Sending a heartfelt THANK YOU to one of our followers (no name in package) who heard our call for litter and sent this Chewy package to our Utica location!
Our kittens are forever grateful and so are we.

Milo Update!
Our brave boy came through his eye removal surgery like a champ and is back home resting. Since we don’t want to give anyone an early Halloween scare with the post-op pics, we put our art skills to work and turned him into a pirate instead. Thank you to all who donated to Milo's care.

Be Bald and Be Free Day!
Remember Fripp, what a memorable transformation story! He arrived at the shelter almost bald due to Demodex. With rescue, love, and care, he healed and blossomed. Today, Fripp enjoys his adopted life — happy, & loved. His journey shows why rescue and adoption are crucial.

Scran is the perfect companion: affectionate, social, and loves humans. Despite being FIV+, he thrives as an only cat and it doesn't impact his lifespan or affection. He craves attention and offers endless cuddles, making him the ideal pet for someone seeking a devoted feline friend.

Mama Daisy has left the building!
We are so happy for our little wide-eyed wonder. She hit the jackpot with a wonderful family, kids to play with and even a kitten named Clover, what are the odds?!
Wishing Daisy and her family a lifetime of love and purrs.
