It’s still National Adopt a Shelter Cat Month and this Whisker Wednesday feature: Zaddy 😏

We may have missed Father’s Day, but everyday is Zaddy’s day. Zaddy is currently accepting applications for the role of “person who gives me head scritches and tells me I’m handsome.”

After spending time surviving on the streets, Zaddy is ready to retire from outdoor adventures and settle into a quieter life. Despite the tough-guy name, he’s actually a sensitive soul. New situations can make him shy, but once he feels safe, he’ll reward you with headbutts and affection.

If you’re looking for a sweet tabby with a little swagger and a lot of heart, Zaddy might just be your guy ✨

A foster home can change everything 🐶

This June, during National Foster a Pet Month, we’re looking for dog foster volunteers.

How we feel about tomorrow being Monday…

Meet Abram 🐱
Abram may experience the world a little differently, but that doesn’t slow him down one bit.

Born with very limited vision and hearing, Abram navigates life with confidence, curiosity, and a whole lot of love.

He’s a sweet, affectionate young cat who loves people, enjoys companionship, and proves every day that special needs pets are just pets who need a chance. While Abram may require some ongoing medical care, what he gives in return is immeasurable
