Meet Texas! He’s a precious two-year-old cat looking for his forever home. He thrives in calm and quiet environments where he can feel safe and receive all the love and attention he deserves. Though he may be a bit shy at first, a little time and patience go a long way! Once he warms up, his sweet, affectionate and cuddly personality shines. Texas is the perfect companion for someone looking for a gentle, loving friend to share their peaceful home with.

He also has a playful side and loves having plenty of crinkly toys and scratching posts to enjoy.

Alone, scared and hurt, little six-month-old Aspen was found outside with a broken leg. But thanks to your support, hope was just around the corner.

An orthopedic surgeon repaired her leg, giving Aspen the care she needed to start healing.

Aspen is currently resting and recuperating in a loving foster home, where she’s safe, comfortable and getting all the attention she needs to recover and grow strong and healthy. With time, patience and care, Aspen will be back to being the playful, happy puppy she’s meant to be.

Today is the last day to double your impact! Your support helps animals like Aspen get life-saving care. Donate by Dec. 2 and your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar, doubling your impact: https://bit.ly/3KlKNJY
