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.
