Meet the Mammoths 🦣

Peach and Woolemina Mammoth are 15-week-old sisters who’ve left their stray days behind to become the queens of cozy. These tiny “mammoths” specialize in warming hearts—and laps!

Woolemina (white) has a soft spot for adventure (and the fluffiest blankets), while Peach prefers to stay bundled up, sharing snuggles with her sister.

Whether together or apart, these two cuddle connoisseurs are guaranteed to keep you toasty all winter long. Adopt your own little Mammoth (or double up for twice the warmth)! 💚

Visit these two sisters at our shelter (730B Century St.)

Meet Clawsby, the talkative tabby with plenty to say! 📞

This one-year-old chatterbox was found as a stray in South St. Vital, and now he’s ready to charm his way into your heart—and your ears! Clawsby will keep you entertained with his endless “meow-nologues,” especially when he’s in the mood for snacks (which is often!).

Between his epic zoomies and snuggle sessions, Clawsby is all about keeping you company. He also enjoys the company of other cats. While Clawsby is FIV+, he is as happy as a clam, and can still live a long, happy life with the virus. He can still cohabitate safely with other spayed/neutered felines.

If you’re looking for a vocal, cuddle-loving companion who will always keep the conversation going, Clawsby’s your purrfect match!

Have a chat with Clawsby in our shelter at 730 Century St. B in Room 4 💚

Keep up with Mish! 🏃🏼‍♀️

This 1-year-old lab cross was found as a stray with her brother, Mash, when she originally came into our care in November 2023. Sweet Mish was quickly adopted as a little one, but came back to us because her previous family wasn’t ready to invest in her training. Now, she’s looking for a second chance with a patient, active family who loves the outdoors!

With lots of energy to spare, Mish would thrive with someone who can help her learn boundaries and give her the adventure-filled life she’s meant for. Mish is house trained, eager to learn, and ready to be your adventure buddy—long walks, jogs, hikes, and all!

If you think you can match Mish’s energy, visit her at our shelter, or give us a call at 204.888.2266 💚
