Congratulations 🎉🎊🎉 to Winston (formerly known as Hawkeye) and Tabitha on finding their forever home together! These two seniors were found abandoned in an apartment, then surrendered to a kill shelter. We took them in, and now they have a loving, true forever home for Christmas and many holidays to come!

They are currently cuddled up in their new owner's lap, purring and enjoying every bit of endless love. Happy, long lives sweet angels!💕🎄

Congratulations 🎉🎊🎊 🎉 to Rosalie on finding her forever home! Rosalie came to us very sick after losing her original owner at the beginning of this year. After lots of tlc, Rosalie perked up and longed for a home of her own again. AND now this sweet darling has her home for Christmas and forever. She will be so loved by her new mom. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you Rosalie!💕🎄

Please share!💓

Meet Stellaluna...the darling dear with the biggest eyes with quite a tale. Stellaluna was found by a good Samaritan outside injured, and then taken to a shelter. The shelter vet found that this poor angel had a fractured spine. At the time, Stellaluna was unable to use her hind limbs and unable to urinate, causing her bladder to overfill. No owners came forth. She was to be euthanized due to lack of care the shelter could provide.💔 We took this sweet angel in, and now Stellaluna has movement in her hind legs & is able to urinate on her own. She is still handicapped waist down, unable to pick her hind legs up fully, and we perform bladder expression 4-5 times daily to help her urinate successfully and not on herself. She has healed from the recent injuries that caused her handicap and is in no pain. It is uncertain if more of her movement will come back to her legs. We can only keep trying to ensure she has every chance.💕

Stellaluna overall is a healthy, vibrant, curious cat. She does seem to have one major issue, though...she is ADDICTED to love!!!💜 This girl will follow you everywhere, scooting across the floor to get to you. She is happiest if she is by your side or in your lap. OHHH, and she LOVES soft blankets. Not just to lie on them, but to burrow underneath them to sleep.😅Adorable?!!! Stellaluna is very playful, always eager to chase toy wands and dangling strings.

This joyful girl needs minimal care with the right experienced owners. She would do well in diapers to avoid potty accidents on floor until owners are able to express her bladder and give her a sanitation wipe. Stellaluna may not be the typical cat care, but by no means is she a burden or a hassle. She is absolutely perfect, and she most of all needs the most perfect home. Share and help her find warmth, love, and a family for Christmas!!!🎄🩵

Congratulations 🎊 🎉🎊🎉🎊to Molly and Valerie on finding their perfect homes this weekend! Home for the holidays 🎄💕

Molly, a s***ky princess, is very settled in her new home already. Her mom was ecstatic to bring her home. Molly has a feline brother who recently lost his best friend. We just know that the ever-so-bubbly Molly will become his new bestie in no time!

Valerie, a gentle soul, had been with us 3 years, always overlooked due to her timid nature. Her new mom and dad knew instantly that she was the one. She allowed for pets, then gave her belly for rubbums, then purred. Valerie too now has a feline brother who recently lost his best friend. What a wonderful new friend he now has in sweet Valerie!💗

Happy, long lives sweet angels!!!🥰

Congratulations 🎊 🎉🎊🎉🎊 to Boone!!! From a kill shelter, to a rescue, to now a HOME!😻 Boone swooned his new family and now has a loving, forever home for Christmas and all holidays to come!!! Boone wasn't shy at all and went right up to his new family for rubbums and cuddles. He will be a cherished boy by his 2 new little humans and his mom and dad. Happy, long life you sweetest boy. You deserve it!❤️😻

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our human & Furry friends! We're thankful for all of you. 🥰😻

Keep in mind our furry friends can't always safely share our food. Here are a few things to keep in mind. 💓

🎉🎉🎉Congratulations to Meeko and Alex on finding their forever home together yesterday!!!

These two gorgeous boys look just alike but aren't even related...that we know of😅. Meeko, 2 1/2 years old, and Alex, 1 1/2 years old, bonded instantly once Alex came to us. Both darlings came to us at different times but from the same kill shelter, awaiting euthanasia.💔

Meeko has been waiting patiently since November 2022 for his forever home. Alex came to us last year very sick with a kitty cold and a botfly in his neck. Once Alex was well, these amazing boys decided they should be besties! And how even more amazing is it that they were adopted together by a fantastic family with two little kids that adore cats! Meeko was instantly smitten with his new little human and rubbed all over her.

