🐾 Meet our incredible volunteer, Sara! 🌟 Several times a week, you'll find her in our cat area, tirelessly cleaning cages and ensuring our cats have everything they need. But Sara goes above and beyond by showering them with love and affection. Just ask Coco, who went from feral to perching on Sara's shoulder!

This weekend, Sara is participating in our Shelter Slumber Pawty fundraiser! She'll be spending 24 hours hanging out with our cats, and we know they're going to adore every moment. Help us support Sara and our furry friends by donating today. Every contribution, up to $200, will be matched!

Donate here or visit Sara's fundraiser page at https://www.shelterslumberpawty.com/story/4sxanf to make a difference. Let's show Sara and our cats some love! 🐱💕

Hi friends, it's Meow Mayor Mick here, reporting for one last purr! This week, Boone's esteemed mayor, Elijah Stines - Boone Mayor paid me a visit, and I dressed to impress for our special photo op. 😸

We're teaming up to support the Shelter Slumber Pawty on April 5th, and here's how YOU can help: Donate now through the mayor's fundraising page at https://www.shelterslumberpawty.com/story/C78r9g. Donate tonight and your contribution will be doubled, up to $500! 🙀We're currently at $4,027 and we are aiming to reach $4,500 by the end of the day. Every little bit counts!

But wait, there's more good news: Sid and I have been adopted! Before we bid farewell, we've passed the Meow Mayor torch to a new dynamic duo: Gentry and Monty! Stay tuned for their introduction next week.

Thank you all for your support and love. It's been an honor serving as your Meow Mayor!

Mick and Sid 😻

When Monty arrived at our shelter back in February, he was a bit of a mystery. He preferred the highest spot in his room and kept to himself, unsure of our intentions. But fast forward to today, and you wouldn't believe the transformation! With the help of his confident BFF, Gentry, Monty has blossomed into a loving companion.

Now, Monty eagerly seeks affection and looks at you with eyes full of love. He adores every pet you give him and even returns the favor with gentle licks! Monty and Gentry have formed an inseparable bond, and we're hoping to find them a forever home together.

And while they wait for their forever home, we are naming this pair the official Meow Mayors of the shelter! Stop by and see them; we are open Wednesday - Friday from 2-5:00 pm and Saturday from noon - 4:00 pm.

Meet Fawn, a delightful 10-month-old tan-and-white mix searching for her forever home. This sweet girl is a perfect blend of calm and playful, embodying all the joys of puppyhood. Initially a bit shy, Fawn's tail starts to wag and she's all about giving kisses once she feels comfortable. If you're seeking a gentle companion ready to shower you with affection, Fawn could be the perfect match for you!

Happy from Moxie! This beautiful 7-year-old girl was initially shy when she came to the shelter, but we knew that she wanted to be friends! She is still a little hesitant when you meet her, but give her a minute and she'll be rubbing up against you begging for pets!

Moxie gets along well with the other cats in her room, including her BFF, the handsome Marlin. 😽 We are open today from noon - 4:00 pm, come meet her!

Hi friends, we’re Mick and Sid! We’re back as Meow Mayors this week!

We got our official Meow Mayor portrait taken – it’s very fitting of our personalities. You’ll see me, and then that black spot on the side is Sid! She’s a little shy, but never far away! She’ll warm up after a bit, too!

We are just a little over a week away from the Shelter Slumber Party on April 5 and less than $500 away from our next goal of $2,000! We’ve got seven volunteers who will be spending 24 hours at the shelter, including someone who said they’ll stay with Sid and me for the night! How exciting! It’s been so long since we’ve had a human to snuggle in our sleep!

We’ve got big plans for our 24 hours with the humans, including painting some pictures, watching a movie, and playing some games!

We raised over $12,000 last year and this year we are hoping to hit $15,000! Donations can be made at https://www.shelterslumberpawty.com/event/Bahs-2025 or right here on this post. 😘

I’m so excited to get to snuggle a volunteer all night – but if we find a home sooner, we can snuggle someone even before April 5!

Could it be you? Come say hi and find out!

Mick and Sid

Did you know kittens can get pregnant at just 5 months old? 😮 With kitten season here, we urge you to get your kittens fixed BEFORE they turn 5 months old. Here are 5 great reasons to get that kitten fixed by five months!

😽Spaying/neutering generally results in reduced roaming behaviors, reduced aggression and territorial marking in males, howling, and other heat-related behaviors in females.

😺Spaying kittens before five months eliminates the risk of pyometra early in life.

😽Spaying/neutering generally results in reduced roaming behaviors, reduced aggression and territorial marking in males, howling and other heat-related behaviors in females.

😼Surgeries on younger, smaller cats are shorter in duration and easier to perform.

🙀There are up to 70 million homeless cats in the US each year, many of them kittens. Shelters are inundated with kittens. While they are cute, we don't need any more kittens!

Hey everyone, it's your friendly pony-sized dog, Alfie, here! 🐴🐾 Yep, you heard right, I'm an extra-large goofball with a heart as big as my paws. Sure, I might get a tad excited and jump up to say hello (who can blame me, I'm just so happy to see you!), but once I've had my playtime, I transform into the ultimate snuggle bug. 🥰

Can you believe it? I've been hanging out at Boone Area Humane Society for 143 days now, patiently waiting for my forever family to sweep me off my paws! 🐶💕 It's true, I've become a bit of a pro at playing outside with my shelter buddies, but what I really dream of is a home where I can show off my playful side and soak up all the love you've got to give.

So, if you've got room in your heart and home for a big-hearted half pony/half dog like me, swing by the shelter and let's make magic happen! I can't wait to meet you!

Alfie 🥰

Meow Mayors

Hi friends, we’re Mick and Sid! We’re the new Meow Mayors – Honey was finally adopted! This Facebook machine was so excited to show her off! On Facebook, the video of her was viewed 108,000 times, and on Instagram, it has been viewed 417,085 times! We had people from as far away as the Netherlands, Denmark, Scotland, New South Wales, and Canada leave comments about how cute she was! I hope Sid and I are that popular one day! We’ve been here 62 days now, and while Sid tends to be a bit more reserved than I am, it works out tonight since this Facebook machine keyboard really only fits one of us at a time. Sid will warm up eventually! We’re both big fans of human attention! More pets, please!! Before she left, Honey got the staff all caught up on her plans to promote the Shelter Slumber Pawty on April 5th! Sounds like she left us some big goals for this year! We raised over $12,000 last year and this year we are hoping to hit $15,000! Donations can be made at https://www.shelterslumberpawty.com/event/Bahs2024. The staff and volunteers come in and spend 24 hours here as a fundraiser! I’m so excited to get to snuggle someone all night – but if we find a home sooner, we can snuggle someone even sooner! Could it be you? Come say hi and find out! Mick and Sid 😻😽 #ShelterSlumberPawty #MeowMayor #adoptlove

Our senior boy Tadashi got this wonderful care package from the Live Like Roo Foundation. It was so much fun giving him each treat and toy. And we’ll also be getting him a yummy snack from McDonald too!

As we say goodbye to 2024 we wanted to look back at some of the dogs and cats who came through the shelter this year. 😍
