Meet Evan, the cutest little cleft lip kitten! 🧡

Evan was with born with this congenital deformity but it hasn't stopped him one bit! He is doing well and still loves to eat, drink, play with his siblings, and snuggle!

Evan grew up in a loving foster home and hasn't had any major complications so far. As he grows, it will be important for his adopters to maintain a good relationship with a full service vet who can keep an eye on him! He may have a higher risk for things like upper respiratory infections and more, so our medical team would love to discuss Evan's possible medical needs to make sure adopters are on board!

Interested in Evan or finding another furry best friend? A whole new pile of kittens and adult cats just became available and they can't wait to find a home for the paw-lidays! ❤🎄🐱

Oh-deer! 🦌 How did this MASTIFF reindeer end up at our shelter?

🐾 Meet Squish! This reindeer (aka English Mastiff) is sure to go down in history! Squish is a 120-pound hunk of love with a heart as big as his paws. This gentle giant is 2 years old and now that he is done filling in for Rudolph, he's ready to find a home of his own!

🐾 Squish is the definition of sweetness and is a laid-back and loving companion who thrives on human connection. Whether he's lounging on the couch or nestled at your feet, he's content simply being by your side.

🐾 Despite his impressive size, Squish is all about calm vibes and gentle cuddles. If you ever saw him, you would surely say he glows with charm! ✨ Squish enjoys the company of other relaxed dog friends and is happiest in peaceful settings. Most of all, Squish is a pro at spreading comfort and joy (and slobber) wherever he goes!

If you're looking for a loyal and affectionate new friend, Squish is your guy! Want to meet him or any of his other furry friends? Be sure to submit an app today! 🦌🎄❤

It's a Tuesday! And Jelly's story is a special one. 🖤

7-year-old Jelly first came to us at our Hanna Street shelter where she sat quietly for a while despite being extremely sweet and purring when anyone would give her attention. Then, Jelly moved with us to our new shelter in August. And still, Jelly kept being overlooked by adopters due to her age and the prospect of needing a dental procedure.

In fact, she was the last shelter pet from Hanna who was still waiting for a home.

Chele, one of our devoted staff members, had recently lost her senior cat and decided to adopt Jelly! She knew Jelly's adoption was meant to be when Jelly gravitated toward all of Sir James Frisky's favorite things and even his beloved banana toy.

After her dental procedure, Jelly is doing so well that she even eats a few dry Temptations treats! According to Chele, she used to stare at them like a piece of cake she shouldn't eat, but now gets to enjoy them once in a while!

Jelly has made herself quite at home and loves to sit at the top of cat trees, climb on cat shelves, and snuggle on the couch! 😸

What a fitting story. The last cat from our Hanna Street shelter was adopted by one of our very own staff members. Thank you to Chele and Jelly for highlighting the power of adoption and the incredible rewards of adopting an older cat. 🖤🐾
