🐾Foster or Adopter Needed for Caramel Latte 🐾
Meet Caramel Latte, a sweet senior girl searching for a loving foster or forever home.
This affectionate cat has had a difficult journey. She was found living on the streets with a front leg that can no longer be used, and she’s currently underweight and could use some extra care and good meals to help her regain strength.
Despite her challenges, Caramel Latte is full of love. Her favorite things are curling up on a warm lap, enjoying plenty of cuddles, and happily munching on canned food. She deserves a safe, comfortable place where she can spend her golden years surrounded by kindness.
If you can foster or adopt Caramel Latte, please call (209) 604-2649 to learn more.
Please share to help this special girl find the home she deserves. ❤️🐱

🎆 Prepare Before the 4th of July Boom! 🎆

Did you know that more pets go missing on the 4th of July than any other day of the year? Loud fireworks can frighten even the calmest pets, causing them to run away from home.

🐾 Protect your pet with a microchip!

The City of Turlock is offering:

✅ FREE microchips for Turlock residents
✅ $5 microchips for non-residents

A microchip is a safe, permanent form of identification that greatly increases the chances of being reunited with your pet if they become lost.

Don’t wait until the fireworks start—take action now to help ensure your pet makes it safely through the holiday.

❤️ Help us help you recover your pet if they ever go missing.

For more information, contact your local animal services team.

🚨 WE NEED YOU — ASTRO IS AT CAPACITY 🚨

Our kennels are FULL. Every single one.

Kittens are arriving faster than we can keep up, and our dedicated staff are stretched to their absolute limit. These tiny lives need food, clean kennels, and gentle hands — and right now, we simply don’t have enough of them.

We are putting out an urgent call for volunteers to help in the mornings on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays to assist with:

🧹 Kennel cleaning (disclaimer: this is hard, dirty work)
🍼 Feeding kittens
💛 General care & socialization

Minimum age: 16 please.

If you’ve ever thought about volunteering with ASTRO — now is the time. Even a few hours makes a life-saving difference.
You can fill out our volunteer interest form at https://www.astrofoundation.org/volunteer-interest-form

Check out our friend Toby up at Second Chance Cocker Rescue! He’s cute as a button and desperately needs a home where he can be an only doggy. Please share and let’s try to find him a home for summer!

🍀 Toby is still waiting for his lucky break… could it be you? 🍀

Toby is the kind of dog who makes people smile the moment they meet him. He’s a happy, goofy, love-everyone kind of guy with a big personality packed into a small, bouncy body.

One of Toby’s favorite things in the world? Jumping right into your arms for a hug. Yes, he’s a professional cuddle jumper and he takes that job very seriously.

This silly boy is also full of fun energy. He loves to run, jump, climb, and zoom around, so he’d make an amazing running buddy or agility partner for someone who wants a dog that’s always ready for the next adventure.

Toby loves meeting new people and does great with other dogs. Cats, however, are a little too exciting for him and he thinks they’re toys.

The only thing missing from Toby’s life is his own person. He’s been waiting at the sanctuary far longer than he should, and we’re really hoping St. Patrick’s Day brings him the luck he deserves. Even fostering will help him AND allow us to rescue more pups.

If you can’t adopt, please share Toby’s post. Sometimes just one share is all it takes for the right person to see him.

Toby is currently in Jamestown, CA
