🐾 Meet Phineas — the foster who’s stealing hearts left and right 💛

We want to introduce you to Phineas, a 3‑year‑old neutered male kitty who has completely charmed his foster… and us too.

His foster shared the sweetest things about him:

“Phineas is genuinely the perfect cat if I’ve ever met one.”
“He matches his owner’s vibe — he’ll snuggle and hang out, but he also loves to play.”
“He purrs constantly, loves to be pet, and he’s super vocal and funny.”
“He’ll do anything for a treat!”

Phineas is healthy, potty trained, affectionate, and full of personality. His foster doesn’t have kids or other pets at home, but said:

“I can’t imagine him having any issues with them — he’s just that easygoing.”

He does love attention (as any pet should!) and thrives when he’s included, loved on, and part of the family.

If you’re looking for a cat who brings joy, companionship, and a whole lot of charm, Phineas might be your perfect match.

🐾❤️ Local Businesses: Want to Help Shelter Pets One Coin at a Time? ❤️🐾

The TMAS Foundation is looking for local businesses willing to host a TIP Jar and help us give shelter pets a second chance!

🐾 TIP = Tiny Investments Providing a Jumpstart to Animal Recovery

Currently, 100% of the donations collected through our TIP Jars will go directly toward heartworm treatment for dogs at TMAS.

Heartworm disease is one of the biggest reasons amazing, loving dogs are overlooked in the shelter. Many of these dogs are ready for a family—they just need treatment first.

❤️ Together, we can change that.

We're looking for businesses willing to place a small donation jar near their register or checkout area. We handle all collections and will stop by monthly to empty the jars (or sooner if they fill up!).

The best part? We'll be sharing updates and celebrating each time enough funds are raised to cover another dog's treatment, so everyone can see the impact they're making.

🐶 Spare change may not seem like much, but it can become life-saving treatment, a second chance, and a forever home.

If your business would be interested in hosting a TIP Jar, send us a message or comment below and we'll get in touch!

Meet Mimi, the sweetest little lady currently soaking up love in her foster home — and she’s so ready to find her forever person 💛

Mimi is a 6‑year‑old, chatty queen with a heart as soft as her purrs. Her foster says she’s still warming up to her new space, but goodness… she is blossoming beautifully. This girl is cuddly, gentle, and kind in every way. She’ll trot right up to greet you at the door, purring like a tiny motor and even letting out the cutest little grunt-giggle sound that is impossible not to adore.

Her daily agenda includes:

• Napping — professional level
• Loafing — elite tier
• Meowing — sweet, soft, and full of personality
• Hanging_out — she just wants to be near her people
• Eating — a girl’s gotta snack

And here’s something incredibly special:
Her foster has personally purchased a litter box, cat carrier, wet and dry food, a bowl stand, tiny toys, and litter — all completely FREE to whoever adopts her. She wants Mimi’s new family to start off with everything they need to make her feel at home.

If you’d like to meet this precious, purring, giggle-grunting sweetheart, give us a call to set up a meet & greet. Mimi can’t wait to love someone forever. 💛🐾
