😾 Ronny has spoken… and she’s not pleased

Why? Because she hasn’t gotten any interest.

Now, to be fair… this is pretty much Ronny’s face the majority of the time she is with people.

People aren’t really her thing, and she’s the shyest of her friends. But while she’s secretly happy for the cats who have found homes, she’s still waiting for her turn.

***To give Ronny (and her Quirky Cat Club pals) more time to find the right homes, we’re extending our fee-waived adoption event through the end of August!!!!!!****

Ronny is what we lovingly call a “shadow cat.” She thrives with quiet companionship, does best without social pressure, and will happily take treats (especially chicken!) from those she trusts. She’s made wonderful progress at the shelter—and we know the right family will appreciate her quirky charm and give her the safe haven she deserves to blossom.

Could your home be the one Ronny’s been waiting for?

We’re breaking ground — and building hope! 💜

After years of dreaming and planning, we’re finally breaking ground on our new shelter — a space designed to give every dog and cat a better chance, and every person a better place to connect, adopt, and save lives.

Our Capital Campaign is in full swing, and every gift — big or small — brings us closer to opening the doors of a shelter our animals truly deserve.

If you think Lindt is judging you… you’re probably right.

He’s a quiet observer who saves his affection for the people who truly get him. Give him patience and space, and his sweet side will shine.

His shyness is both his quirk and his charm. Cats and kittens in the main room adore him, often seeking him out for snuggles. Deep down, Lindt’s a love bug—he just needs someone who will respect his pace. He also loves other cats and hopes to find a home with a feline friend to share his days with.

✨ Adoption fee waived as part of our Quirky Cat Club, now through August 17th. Look for the ✨ on eligible cats.

Getting to leave the shelter and into a loving foster home = one happy Duke!!!!

Many of our adoptable dogs, like Duke, have spent their whole lives in a home - so the shelter can feel stressful and confusing, even with our best efforts to keep them comfortable.

Duke just spent his first night in foster and he’s already thriving. He slept soundly at the foot of the bed and has been a total gentleman with the resident dog (a fellow Baypath alum).

Way to go, Duke!!! 💜💜 Next stop: forever family.

Could that be you?
