Meet Emile, a little miracle.
Born in April, Emile came into the world fighting. As a tiny kitten he battled pneumonia, and there were moments when his future felt uncertain. But Emile is pure resilience. He pushed through every challenge being the only survivor from his litter. He has grown into a happy, healthy, confident 8 month old boy.

Today, you would never guess the rough start he had. Emile is easygoing, gentle, and wonderfully social. He gets along beautifully with kids, other cats, and even dogs. His favorite place to be is pressed right against you. He’ll tuck himself into your neck and stay snuggled for as long as you’ll let him.
Emile isn’t just looking for a home, he’s ready to give someone his whole heart.

This brave boy has overcome so much, and now he’s ready for the happiest chapter yet . He is hoping to find his forever family in time for Christmas. A home where he can be loved, cherished, and finally settle in for all the holidays.
If you have room in your heart and home, Emile is ready to make this season a truly special one.

XENA & ARES

Every one of our cats have a story and these two don't fall short of that.
After giving birth, Xena’s nest was discovered by a dog. All but one were lost in the attack.
The single survivor, Ares. And in him, Xena poured every ounce of the love she had left into Ares and he became her purpose, her anchor, the last living piece of the family she tried so hard to protect.
Xena is a mother who endured unthinkable loss, and a tiny kitten who survived against the odds. And together, Xena and Ares have earned their forever bond.

If you’ve been following Mammoth’s story, you know what a monumental day this is.

Mammoth arrived cold, dehydrated, and severely underweight with an upper respiratory infection that had already ruptured his eyeballs. On top of that, he also had a disseminated fungal infections that was eating away at his organs. He was too weak to eat on his own and too small to be sedated for a feeding tube. One of our directors spent six weeks tube feeding him with a bite guard made by our veterinarian (thanks Dr. Amanda!!). He truly started his treatment plan out with a 0% chance of surviving. But! Mammoth never gave up and we have a team that doesn’t give up either - no matter the case.

Today Mammoth is off to his forever home with an amazing OA volunteer and friend who will spoil him to pieces. Here’s to a day we had prayed would come. 🍻

How is Sunday still here?! This lovely lady has such a friendly personality, even following our directors into their office to get some extra attention. She has made herself at home so quickly and we think she’d adapt to her new home just as fast.

Sunday is 4yo and would be a great addition to any home. Apply for her below! ⬇️

Our December pin features Fuego - the emergency case that christened our new clinic.

Fuego was brought in on emergency in April when his caretaker found him lying unresponsive in his yard. When he arrived, his heart rate was dangerously low and his bladder was obstructed. He was our first big case in our new clinic. We quickly got supplies together and were able to successfully unblock his bladder. He has to be on a urinary diet for the rest of his life to break down any urinary crystals and prevent any future obstructions. He loves his food and does not need any other special treatment or medication. He is a quiet and sweet cat that would make any home better. If you’re looking for a new best friend to spend the holiday with, Fuego is your guy!

As always, we’ll hook you up with plenty of food to get you started. Stop in to meet Fuego or grab your pin/put in your application at the links below!

Oliver pulled on a lot of heart strings yesterday.
24 hours later and he is on his way to his true FOREVER home.

Check THIS out!
Perfect time to give a tasty gift while helps cats this holiday season!

Thank you 6 Mile Cellars for supporting our mission!

Now Available: Our new vintage of Pinot Gris - AKA Pinot's Gris! 😻

Named after our head winemaker's cat Pinot, this is a new vintage of our already popular Pinot Gris - and a very similar style to our previous vintage.

But this time, we wanted to give back to a local organization that's helping kitties find homes, Orphan Angels Cat Sanctuary and Adoption Center! A portion of all bottle sales will be donated to the sanctuary.

Stop in and grab a bottle for yourself or any cat lovers in your life, and it'll taste even better knowing it's helping cats in need!

Cheers, and we'll see you in the cellar 🐈😻🐈‍⬛

Here’s the deal. Today Oliver was returned after the person who adopted him gave him to someone else and that person passed away. This is why being truthful on your applications is crucial! We have a thriving foster program, and if you’re looking for something short term - that is the better route to take.

This is the second time Oliver has been returned due to a situation like this. We are so heartbroken that the person that signed up to give him forever did not see that through.

He is 9 years old and deserves a PERMANENT home for the holidays. If you could finally be his true forever, please consider putting an app in for the sweetest, most deserving blue eyed man in the business. 🖤

This is Nard. He has been with us for almost 4 years, making him one of our longest residents. At 7yrs old, he is also one of the oldest. Nard was hit by a car before being brought to us back in 2022, but made a full recovery. He takes time to warm up to new people, so he would need someone to be very patient with him.

Nard is also FIV+, but had a dental last year where all teeth were extracted. Since FIV is transmitted by deep blood wounds and because of Nard’s mild nature, we have no worry of him infecting any other cats and he roams free with everyone else at the shelter.

Nard was SPONSORED for Christmas, which means his adoption fee is waived. All he needs now is a cozy bed to lie in for the holidays. Put in your app now if Nard is the one for you 🖤

Yesterday, we did FIVE special needs intakes.

We took Mr. Butters (big buff boy) in to get him off the streets after his caretaker seemed to think he was ready to retire. On arrival, we noticed some elevated respirations, and chest xrays revealed an enlarged heart. He immediately went into foster with a tri-med treatment. We have several cats in foster care with heart disease, and we’re happy to have Butters join our family.

The four kittens in the photos below ALL have CH (cerebellar hypoplasia). We had a couple kittens earlier this summer with some mild CH, making getting around a little more difficult due to their wobbly nature. However, these four have it pretty severely. They can still eat, drink and use the litterbox on their own, but stairs would definitely be a challenge.

We’re able to take on longterm cases like these due to donations and support from you! Please consider donating to help us prep for the medication and supplies needed to set their fosters up for success!
