cranny of her space with confident curiosity. She's social, sassy, and just the right amount of sweet. If you're looking for a cat who keeps things interesting (and keeps you company), Dottie might be your girl.
