📸Picture day bloopers!📸
Lucille, Stacey, and Ambrose didn’t realize today was picture day. They weren’t quite prepared for the perfect shot, but these bloopers will do for now.
All three of these friendly adult females are looking for their forever home (and hopefully a redo on their photoshoot)!

🙀We’ve officially run out of our cats’ favorite enrichment🙀
These handy little scratchers attach right to the kennel doors, so they don’t take up any floor space but still give our cats something to stretch, scratch, and play with all day long! Enrichment like this is so important for our cats’ mental and physical well-being. It helps reduce stress, keeps their claws healthy, and makes their stay here a little more comfortable while they wait for their forever homes 🏠🐈

We’d love to give one of these scratchers to every cat that comes through our doors, but with almost 600 cats a year and the scratchers being single-use, we’re always in need of more! For anyone who’d be gracious enough to chip in, you can order from the link below and have them sent directly to us. Our cats (and staff!) will be so grateful 💕

Pit Bull Awareness Month may be in October, but our special starts now!
Showcased are our Pittie (and pittie mix) 6: Jasmine, Moira, LeeLou, Cody, Ella and Mike. To celebrate these block-headed sweethearts, their adoption fees are HALF OFF starting today and stay half off until each is adopted. 🐾💙

Why pitties? Goofy grins, loyal hearts, world-class snugglers. They shine with routine, love, and a cozy couch.

This stunning mama and her hauntingly adorable kittens are now available for adoption and are hopeful to find their forever homes just in time for Halloween 👻
They may have names fit for a scary movie, but their only trick is stealing hearts, and maybe a few treats 😉 Soft purrs, mysterious eyes, and endless snuggles; beware, you might fall in love at first sight!
