The Joy of Bonded Pairs
🐾 DOUBLE the love, double the purrs! 🐾
We get to hear comments like this from people who have adopted bonded pairs of furry friends from us here at Whiskers & Manes:

"I was nervous at first, but the team guided me every step of the way. Watching them curl up together or wrestle for the best window spot brings me more joy than I ever expected. They’ve brought life back into my home.”

Bonded pairs like these already know how to live, play, and comfort one another. Bringing them home together means:
✔️ Less loneliness
✔️ Built-in companionship
✔️ Easier transitions

Thinking of adopting two? Let us show you the perfect pair. ❤️

Multi-Cat Tip – Scent Swapping for Harmony
🐱 Thinking of adopting a second cat? Already have a multi-cat home that’s a bit... tense?

Here’s a game-changing technique to help ease introductions: Scent Swapping.

🛏️ Step-by-step:

Take a blanket, towel, or toy your current cat has used.

Give it to the new cat—and vice versa.

Let them sniff, nap, or play with each other's items before any face-to-face meetings.

Why it works: Cats "meet" with their noses first. Swapping scents helps reduce fear and makes future interactions more familiar and less stressful.

DIY Enrichment – The Cardboard Box Challenge!
🐾 Cheap. Simple. Loved by cats.
Here’s your next rainy-day enrichment idea: the Cardboard Box Toy Challenge!

Grab a clean cardboard box and:
🔹 Cut a few paw-sized holes in the sides
🔹 Drop in small toys, ping pong balls, or treats
🔹 Add a towel for hiding or a feather teaser for extra fun
🔹 Close the top, leave one side open—and watch the playtime magic unfold!

Why it works: this mimics their natural hunting behavior and keeps their minds sharp!

Grooming 101 – Brushing Tips for Longhair Cats
✨ Keeping your longhair cat’s coat beautiful isn’t just for looks—it’s essential for their comfort and health! ✨

Did you know that brushing your cat just twice a week can prevent painful mats, reduce shedding, and strengthen your bond?

Here’s a simple brushing routine:

Start gently around the head and neck.

Use a slicker brush to work through the body.

Follow up with a wide-tooth comb to catch any sneaky tangles.

Offer a treat afterward to make it a paws-itive experience!

🧴 Pro tip: Always brush in the direction of fur growth and be gentle around the belly and tail.

Happy Father’s Day from the Wolfe Ranch! 🐴

Here’s to the dads who teach us how to ride through the rough patches, who lead with quiet strength, and who show us what it means to be steady, kind, and present.

Whether you’re mucking stalls, fixing fences, or just showing up with a strong back and a soft heart—today we honor you.

Thank you to all the ranch dads, bonus dads, grandpas, uncles, and father figures who love big and lead well. We see you, we appreciate you, and we hope you get to kick back and enjoy a little peace today—maybe even with a horse or two by your side. 🤎

Happy Father’s Day from Whiskers & Manes! 🐾

To all the dads who fix what's broken, give the best shoulder scratches, and somehow always end up with a cat on their lap—you are purrfection. 💙

Today we honor every cat dad, horse dad, and all the amazing father figures who show up with love, patience, and treats in their pockets. Thank you for being the calm in the chaos and the safe space for so many—furry friends included.

Wishing you a day full of naps in sunbeams and unconditional love (just like your cat gives you… on their terms 😸).

🎉 Kaden Has Been Adopted! 🐾

When Kaden first came to us, he was a stray with fur matted in f***s and urine… this poor baby had clearly been through a lot. 💔 But even then, his heart was full of love.

From the moment he settled into the lounge, Kaden became everyone’s greeter—waiting by the door to welcome staff and guests with his signature sweetness. 🐱💕

We’re overjoyed to share that this incredibly social, gentle boy has found his forever home! His new mom fell in love and is ready to give him the love and care he deserves. She preferred not to be pictured, but we know her heart is full—and so is Kaden’s. 💙

Thank you to everyone who helped Kaden on his journey home.
