Cat of the month ~
Meet Wynonah! This beautiful, petite one year old is very kitten-like! She loves to play and run around the cat room. When she's done she will crash on a bed and bask in the sun! She is a lot of fun and just an adorable silver tabby!
Dog of the month ~
This is Oakley! He is a great big one year old puppy with a heart of gold! He loves to play fetch and enjoys playing ball. He currently is in a foster with 2 dogs and a cat! He loves to sit on the sofa with his foster family ~ especially his doggy friends. Oakley is very energetic and would love an active family!
We need your help in two ways
DONATIONS:
First, our donations are way down and we need your help. We know that this is a very difficult time for all Americans ~ job uncertainty and the possibility of illness is in all of our minds. We can only hope that you, our community, can give just a small amount to help us help the animals that cannot help themselves. We still are caring for the pets in fosters and with Spring, comes kittens (they are coming in already) and medical bills.
FOSTERS:
Second, we need foster homes ready for cats, moms and kittens, and orphaned kittens! If you have some time and a quiet area in your home, would you please consider being a foster parent? Please go to our Foster Program page to find out more!
Lots & lots of kitties!
And TEN Black Beauties
Are you ready for a little furry friend? We have wonderful kitties from 4 months to 2 years of age! We have TEN black kittens, two tuxedoes, one gray tuxedo, and a few 1 to 2 year old tabbies. And we can't forget Silver and Ivory!
Please fill out an adoption application and email to us for pre-approval! We will set up an appointment for you to come and adopt the same day!
