Looking to add a little magic to your life? Meet Crowley & Rowena, an enchanting bonded pair looking for a soft place to land. ✨🐾

Rowena, a regal long-haired tabby and white lady of about 5 years, is the keeper of the coziest spell: blanket fort invisibility. Tucked away in her favorite cat tree hideaway, she watches the world with quiet curiosity. Timid, yes—but with the right gentle touch, Rowena melts like enchanted snow and absolutely adores soft pets.

Crowley, her younger orange and white counterpart (1½ years old), is a bit more bold—wandering Room 2 like a mysterious wizard in training. He's warmed up a little since arriving at Wishbone House and now happily accepts affection from his chosen humans. (He might be working on a charm spell... it's clearly working.)

While they have their own personalities, their bond is strong—and their magic is best when shared. All they need now is a calm, loving home to cast their final spell: happily ever after.

Ivy was adopted from the Wishbone House! This beauty has a charming personality and she soon melted the hearts of her new humans. Best wishes to this beauty.

At first glance, Nan might seem like the quiet type—but don’t be fooled! This beauty has a secret: she’s got a soft spot for chin scratches and cozy blanket forts. She spends her days keeping a watchful eye on things and finding the coziest napping spots.

Nan’s been with us since her beloved human passed away, and while she’s made herself quite comfortable here, we know she’s dreaming of a forever couch to snooze on and a gentle person to call her own.

If you’ve got a quiet home and an appreciation for cat supervisors with soft purrs and even softer hearts, Nan might just be your girl. Click here to fill out an application:https://tinyurl.com/bdz98cbs

Senior Sunday Spotlight: Onyx 🖤

At 13 years young, Onyx knows exactly what she wants—and she’s not shy about getting it. Recently, she decided Room 2 was much more her vibe and made the move herself. We didn’t argue. When a senior queen claims her throne (or, in this case, a cozy high perch), you let her rule.

With her signature squeaky meow and love of head scritches (but only head scritches, thank you very much), Onyx spends her days in regal relaxation—napping, observing, and occasionally exploring her kingdom when the mood strikes.

She may be mellow, but her charm is strong. Onyx reminds us that golden years are for comfort, quiet confidence, and unapologetic preferences. 👑💤

Hooray for Mindy and the other pets who found their forever homes this past week!🥳

Mindy found a cat loving family and will be spoiled in her new home, cat siblings and cat "people" for parents. I know this sweet girl will thrive there as I fostered her when she had kittens in my house last year. She almost turned us into foster failures too.

Looking for a ready-made feline family? We’ve got just the trio! 🐾

Meet Roo, Tigger, and Kessie—three sweethearts who came to us from a home with a few too many furry roommates. Despite their rough start, these cuties are writing a new chapter here at Wishbone.

Roo and Tigger (our dashing grey tabbies) settled in quickly and were more than happy to soak up the love and attention. Total pros at the art of headbutts and purrs.

Kessie, their lovely white-and-tabby friend, took a little longer to come out of her shell—but we’ve seen the spark. She’s learning that humans aren’t so scary after all (especially the ones with treats and wet food!).

These three would make a sweet, built-in family for someone with a little patience and a lot of heart. Whether adopted together or individually, they’re each ready for the calm, loving home they deserve.

Dear Diary,
Not every day has to be filled with drama, right?
Sometimes it’s just about the little things: a solid nap in the sunbeam, a sneak attack on a toy mouse, a long, satisfying stretch, and a good chat with the humans (they pretend not to understand me, but I know they get the gist).

Life with my roommates—Fitz, Louis, and Dewy—is still good. We’ve got our routines down. Fitz is the class clown, Dewy is the explorer, and Louis is the chill observer. And me? I’m the social butterfly, obviously. 💁‍♂️

Nothing wild to report—no dramatic escapes or shocking tuna thefts—but hey, sometimes the best days are the quiet ones.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a very important meeting with a sun puddle. ✨
Until next time,
—Diamond 🐾

Ever feel like someone’s waiting at the door just for you? That’s Euchre, our dashing 1-year-old gentleman with a white coat and tiger patches who always makes an entrance... and expects you to do the same!

He may be an independent guy, but don’t let that fool you, Euchre loves his people. The second you step into his room, he’s right there to say hello and politely demand some pets (it’s basically a requirement for entry).

Whether he’s lounging or surveying his kingdom with quiet confidence, Euchre strikes the perfect balance between cool and cuddly. He's still letting us in on the full range of his personality, but one thing’s for sure—he’s got heart, style, and a soft spot for human attention.
