The Purr-sery at The Menagerie

Actual little Princess, Stripe, is still looking for her valentine! This sweet, silly little lady is a wonderful companion, happy to sit beside you on the couch and run after you if you leave the room. She likes to chirp for attention, chase spring toys, and cuddle at night. She's about 10 months old, fixed, and fully vaxxed, just waiting for her prince charming ❤️

If you'd like to meet this precious darling, check out her profile through Adoption Option Dog Rescue, Inc.

Happy New Year! Our resolution:

12/25/2023

Merry Christmas (meowry kitmas) to one and all! We're wishing you a nice long weekend with loved ones and lots of good food, and wishing for homes for these 3 little princesses! They were on Santa Paw's good list this year for their first holiday season and would be the greatest addition to any household and they totally promise not to climb the tree! (Though they may have had their toe beans crossed behind their backs when they said that 🫢)

🐾🎁 Need a last minute gift? Bundle up this winter season with one of our paw-made scarves! 🎁🐾

We were laid off from our day job two weeks ago, so we've had to put the kittens to work so we can still afford their treats! Most people open a bakery since cats are natural born biscuit makers, but we decided to get a little creative! We've made a small assortment of super soft scarves and we can take some commissions as well!

It's been quite the challenge teaching these kittens how to knit, they get so easily distracted by the yarn and the knitting needles, and tend to fall asleep halfway through their work!

Each scarf is guaranteed to contain real cat hair from the cat that made it! We're selling them for $40 each + shipping. Check out the comment section below to see the finished products available for purchase!

This is what fostering is. It's fighting for our babies, who half the time are sick and don't act like it (the easiest to lose because it doesn't seem serious) or act like it but aren't sick (who are just dramatic and cost us a ton in vet fees). But we fight for them until the end because we love them and they deserve it.

Happy Halloween from our little cross-eyed ravens twins, Huginn and Muninn 🎃
This bonded brother sister pair are our longest Purr-sery residents and they don't understand why! Huginn, with her beautiful crescent moon eyes, talks all the time and loves to have conversations and have her tummy rubbed. It's possible she's the plushest cat you'll ever touch with her thick, velvety coat. Muninn is so sweet (read: simple) and cuddly and loves to show off his hyperventilating purr. He enjoys the company of other animals and being cuddled. He's very silky and very silly with his darling crossed eyes and high pitched voice.

If you'd like to meet our sweet set of angels, message us today!

Adoption Spotlight: Devon

Little Devon came to us with his sister Bristol back in August. They were found up in Pennsylvania on a very hot day. Devon chased down a family walking to the pool, begging for food and water. He was a much easier catch than Bristol who hid under a oil tank and cried for her brother. Both were eventually wrangled, transported down, bathed, fed, and watered. While Devon thrived in his new foster home at The Purr-sery, Bristol began having seizures which weren't able to be controlled even with medication, and began to deteriorate. Even with a wonderful vet team, poor Bristol had to be euthanized to ease her suffering. Devon's loss was eased by all his new companions. He's wild, wiggly, and playful, and like to act all tough in front of his new friends, but at night he runs ahead to the bedroom where he just wants to cuddle and nurse on blankets.

If you'd like to meet Devon and maybe take this brave, lucky little void home, send us a message to set up a meet n greet!

From 11 Tuxedos to 3! 🖤🤍
Princesses Chin, Lips, and Stripe are still looking for their forever homes!
(Ignore their silly names, all the Tuxedos were named after their makings for ease of identification)

Our beautiful, goofy Tux has found his forever home!
Congratulations, handsome boy!

Poor Penelope, everyone loves her but no one wants to keep her 🥺 She's so sweet, goofy, and loves to be held on your hip like a toddler. She's wonderful with people and dogs.
Her only hang up: She picks fights with every cat smaller than her, and she's a big girl!
She would be so happy as the only cat in the house. She isn't high maintenance, she doesn't need a lot of attention, she just needs less kittens around.

Do you think this sweet, chubby girl could be a match for your home? Message us to set up a meet n greet!

We try to post as many pictures as we can, but most days are best described as "cuddly chaos". Everyone is clamoring to be held, if they're awake they're a blur of action, and once they settle down they're facing the wrong direction. There is the rare instance that someone is being cute and still, but I'm trapped under a minimum of three sleeping cats at any given time.

Have an empty lap? Need more love in your life? Message us to set up a meet n greet to find your best fit!

Happy October! 🎃
Please note, after careful consideration, we've decided that anyone applying for one of our solid black kitties this month will be required to provide their vet info, character references, and a virtual home visit to us to ensure the safety of the most vulnerable and unwanted color of kitties. This is the most likely time of year for them to find a home but also the time when they're the most in danger of someone with nefarious intentions.
Note this only effects bonded pair Huginn and Muninn, and little Devon.
If you'd like to meet any of our little darlings, message us today!

Tomorrow we'll be at My Pet Store and More in Columbia from noon-3 with all our little cuties!

Us, too, Penelope. Us too.
Our very chubby, baby-punching powerhouse is still looking for a home (preferably by herself where she won't have to hit baby cats anymore, dogs seem to be ok) She loves people, she's seriously so sweet and cuddly, so just has a problem playing (read: living) nicely with others.

If you'd like to meet mama Penelope, please reach out to Adoption Option Dog Rescue, Inc.!

Our little suits are flying off the shelves! (Both literally and figuratively)
Princesses Nose, Toes, and Mustache have found their forever homes ❤ I will miss my sweet Nose's high little voice, my Toesies running up wagging her tail wanting to be pet, and Mustache, oh, Mustache 🤣 her antics will certainly be missed and it will be very quiet here without her, but her family is the perfect match for her energy level. Farewell, my darlings!

Adoption Profile! Mama Maple Syrup (a beautiful dilute tortoiseshell) and her fat baby Sausage Link (a brown tabby) came to us a few weeks ago. Mama Maple had 5 little babies out in the woods, 2 were given to another mama whose babies were stillborn, and then the night before the finder caught mama and the other 3, there was a terrible storm and they could only find mama and Sausage hiding under a wood pile. So the delightfully chubby baby Sausage is now an only baby. He's constantly cranky (heehee, poor baby) and definitely doesn't appreciate human kisses (mommy kisses are ok) but he's willing to tolerate pets when wet food is involved. And sweet little mama with the greenest eyes loves attention and is constantly standing on her tippy toes for pets and making biscuits on whatever surface she's standing on.

These cuties are not yet listed but will be available through Adoption Option Dog Rescue, Inc. and will be at My Pet Store and More this Saturday from noon-3pm!

Adoption Profile! Mama Penelope is the sweetest young mama and wants nothing more than to be held and loved. This sometimes meant she wasn't always the best mama to her 5 little boys, often ignoring their cries in favor of trying to get some attention of her own, but all mamas need a break every once in a while, and now that they've found their forever homes, it's Penelope's turn! She's the first to welcome guests and has never met a stranger. She is generally very calm (except when on catnip) and loves to greet you in the mornings and chit-chat about her night. She's the most beautiful mama with bold, striking markings and will be someone's most loving companion.

This sweet mama is available through Adoption Option Dog Rescue, Inc. and will be at My Pet Store and More this Saturday from noon-3pm!
