GPS: Helping Shelter Cats Find Their Way Into Forever Homes

We rescue cats from kill shelters and care for them at our adoption center until they are adopted.

Follow along and be a virtual part of our rescue mission! Located in Huntington NY Our shelters are filled to capacity with homeless, displaced cats; cats of all ages, many adults, who either sit for several months (day in, day out) waiting to be discovered and who are at-risk of being euthanized if they have or develop health issues or exhibit too much stress in captivity. Regardless of condition

s, no shelter cage is a happy or appropriate place for a cat to be in and cats suffer tremendously in the shelter setting, often surrounded by loud, barking dogs. In order to help us fulfill our mission, we have created a cat center for the cats we rescue! This is a true home-away- from-home for the cats to enjoy while we continue the work of finding homes for them. In our care, each cat we rescue is kept safe, comfortable and tended to medically and emotionally in preparation for adoption. Here, it’s all about the cats, and it’s about letting each one of them know they are wanted and wonderful even though somebody at some point in their lives decided they weren’t. One thing we know for sure: Whatever condition the cats are in when we remove them from the shelter setting, without fail they each begin to transform and come into their own and become the cats they are meant to be. It's an amazing and beautiful thing to see, and once they are adopted they transform even more. THIS is the beauty in what we do and this is the thing that keeps us driven to continue to do more. We are so proud and so excited to be doing this, and we ask for your support. Please visit our website at www.goldenpawsociety.org to see if there is a way you may be able to help us…So many homeless and hopeless cats will appreciate it, as will we!

One of the greatest rewards in cat rescue is that we are ever-reminded that the little things are truly the big things - so that even when times are hard or painful (which is often), we are also able to feel a deep sense of grateful appreciation.

Tonight, Timothy is eating out of a bowl in the kitchen of our Adoption Center. Such a seemingly little thing. Yet, what he had to endure and then overcome to get here? Huge!

Guesstimated to be anywhere between 10 and 15yo, this boy lost his beloved owner and then was left outside alone in a carrier in a parking lot by family members who apparently couldn't be bothered to rehome him with care and dignity.

They were caught doing this, and sent off with no repercussions - - and he ended up in a municipal shelter. We have nothing to say of the people who did this to him; our concern is for Timothy who is a senior gentleman deserving of so much better than that.

We rescued Timothy just a few days ago and tonight he told us he was curious and brave enough to have a look around our Adoption Center. We happily obliged but then were quickly devastated to discover that he has great trouble walking - with severe back leg weakness. Is this from sitting too long, and stiffness because he is an older cat? OR is it maybe because of something far worse, like kidney disease or unchecked diabetes? He can't tell us and he is brand new to us, so we will have to find out.

He struggled to make his way around, took long pauses to sit and just observe - then he found a bowl of food and happily started eating. That's the picture you see here.

Tomorrow and in the days ahead we will be observing him, getting him examined and bloodwork done but, for tonight, seeing Timothy enjoying his food while free is a reminder of how far he has already come from what was a very painful ordeal that could've had a very bad ending for him.

For tonight, and for however long Timothy has left on this planet, we will make sure he will be able to live with the freedom, dignity, love and compassion he deserves.

The little things ARE the big things and they keep us going. :)

Thank you for being here with us and making the little things possible for these very deserving animals.

The wait is over! Our OCTOBER SHELTER RUN reveal is finally here!

Our 28 newly rescued cats have all been safely tucked into their new digs at our Adoption Center and the magic is already happening. Some of them are so fine and ready to be free already, and the others are enjoying the peace of this new place and working on gaining courage as they observe all.

As they decompress and realize they are safe, their true purrsonalities start to come out and we get to learn who they are. We already think they are all amazing for being the survivors they are, and we know you will feel the same.

The pictures here are not happy ones. These were the cats as we met them in their shelter cages. Better days are ahead for all of them now!

Every bit of this is made possible by YOU and your support for our shelter cat rescue mission.
From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for your generosity and compassion.
Because of you, these cats now have the second chances they are so deserving of.

Please welcome these amazing newly-rescued cats to Golden Paw Society and get ready to fall in love 28 times!

The first nine are all from the same home, a sad situation where the owner apparently loved fancy long-haired cats and lost control - with a collection of over 100 of them living in deplorable conditions. :(

11/02/2024

Technical difficulties prevent us from being able to post our entire October Shelter Run album tonight - so we offer you this sneak peek while you wait!

Matthew!

He is just one of the TWENTY EIGHT newly rescued cats now in our care, all thanks to YOU for donating and sponsoring their rescue!

Bottom right pic is Matthew as we met him in the shelter; the other two pics are of him today and tonight enjoying our Adoption Center!

He and his brother had been surrendered to a municipal shelter and separated. Now they have been reunited and are loving every bit of their new-found freedom, including the love and attention they are getting from all of our volunteers!

:) This is what we do. This is the difference we make in the lives of shelter cats. From despair and distress, to hope and happiness!

Thank you for being here with us on this incredible mission! Stay tuned to meet the remaining 27 new little faces tomorrow!!!

❤

Cats do not belong in shelter cages. We believe this so strongly and your support shows us that you do too! From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU for supporting our shelter cat rescue mission!!

Time is running out to participate in our OCTOBER SHELTER RUN! Please don't scroll past!

Imagine you're finally removed from living in the deplorable conditions of an animal hoarding situation and THIS is where you end up - in a dark cage at the back of a shelter where you will remain, alone, for countless months while the legalities of your keeper's case are sorted through.

