👻 Rex here with a spooky announcement!

Today’s your last chance to adopt before Halloween — after that, adoptions are on pause until November 1st. Don’t panic, though! We’re still accepting applications, and you can absolutely come meet the animals. They just won’t be heading to their forever homes until the ghosts and goblins have cleared out.

Rex says it’s for everyone’s safety — after all, no one wants to risk getting adopted by a vampire or a werewolf. He’s seen the movies.

So if you’ve been thinking about adding a new four-legged friend, stop by today or come meet them this week. Once the Halloween fog lifts, they’ll be ready to go home faster than you can say “trick or treat!”

🐾 Wet Cat & Kitten Food Needed! 🐾

Paul is here to tell you that we’re in the heart of kitten season, and our little furballs are eating all the food quickly! Our cats and kittens are running low on wet food, and we need your help to keep their tummies full and happy. 🐱💛

You can help by donating wet food directly or by sending items from our Amazon wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/18RMY8PNJ5HIZ?ref_=wl_share

Every can counts and helps our tiny friends thrive while they wait for their forever homes.

Thank you for always helping us keep our animals fed!

🎉✨ Adoption Celebration! ✨🎉

Orion has FINALLY found her forever home!

From shy and moody to a total cuddler (with her signature sass), she’s ready for a lifetime of love and snuggles.

We’re also thrilled to share that we’ve passed our adoption goal for the month with 13 adoptions already! We’d love to see 4 more lucky pets find homes before Friday, which is when we pause adoptions until after Halloween.

Let’s make this week extra special for our furry friends! 🐾💛

What a purr-fect turnout! 🧘‍♀️🐾

We had an incredible time at Cat Yoga this weekend — thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make it such a success! 💛

This was our very first full house, and while we learned there are a few improvements we’ll be making for next time, we’re so grateful for everyone’s patience and positive energy.

And of course, a few of our playful kittens absolutely stole the show — they had the best time showing off their stretches! 🐱✨

We can’t wait to bring you an even better experience at our next session.

One of our eligible bachelors was live on WABI this morning, and he was soaking up all the attention!

Paul is 10 years old and looking for love, somewhere he can retire and relax while getting snuggles. Could you be his forever home?
