There's a few items we could really use right now!

If you didn't catch it, we have 101 cats currently in our care right now. We could really use kitten food and cat supplies like clumping litter!

There's a few other items we could use as well to help us along like...

💧 Distilled Water
💊 Pill Pockets
💙 Sensitive Skin & Stomach Dry Dog Food

Items can be dropped off at our shelter or shipped directly to us at:

Happy National Cat Day to all our cats! 😸

We don't have 101 Dalmatians, but we do have 101 kitties in our care right now. Our cat room is open to the public, so stop by during our regular business hours to meet some our kitties in person!

😼 We might even have some adoption specials going on.

P.S. These kittens are running us completely out of wet kitten food. We just can't keep up! Please consider donating some to help us get through our kitty cat fever. 😻 Donations can be shipped to us directly or dropped off at the shelter.

This beautiful girl needs help. 💔

Zelda got here, and we found out she was heartworm positive during her vet exam. We need someone special to help her get better before we can find her forever home. Zelda will need medication, a low stress environment, and a leash whenever outside for the next couple of months.

🩵 Now a little bit about her...

Zelda is a sweet girl that is still a little shy. She loves getting soft pets and gives kisses as a thank you. She walks well on her leash, too! Zelda girl will keep herself entertained and can't handle high-excitement activities until she finishes treatment.

🩵 Are you the caring, patient person Zelda needs to get better and find a home?