Another happily-ever-after ending!!! Now see if you can tell who is who in the pics. Don't cheat and look at the captions!😅

Happy, love lives you stunning angels!💕

🤩Please share, we still need FOSTERS for several adult cats!!😍

Fosters needed, if you're in the Ellijay, Georgia & surrounding areas, please consider filling out or foster application. We cannot continue to save cats without help. THANK YOU!!

UPDATE on the two cats we shared last week that desperately needed to get out of the winter weather: They are SAFE with a temporary foster! Huge thank you to the animal lover who jumped through hoops to get them help, everyone who shared, commented, and especially donated, and of course our temporary foster. THANK YOU ALL!

We've named them Xander (gray, male) and Nxy (black, female). They'll be going in for their vet appointments soon! Here's what our foster has to say so far:

I have no idea how these two survived with little human affection, they are thirsty for love! Xander was a little nervous; his back legs actually shook with fear as he stretched forward for pets when he first came in. He does like to sing the song of his people a few times a day, but he's not very loud. He purrs on contact and loves to rub and snuggle. Such a sweetheart! Nyx is equally sweet and will even roll on her back for belly rubs. She is a little purr box who jumps for pets and can be vocal as well. They're acquaintances but not really friends. They would have no problem being separated.

Please consider fostering or adopting one or both of these love bugs! We'll put their Petfinder links in the comments!

Please share for the handsome Cletus!

Meet Cletus! A giant, gorgeous boy who is extra fluffy, extra purry, and super zen. Cletus is a calm boy who just wants to relax and enjoy pets. We do know Cletus is very used to people, not knowing a stranger at all. He clearly has been shown love and kindness at some point, but poor Cletus, after living outside (unneutered) for who knows how long, found himself surrendered at a kill shelter. Cletus is now neutered, and sadly he is felv/fiv +. Feline leukemia and feline aids is not a death sentence. It just means the animal is immunocompromised and doesn't need to live outside just to possibly catch kitty colds and other illnesses. Immunocompromised animals take longer to heal from getting sick. Unfortunately, most felv/fiv+ cats go overlooked by many adopters. They need our love and a home too!💔

This 5 year old sweetheart needs a home that will love him wholeheartedly and for his entire life. With the right care, many felv/fiv+ cats can live a long, full life. Can you give this sweet soul endless happiness?

Happy Tuesday from Tabor, a giant teddy bear!❤️🧸

Tabor, large but not so in charge, is a gentle giant. He's a lover through and through and has no desire to be a macho kind of guy. Tabor is a tender, timid soul that needs time to warm up to show his greatest qualities: goofy, s***ky, playful, and cuddlebug-lounge pro. Don't expect a mighty roar from this lion! Mouse chirps are all you'll hear whether he's excited, hungry, or just being silly.

Tabor needs a quiet home-life. He's too much of a wallflower when it comes to a large crowd. He likes a more intimate gathering of close friends. No party animal here! BUT Tabor absolutely loves cool, calm feline friends, and calm dogs! He has many friends here, since he's so genial. Why they have even voted him: Mr. Congeniality! Would you care to be his bestie too?...

Urgent plea for help! **In desperate need of fosters!**

We've been contacted about these two sweet babies needing a place to land after their human passed away, and they were left to fend for themselves outside. Neighbors have been feeding them but can't take them in due to severe cat allergies & dogs that see them as prey. Let's get them in before winter really sets in! 🥶😿 We are ready & willing to take them but need a foster & funds.

If you haven't fostered for us yet, please fill out our free application here: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/foster/FPR/Cat

Jippy went to his vet appointment yesterday! He was a little nervous but all purrs. The vet stated Jippy has ocular adhesion on both eyes from past untreated eye infections & ulcers caused most likely by feline herpes virus, and the right eye has corneal ulcers. The vet agreed to try the eye treatment, blood eye serum. The vet is hopeful his left eye, though vision blurred, can stay intact as long as no apparent discomfort shows. The vet was concerned that his right eye may need to be removed if no improvement and if chronic ulceration may occur. We are going to see how he responds to a 5 day treatment. If any positive response, Jippy will go back to the vet next week for more eye serum to further his progress!🤞❤️

Jippy's vet visit wasn't all too frightening. He was enticed with 2 churu treats as they drew his blood. After giving blood like a champ, he impatiently asked for the rest of the churu treats!😅 See pics of Pippy's vet trip. Just look at how he poses for the camera! He's just perfectly imperfect.❤️

Thank you wholeheartedly to all that donated & supported Jippy!!! To continue to support Jippy and our other furbabies for the holidays, check out our Amazon & Chewy wish lists!💜

Please share😊

Gypsy (formerly known as Boston) is our little mischievous, loveable goof. This s***ky doll came to us from a kill shelter as an owner surrender. Sadly, this happens all too often.💔Gypsy was very spicy and nervous being in such a new and loud environment, but once with us, she tamed her spice levels to just a mischievous little s***k!

