Cat of the month ~  

Meet Cookie!  This adorable girl is about 10 years old!    You wouldn't know it since she acts younger!  She loves treats and really would like to be the only cat so that she can be queen of the house!  

Dog of the month ~ 
This is Patchouli!  She is a lab/hound mix and just 2 years old.  She loves to play and enjoys her walks.   What a sweet, adorable girl just waiting for her family to come!

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.
