This sweet senior guy is looking for a foster home! Please consider taking him in while he recovers. We can already tell he’s a fighter and would flourish with some love. Reach out to the Lakewood Animal Shelter if you’re interested!

Highly Requested Update on Our Sweet Senior Boy 💛🐾

Yesterday, we welcomed a very special geriatric cat into our care. He was immediately taken to the vet, where he received much-needed medical attention, including medication and treatment for an infection. He is severely emaciated and clearly has been through a lot—but we’re already seeing signs of hope.

Today, we’re happy to share that he has perked up! His resilience is truly heartwarming, and we’re optimistic about his recovery.

We are currently in the midst of a 72-hour hold to allow time for a possible owner to come forward. After that, we will be looking for a compassionate, experienced long-term foster to help him continue his rehabilitation in a loving home environment.

If you’re interested in fostering this sweet soul and helping him heal, please give us a call at (216) 529-5020! Your support could mean the world to him. 💛

Look at this pretty lady! She’s been patiently waiting at the shelter for her forever home for over a month! Stella is ready to get lots of cuddles and love from her forever family!

CAT AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION!

Stella is a 2-year-old domestic short hair female with a heart as soft as her sweet little purrs. While she may have a shy side, you’ll often find her nuzzled under her blanket, cozy and content. But once she’s out of her cage, her affectionate personality shines through—she loves to be pet, will rub up against you for attention, and doesn’t mind being held either!

She’s the perfect mix of calm and cuddly, with an adorable puffed tail that gives her a little extra flair. Stella is an absolute cutie with so much love to give, and she’s just waiting for the right person to bring her home.

If you’re looking for a gentle, loving companion to share quiet moments and sweet snuggles, Stella might just be your perfect match.

Come meet her and let her steal your heart!

If you are interested in Stella, please call the Shelter at (216) 529-5020.
Our Cat Adoption Fee is $75 and includes:
• Spay
• First FVRCP and Rabies Vaccination