Gypsy is such a lover, wanting to be at your side constantly. She enjoys monitoring feeding times, ensuring you're preparing meals correctly. 😅 Her mischievous nature urges her to turn off the lights for a little giggle or just for attention. This bright-eyed joy will not be ignored! Gypsy will entice you to adore her with her playful chirps, doe-eyes, and gentle paw taps as she reaches for hugs. Gypsy, you have bewitched us, heart and soul. Will you be her heart, and adopt?!

Gypsy is good with calm dogs and calm cats but will do well as a single queen of the house!

Good golly Miss Molly! You sure are a treat! This gentle, kind hearted black beauty is ready to come home with you. All she wants for Christmas is you!!! Molly is an expert snuggle bug, the sweetest cat, an absolute joy. Did we mention also a s***ky and curious extrovert? She's ready to come hang out on your lap, enjoying quiet evenings at home with her human/s, but she enjoys some fun social gatherings as well! Quite the attention seeker. 5yrs old and as spry as a teen, ready to play and explore. Yes, what a bright-eyed delight!

Darling Molly found herself in a high kill shelter when her owner passed away, and her family surrendered her and two others, Ginger and Bella. Ginger and Bella were adopted together shortly after, but Molly is still here, dreaming of her very own family to be her true forever! Be her hero and happily-ever-after?💕

Thankful for our past & present Military Veterans!

Did you know that cats are soothing & beneficial for people with anxiety and or PTSD? Their purrs (and the act of petting them) release oxytocin, the bonding hormone which reduces anxiety & creates calm. Their purrs can also help quiet the mind, as you focus on the sounds. They also stimulate the release of endorphins, which can be helpful in reducing pain.

Dogs have long been touted for their abilities to reduce depression. Did you know that one of the biggest ways dogs help depression is through walks? It's super important for both you & your furry friend to get out & grab some fresh air & sunshine. Dogs also offer comfort, provide distractions from anxious thoughts, and also release oxytocin - that sweet feeling bonding hormone.

In the market for some oxytocin boostin' purr boxes? Check out our Petfinder page for a few of our available babies!

Share for Jippy!🩵 (warning graphic pics)

Poor Jippy came to us with rough eyes. 😞 He has ulcers and possible scarring. We do know that he can see, because he zooms to you for affection and loves chasing toys. Though, his vision is clearly impaired, Jippy sees nothing but love and happiness. This darling 11 month old boy is full of purrs, zoomies, and cuddles. What a sweet soul!!!

He has a vet appointment next week on November 14th. In the meantime, Jippy will receive eye antibiotics to help alleviate any discomfort. We are hoping to see if he is a good candidate for serolube, a blood eye serum used to treat difficult eye damage. The blood serum has vital nutrients and healing properties that can sometimes almost repair even the worst of eye damage if caught early enough. It has worked wonders for many cats, and it is a chance for darling Jippy!

Could you help us help Jippy? All donations are greatly helpful and so beyond appreciated.❤️ No donation is ever too small! We are a registered 501c3 non-profit organization. All donations can be tax deductible.

Buddy Valentine needs your shares! Buddy had an adoption appointment, but sadly Buddy was stood up.💔 Don't worry, he's not blue, but he desperately still wants a home of his own. He is 10 years old and has diabetes which requires a special diet and insulin meds daily. He came to us at the beginning of last year at a whopping 18lbs.😮 He’s been working hard on his summer body all last & this year and is proud of his now 9lb status! What a weight loss journey! (See comments for before & after pics) Buddy's full of energy, spunk, and a little sass... naturally. 😅 He's good with calm dogs and calm cats. Buddy is quite the independent cat who enjoys following you for extra treats and lounging with you as you watch a movie. Though, not a lap cat, Buddy is a great companion, always inquisitive and a little mischievous. To adopt of meet Buddy (located Ellijay, Ga), fill out our online application:🤩🥰 https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FPR/Cat Give Buddy's post a share or help in other ways for Buddy's continued care.
