Double the trouble, double the fun. Everyone knows that two is better than one! 🐾🐈

Did you know that adopting kittens in pairs can help support their behavioral and emotional development?

Despite the common belief that cats are solitary animals, they’re actually incredibly social beings who thrive when they have feline friends from an early age. Check out this helpful article from the Kitten Lady on the benefits of adopting kittens in pairs: http://www.kittenlady.org/twokittens

Right now we have two pairs of brothers who would just LOVE to go to a fur-ever home together. If you are interested in meeting them, stop by during our open hours to say hi. Maybe you might just fall in love! 😻

Show of hands ✋: Who has had a black cat cross their path?
How many of you have been doomed to a life of bad luck? Didn't think so!

Black cats shouldn’t get a bad rap just because they look sneaky. In fact, did you know they’re considered good luck in many cultures? In Scotland, it’s lucky for a strange black cat to arrive at your doorstep. In Japan, the black cat meaning is associated with helping single women find suitors. There are a lot of silly black cat superstitions out there, but most of the world acknowledges black cats as cute—not creepy.

We think it's about time to end the negative superstitions around black cats, and highlight how loving, playful and silly they really are!

We currently have 7 (also lucky!) black cats up for adoption at LAHS. Come check them out and maybe one will be the purr-fect fit for your home. 🥰🖤
