A girl is Arya of Boone Area Humane Society, and I’m looking for a home.

Yes, just like the fierce Arya from Game of Thrones you may be thinking of, I’m ready to conquer the world. Except I’m a 4-year-old cat with a fluffy tail, much less desire for vengeance, and this holiday season, I’m on the hunt for a family who can give me the forever home I deserve.

I’m a people-loving cat, so if you’re nearby and I want your attention, I’ll let you know with a loud meow – no hesitation. But let me be clear – I’m not interested in sharing my kingdom. Other cats and dogs? Not my thing. I’m much happier as the only ruler of the house, soaking up all the attention and affection I can get.

The holidays are a time for new beginnings, and what better way to kick off the season than by welcoming a new best friend into your family? In fact, during Empty the Shelters, we were able to find homes for 7 dogs and 21 cats, thanks to the Bissell Pet Foundation!

With nine days left to Christmas, we’ve still got time to make it the most memorable one yet!

Yours,

Arya 👑🐾

Hello, lovely humans! My name is LilyMay, and I’m a sweet, cuddly little kitty who’s looking for my forever home. Libby was adopted and I’m delighted to have received the title of Meow Mayor.

I’ve been through a lot in the past year, and while it hasn’t been easy, I’m still ready to share all my love with someone special.

I was adopted about a year ago after arriving at BAHS as part of a hoarding case. Unfortunately, I was returned to the shelter a few months ago through no fault of my own. It wasn’t anything I did; sometimes life just changes. But don’t worry, I’m still full of affection and ready to be your best friend.

In fact, a generous sponsor is so ready for me to be your best friend they’ve paid my adoption fee, so I’m even free to adopt!

And if I’m not the best fit for you, we’ve got lots of other cats and dogs waiting for families! As part of , thanks to the Bissell Pet Foundation, adult cats are $10 and adult dogs are $25 to adopt! We’ve even got puppies available for adoption!

Giving Tuesday was also a great success last week. Generous people donated over $2,500 donated, with a 2X match, so BAHS really raised over $5,000! We have so many great things we’re going to be able to do with this money! Thank you so much to everyone who donated or even just shared a social media post! Us pets here don’t have families yet, but we’ve got lots and lots of friends in all of you!

Lots of love,

LilyMay 🐾❤️

💔 This morning, our team arrived at work to find something heartbreaking left outside our front door. These two frightened cats tucked into this cage were waiting for us.

We want to assure the person who made this desperate decision that the cats are safe now and will be cared for with love and compassion. However, we also want to gently remind everyone that abandonment is never the safest option for animals and it's also against the law.

If you ever find yourself in a situation where you must give up your pets, please don’t hesitate to call us first. We’re here to help, and while we don't always have room to take in every dog and cat, we’ll work with you to ensure the best outcome for your animals.

Thank you for your understanding and support. 🐾❤️

Some days you have to take a bath even if you don’t want too! Mom Marshmallow is making sure little Jack stays clean.😺

Roy and Maudie

Roy is a handsome 7-year-old black cat who's mostly blind, but don't let that fool you—he never misses a chance to find you for some love and affection. His best friend, Maudie, is a beautiful 6-year-old tortie. She may be a bit shy at first, but once she warms up, she’ll be right in your lap, soaking up all the love you can give her. These two lost their home when their owner had to move and couldn't take them along, but it's clear they were very loved. Let's help them find a new loving family where they can stay together! 🧡🐾 #AdoptRoyAndMaudie #BondedCats #ForeverHome #boonehumanesociety #adoptlove
