Still available for adoption and as sweet as can be! Give your children a stress reliever for when they get home from a tough day school. It’s scientifically proven that the purring noise from a cat is a stress reliever. 😉

📚✏️ Back to School with Purr-fect Study Buddies! ✏️📚

As the kids head back to class, it’s the purr-fect time to add some extra sweetness to your routine! Meet Alley (short for Algebra) and Geo (short for Geometry) — two adorable 5-month-old sibling kittens who are ready to graduate into their forever homes!

📌 Alley – A brown tabby and white female with a curious mind and a heart full of snuggles.
📌 Geo – A black and white male who’s playful, observant, and a little class clown at heart.

Both kittens are:
✔️ Up to date on vaccines
✔️ Spayed & neutered
✔️ Microchipped
✔️ Given flea prevention

They’re the A+ addition your home has been missing! Whether you’re a math lover or just looking for loving companions, Alley & Geo are ready to enroll in your heart. 🐾

🐾 Why You Should Adopt TWO Kittens Instead of One 🐾

We get it — one kitten is cute, but two? That’s double the love, double the fun, and actually better for them (and you)! Here’s why:

1️⃣ Built-in Playmate

Kittens are full of energy. Two kittens will entertain each other, which means less mischief (and fewer curtain-climbing adventures) for you to manage.

2️⃣ Healthy Social Development

Kittens learn boundaries, bite control, and how to “cat” by playing with each other. It helps prevent behavioral issues later in life.

3️⃣ Less Loneliness = Less Anxiety

A pair keeps each other company when you’re away. No more lonely cries from the other room or acting out for attention.

4️⃣ They’ll Bond for Life

Siblings or pairs raised together often form lifelong friendships — it’s incredibly heartwarming to watch!

5️⃣ Double the Cuteness, Same Routine

Feeding, cleaning, and vet care are nearly the same for two as for one — but with twice the snuggles.

⸻

💰 Bonus: Many shelters offer discounted adoption fees for pairs!
📍At Shelby County Animal Control, you can adopt two kittens for just $75 total (normally $50 each)!

🚨 Incoming Kittens 🚨
These little ones are on their way to us — and they don’t deserve to grow up in the system.

They should be playing in sunbeams, chasing toys, and learning what love feels like in a forever home — not waiting behind bars.

Let’s change their story before it even begins.
If you’ve been thinking about adopting, now is the time. 💛
