💔🌿 This is one we will never forget. 22 Kittens, 1 Overwhelmed Caretaker, and a Community That Can Change Everything for the next 100 cats. 🌿💔

When we got the call, we thought we were heading out to help an elderly woman with a few outdoor cats she’d been feeding. What we found was something none of us were prepared for. Six of her seven outdoor cats had given birth within just weeks of each other. When we stepped onto the property… there were 22 kittens. Twenty two tiny lives, crying, sick and desperate. More than a dozen kittens were trying to nurse from one exhausted momma cat. They were crusty, thin, and fighting for survival.

That night, we removed all 22 kittens and immediately TNR’d the adults so this cycle could finally stop. We were already over capacity and weren’t ready at all, but the kittens needed us more than we needed to be ready. (And we knew our helpers would have our back!)

We rushed to find fosters because these babies were far too fragile to enter the stressful shelter. They needed medication, round the clock care, and quiet places to heal. The property where they were born was overflowing with native plants and flowers, so every single one of these babies was given a plant name. Sort of a reminder of where they came from, and how something beautiful can grow even in the hardest places.

But this is just one property. We currently have 8 locations on our TNR list…and counting. The cycle won’t stop unless we step in together. We need to raise $5,000 to help cover the cost of 100 TNR surgeries. We need more kittens to have endings like this. The next 22 deserve to have the same story. Their mommas also deserve peace.

These cats deserve futures. And we can’t do it without you. They survive because someone cares. They will thrive because YOU do!

Donate today. Help us break the cycle. Help us save the next 22. 🐾💙

P.S. 🌱 This weekend, all 22 of these plant-named babies will be available for adoption at Fuller Plants in Fort Wayne.

Well… today was a bit of a flop. 😅
We packed up 12 adorable kittens and a whole crew of puppies, hauled everyone to Tractor Supply, crossed our fingers…

…and came home with 9 kittens and every. single. puppy.

Oof. 😓

So we’re asking for a do-over tomorrow. ❤️

📍 Tractor Supply Co. – Huntington
⏰ Sunday | 12–3 PM

🐱 KITTENS — ADOPTION FEES WAIVED
🐶 PUPPIES — JUST $100

The kittens can GO HOME TOMORROW. They are already spayed/neutered, vaccinated, dewormed & microchipped.

The puppies are 12 weeks old, ridiculously cute, and ready to meet the families who will take them home next week after their spay/neuter surgeries.

And listen, we know adoption events aren’t magic. We know we can’t manufacture homes out of thin air.

But again, let us gently remind you that our shelter is FULL. We have more kittens waiting to come back from foster. More animals coming through the doors. And every animal adopted tomorrow makes room for the next one who needs us.

So if you’ve been thinking about adopting, tomorrow would be a REALLY good day to do it.

Already have enough pets? Be our hype squad. Share this post. Tag your friend who keeps sending you puppy videos. Tell your neighbor. Tell your mom. Tell that coworker who “is just looking.”

We need a crowd tomorrow.

Let’s turn today’s flop into tomorrow’s “holy crap, look how many got adopted.” 🤞❤️

🚨🚨 IT’S GOING TO BE A PUPPY. AND. KITTEN. TAKEOVER. 🚨🚨

We’re loading up the van and getting ready for a TWO-day adoption event at Tractor Supply here in Huntington, and trust us… you’re going to want to be there.

🐶 10 PUPPIES!
• 7 adorable 12-week-old Plot Hound puppies
• 2 Shepherd/Pittie mix puppies (12 weeks)
• 1 extra-special Heinz 57 puppy (12 weeks)

🐱 10 KITTENS EACH DAY!
Tiny. Playful. Chaotic. Professional heart thieves.

✨ Adoption Specials:
🐾 Puppies: Just $100
🐾 Kittens: WAIVED adoption fee!

Even better…
💙 Kittens are spayed/neutered and can go home with you same day!
💙 Puppies will be ready to head to their new homes next week after their spay/neuter surgeries.

Bring your family. Bring a friend. Fall in love with a wagging tail (or ten).

⚠️ Remember: For same day adoption, you must be pre-approved to adopt. If you haven’t already, get your application in now at www.huntingtonhumane.org/adopt.

We’re counting down the hours… and we have a feeling a whole lot of forever families are about to be made. ❤️

🚨 Through August 31, adoption fees are changing.

We’re going to be completely transparent with you. Right now, 94 cats and kittens are living inside our shelter. Most of them are available for adoption.

We also have 107 more cats and kittens in foster that are healthy, growing, and ready to come back to the shelter… if only we had somewhere to put them.

And on the dog side? We have dogs. Lots of dogs. Purebred dogs, happy dogs, great with everyone and everything dogs.

But the kennel space math simply isn’t working anymore.

So through August 31:

🐾 Adult Dogs: NO ADOPTION FEE
🐾 Adult Cats: NO ADOPTION FEE
🐾 Kittens: NO ADOPTION FEE
🐾 Puppies: $100 (reduced from $200)

Let’s also be clear: Every adopter will still go through our normal application and screening process. If you’re not in a place financially, physically, or emotionally to provide a stable, loving, lifelong home, please don’t let a waived fee change your mind. Come volunteer with these kids, share our posts, support them in other ways!

But…

If you’ve been thinking about adopting…
If you’ve been waiting for “the right time”…
If you’ve been watching one of our animals from afar…

Let this be your sign.

Every adoption creates space for another life. Every empty kennel means another animal doesn’t have to wait. Every “yes” changes the story for more than just the pet you take home.

Please share this post. Tell your family. Tell your friends. Tell your coworkers. Tell your neighbors. Tell the aliens on Mars.

YOU ARE NEEDED!🏡🐶🐱

Meet Fido, the 1 year old, 40lb, Poodle!

You know those people who say, “I just want a dog that wants to hang out with me?”

Congratulations. We found him.

Fido’s favorite hobby is… you. Not tennis balls. Not showing off his impressive résumé of tricks. Just you. He’d rather trot alongside you, lean into you for attention, and politely request forehead kisses (yes, he’s oddly specific about those).

He’s playful without being over-the-top, sweet with people, gets along well with other dogs, and has done great with training. He’s already proven he can live in a home successfully.

His only crime? Being returned because another dog in the home decided they weren’t exactly roommates of the year. That’s not a Fido problem. That’s just life sometimes.

He’s still young, so yes, he gets the occasional zoomies and likes to supervise the neighborhood from the window (probably not the best apartment living kind of guy!) He’s a dog. A delightfully goofy, affectionate dog.

So if you’re looking for the kind of companion who thinks existing in the same room as you is the greatest adventure on Earth…

Fido is waiting ❤️🐾
