Our pantry shelves are bare and we need your help to restock them! We want to help with the storm relief, but we just don’t have the spare food..yet! Our garage sale leftovers are still available as well for anyone needing clothes or house supplies. It’s all free!

Come look it over at the shelter at 12073 N. 1000th Rd. Effingham off of Rt. 40 (old Funkhouser school) between 9a-2p on Saturday and help yourself to anything you need.

We have a very small load of food we are taking to the Pet Food Pantry on Saturday at the FISH building, but those limited supplies won’t last long. Puerto Vallarta Effingham is helping to gather supplies for all the local rescues for us to distribute, so please drop stuff off there!

Or, if you are not local, you can shop our Amazon wishlist-link in comments. We sincerely appreciate your help. These programs don’t exist without your support. It means so much to us and the animals in our community. ❤️ Thank you.

🏖️🌊 Named After Famous Beaches… Ready for Their Forever Shores! 🌊🏖️

Meet Paradise, Driftwood, Coral, Cannon, and Sunset, a group of 9-week-old kittens named after some of the world’s most beautiful beaches. While they may not come with ocean views or palm trees, they do come with endless entertainment, tiny toe beans, and enough kitten antics to keep life interesting.

Raised in a foster home alongside their mama, Moonstone, these little beach bums are now ready to start searching for families of their own.

🌴 Paradise
🪵 Driftwood (male)
🐚 Coral (male)
💥 Cannon (male)
🌅 Sunset

Like waves rolling onto shore, kitten season just keeps coming, and we have many more little ones waiting behind this crew. Every adoption helps create space for the next cat or kitten that needs us.

Their adoption fee is $90 for one or $150 for two, and we always recommend adopting kittens in pairs when possible. Kittens teach each other important social skills, help burn off all that endless energy, provide companionship, and are often less likely to develop unwanted behaviors that can occur when young kittens are raised alone.

These little beachgoers are ready to leave their foster “vacation rental” and check into forever homes. If you’ve been thinking about adding a kitten to your family, now is the perfect time to dive in.

After all, the only thing better than a day at the beach is coming home with a new best friend. 🏖️🐾
