Thank you for the reminder.

Repeating in case anyone missed it
There's still plenty of cold weather, this is a great way to help the cats you're feeding stay healthy/survive. 😽

UPDATE: Ruff Around the Edges - Dog Training and Rehabilitation had a foster family open up for Rosco!! This means he can go get the training he needs to overcome his biting. Thank you Alisha & crew!!! 😻❤️ also thank you to everyone interested in giving him a home, you can follow his progress on the Ruff Around the Edges page.

❣️Special home needed❣️

Rosco was adopted from our shelter about a year and a half ago after his owner died. He went to a busy home with children. Although they tried, they’ve resolved to the fact that they may not be the home he needs. Rosco is now nipping and biting more frequently and they now know he needs a different environment. His original owner was a single older gentleman who lived alone. We were told Rosco did well with children/animals of all kind but maybe that was in smaller doses. He doesn’t like sudden movements and is stressed by change. Rosco does great with other dogs and might like a home where he could have a dog sibling to learn from. He’s around 5-6 years old, neutered, fully vetted. He needs an *experienced* home to help curb this bad behaviour. We will not consider any homes with children. Rosco is small, around 20 pounds. He enjoys walks and car rides. He is on the wait list to potentially go to a training facility but we’ve decided to post incase a perfect home can be found.

Seriously applicants only please! He is a dog who will need work. If you’re interested in adopting Rosco direct your applications to Ruff Around the Edges.

A very sad series of events had this healthy senior cat facing euthanasia this morning. Luckily we were able to intervene and save his life. He may end up spending Christmas in the shelter but that is far better than the alternative. Sweet Shady is a neutered male 8-10 years old. He is a huuuge fella, tall and solid! He did live with a dog in his past and doesn’t seem to have a reaction to cats. Shady is available for adoption at a discounted fee in hopes he can find a comfortable place to live out the rest of his days. He has no known health problems and 8-10 is hardly senior for most kitties. He has lots of love to give, has only just arrived but is already very receptive to the staff and volunteers. Shady’s so hopeful that all this Christmas magic might throw one more Christmas miracle our way and land him in a home! 🤞🙏✨
Please share his post and if you’re interested in adopting don’t let him sit in a cage if he doesn’t have to! 🥹💚💔

The saddest update right before Christmas!! The golden girls may end up back in the shelter if they can’t find a new home ASAP. Their owner is unable to care for them now and although heartbroken must let them go. Please read their original post below, share and tag anyone who may be interested in adopting them. At 15 they need a cozy home for Christmas and forever more! 💔💚

🧡🥲 The golden girls 🥹🧡

Mya & Hawkins are the SWEETEST senior sissies you’ll ever meet. At 15 years young 2 fluffy orange gals have ended up in the shelter through no fault of their own. First of all.. they really don’t seem 15! They have no known health issues, they’re both spayed, in good condition and are as loveable as can be. The girls rush to the front of the cage for pets and love. 😻 It’s really sad when any senior animal comes to the shelter. Their golden years should be spent being pampered, spoiled and cherished! Please help Mya & Hawkins find just that.. the retirement home of their dreams! The girls would be ok with quiet animals who would be “on their level” aka keep to themselves, very chill and not rambunctious.

If you’re interested in adopting them, there is no adoption fee! We just want them to find the best, most comfortable forever home as fast as possible. 💗🤞

HAPPY UPDATE 😭❤️
Well.. it turns out Bella didn’t have to spend one single night in the shelter. Bella’s groomer Andrea saw her posted online and immediately set things into motion. After working all day she drove through the storm to get her saying she couldn’t stand to have her there alone. Bella knew Andrea right away and started crying and jumping on her with joy. Bella, Andrea and myself were all in tears and I had to take a little video.. https://youtube.com/shorts/JxQe5D8FDbU?si=90jCCYBmu8H3Dk5p

Bella will have the best happy ever after with a human she already loves so much!! 🥹❤️💚

❣️UPDATE❣️ ADOPTED! ❤️😭 Thank you to everyone who applied!! Bella was adopted by her groomer!! Watch her get adopted here! She’s so happy now: https://youtube.com/shorts/JxQe5D8FDbU?si=lq5XcFbHXXk8W_9s ❤️❤️❤️

Hold onto your hearts - Bella has lost the only home she’s ever known after her owner sadly passed away. 😭💔 She is confused, heartbroken and grieving. Some say dogs dont have feelings? Say that while looking into Bella’s eyes. For 7 years she’s been a spoiled member of the family in a comfy home and now, just before Christmas, she is at our shelter. A sensitive soul like her needs comfort and extra love to get through a transition like this. She needs a home NOW! Let’s find her one!! Bella is a 7 year old, spayed, chubby Beagle/Basset Hound mix. She is very gentle, docile and sweet, eeyore vibes! 🥹 She is great with other animals - cats and dogs. Said to love all humans. She is so perfect and absolutely needs to find the best home IMMEDIATELY! Please share and tag anyone who can help her.

ADOPTED!

Come on Santa, come on Christmas magic 🎅🏻✨

Lilly has been waiting for 153 days for a home hating her surroundings! 💔 She is Catmas cat #2 meaning she has had the second longest wait in the shelter. She truly wants to be the only pet in the household. As you can see, she has her cage wide open now but she doesn’t want to be near other cats. There’s only 4 others in the room and it’s too many for Lilly. Lilly is 2 years old, spayed, fully vaccinated and tested negative for FIV/FeLV. She is the full package just uncomfortable here. We know she will truly blossom in a home where she’s the only pet. 🙏✨ There’s been multiple applications for Beverly, Mistletoe… now we need someone for Lilly! 🤞🩷💚❤️

Tag anyone who might be the perfect fit to spoil our sweet Lilly cat, get her out of the shelter where she’s miserable and into her happy ever after just in time for Christmas!

UPDATE: Lilly’s adoption fee has been sponsored in hopes she can find the perfect home! 🥹❤️

You won’t believe it.. the most adorable cat shaped Christmas elf arrived at the shelter!! 🙀✨ Her name is Mistletoe and she is FULL of Christmas spirit! She is the most prancy, fancy, dancey little kitty you’ll ever find. At only 2 years old she’s just a baby herself! She loves people and stands on her back tippy toes to get your attention. To make her EVEN CUTER Mistletoe has no tail.. just a crumpled little p**f where a tail should be! Clearly she’s a one of a kind magical cat shaped Christmas elf sent to make someone’s Christmas (and forevermore) incredibly special. If that someone is you and your family please apply at the link below! ❤️💚🥰
