It’s an incredible crew of 28 staff and over 400 volunteers that make the League the special place that it is (and this is a very small portion of those awesome people - so if you got better pics of todays picnic, share them in the comments!).

We are CLOSED today for our Staff and Volunteer Appreciation Picnic (yes, it is going to rain for the entire thing. Apparently Mother Nature doesn't appreciate us quite as much as we appreciate ourselves ...)

ANYWHO, plan to adopt your best friend, foster your best friend, or take your best friend for a field trip TOMORROW during our regular hours (12-7pm).

And if you have had a particularly WONDERFUL experience with League staff and volunteers that you want to share, shout them out in the comments! (maybe Mother Nature is listening ...)

Help, the babies are hungry! We have lots of kitten bottle babies in foster (and more calls to take them in every day!). We are in desperate need of PetAg brand KMR formula powder. If you can, please donate this literal lifesaver so our hero bottlefeeder fosters can keep doing what they do best, saving our baby kittens! You can find PetAg KMR at Chewy, Amazon, and pet supply stores.

If you think Sunny looks bad, you should see the other guy ...

[the other guy is demodex mange; calici virus; mycoplasma ... this boy's immune system wasn't serving him well, so stray kitty life ain't for him!]

Shirley's not mad, just disappointed.

This beautiful girl has been in a shelter more than half of her life - TWO YEARS she's been at the League (and came from another shelter before that).

She is the first to greet you when you walk into Cat Room 7.

She is great with the other cats.

She doesn't know what else a girl *has to do* to get noticed around here!

This girl deserves to be more familiar with a family than with a room in a shelter - help us give that to her

Did you know, at our weekly vaccine clinic, your pet can get its DaPP/FVRCP (distemper) vaccine for FREE?!?

Thanks to 's "Vaccinated and Loved" campaign, the League distributes these critical vaccines to our area's pets at no cost to you! Pets who come through our vaccine clinic (Fridays from 11-1) or our spay/neuter clinics are eligible for the vaccine.

For dogs, the DaPP vaccine protects against Distemper, Adenovirus, Parvo, and Parainfluenza (these can be fatal, especially in puppies!).

For cats, the FVRCP vaccine protects against feline Herpes, Calici, and Panleukopenia (really nasty bugs!).

These are the most important vaccines your pet can get - they should get them boostered every 3-4 weeks as kittens/puppies; and annually as adults.

Get yours this Friday from 11am-1pm at the League (4193 Taylor Road, Batavia). No appointment necessary; no vet visit fee; no geographic restrictions (pets from any county welcome).

It's always a bummer when an adoptive home isn't a forever home.

But in this case, Applejack came back to us, after a year in a home, emaciated; battling a serious infection; and feeling overall really crummy.

This is the right place for her right now; and we'll find the best place for her when she feels better

Badger didn't know, when he went into a foster home for the weekend, that his whole world was about to change.

Foster mom Sarah didn't know, when she went to Little Miami Brewing for a relaxing afternoon, she would give Badger the thing he needed most in this world.

But worlds collided, and Badger happened to meet his new family (Badgers fans from Wisconsin!) while out for a fun afternoon at a local brewery.

It's onto Wisconsin for this boy - Go Badger(s)!

But most importantly, go awesome foster families

Samoa got adopted after we took this picture, but we refuse to keep it to ourselves, because COME ON!

(Samoa is a super friendly lady who absolutely did not tolerate you leaving her room without proper attention paid to her).

Happy life little one - we're glad you took your future into your own paws