It is devastating to know the suffering that animals endure while depending on humans to do right by them. Our Shelter Cat Rescue Mission is founded on the promise to be here for those who cannot speak, and to follow through on that promise by making their lives better! We cannot do this without you!

We need to rescue this desperate girl and several others who've been waiting far too long! Your contribution now to our OCTOBER SHELTER RUN makes it happen! $100 sponsors the rescue of one shelter cat, but every dollar adds up to save more lives!!

Another bright and beautiful fall day, but not for this girl...

Cats in shelter cages don't know if it's day or night, cloudy or bright...they just know they are alone in darkness most of the time until someone has to reach in to give them food or clean their litter. Their days are lonely and long and they have no idea what has happened to them or what to expect next.

:(

We are here to end this nightmare for as many cats as we can!
By removing them from the shelter setting and allowing them to live freely at our cozy adoption center, we are giving them their best chance for bright futures! Your sponsoring the rescue of these cats gives us the needed funding to continue their care and, without you, we cannot do this!

THIS SENIOR GENTLEMAN

recently had his heart broken when he lost his beloved owner and then had to be removed from the home he knew for his entire life.

As if that is not bad enough, remaining family and friends decided they didn't want him. Instead of making an effort to find a new home or a better situation for him, they dumped him outside. Alone. Cannot imagine his fear.
..and now here he sits, completely confused and alone in a shelter cage!

Tragically, he is not alone in this scenario. This kind of rejection and abandonment happens to innocent cats every day. :(

Our Late October SHELTER RUN is in progress! We need to rescue THIS desperate boy and several others from their shelter cages! Your sponsorship makes it happen! $100 sponsors the rescue of one shelter cat but every dollar adds up to save more lives!

Good Morning!

Waking up to a new day, being able to see the sun come up and wondering what this new day will bring is a luxury long denied this little girl and so many other shelter cats ...

Our LATE OCTOBER SHELTER RUN CONTINUES and the sad faces we have met are breaking our hearts.

As if losing everything isn't bad enough, these cats now live in isolation and darkness. Especially for the adult cats, this stay can feel interminable as potential adopters pass them by to get to the cute little kittens they are surrounded by.

We are here to put an end to this for as many cats as we can!

Pete says THANK YOU for all the prayers and well-wishes for his dental surgery two days ago. He is feeling much better now! (Now he just needs a home!) 🥰

10/19/2024

The first reaction most people have to learning that a cat is blind is, "oh how sad!!" - a natural gut reaction, to worry about how vulnerable this makes the cat and to feel bad about all the things they "can't" do or experience because they are blind.

The thing about cats that never ceases to amaze, is how incredibly resilient they are. Blind cats learn to experience the world around them with the same curiosity and spark as sighted cats by using their other senses.

With their acute senses of hearing and smell, blind cats navigate quite well - and when it comes to touch? Once they know they are safe, they cannot get enough. This is their connection to all that is outside of them, unseen, and they crave it.

Meet Wendy, our recently-rescued blind senior. She is wise and wonderful, loving and affectionate and she has so much love to give. She really can't wait to meet you and smell you and feel you! Don't make her wait any longer!!

Not totally sure of age, but anywhere between 12 and 16yo and available now at our Adoption Center in Huntington Station, NY

For Pete's Sake

Wishing this boy a successful dental surgery today.

We rescued 8yo Pete from his shelter cage about two weeks ago. We soon discovered that he literally screams and bolts away when eating because something in his mouth is causing him tremendous pain. 😫

His perfect little face looks messy because, to avoid this terrible pain, he has resorted to waiting in our sink at mealtime and licking wet cans and bowls. 😥

We don't know for how long Pete has had to live with this pain but one more day would be too many so we booked his surgery for soonest available.

Cannot wait for him to be pain free and to be able to chow down on yummy food the way a cat is supposed to be able to. ☺️

When he is all better, he will be ready to be adopted and someone incredibly lucky will have the best cat ever! ❤

The most THANKFUL THURSDAY ever!

If everyone had a deep sense of commitment towards the animals in their care, animal shelters would not be as overloaded with abandoned animals as they currently are. Our rescue organization actually exists because of this - having to relieve the overcrowding to prevent these innocent animals from either suffering long stays in isolation or being euthanized.

We love what we do, but we much prefer a world where what we do isn't needed.

That's why this particular situation has knocked our socks off and blown our hearts wide open with so much love and appreciation.

A month or so ago we got word of a 15yo cat who'd been owner-surrendered to a town shelter - understandably beside himself and lashing out to attack anyone who approached.

Sight unseen we committed to him, knowing that his only chance of getting past this would be to be removed from his current circumstances.

With us he was no different than as described - growling, lunging, attacking. It was devastating to see him suffering so much fear, and we were sick with worry about how long it would take him to feel less terrible. He had no idea who we were and why he was with us, and the one thing he needed in this entire world was to see a familiar face.

In walked his former owner's FRIEND. She had heard that he had been surrendered to a shelter and she was beside herself worried about him. She contacted the shelter and they contacted us. Even though she knew he had been rescued from the risky shelter setting, she STILL needed to come for him because she couldn't stand the thought of him being all alone in the world.

He is home now, due to one human's deep sense of commitment to a cat she knew. Now he is eating and drinking, pooping and peeing, and purring and following her all over the house. He even likes to take selfies with her! This is the stuff of fairytales for us, and when fairytales come true there is just absolutely nothing better in this world!

Thank you, kind human, for refusing to give up on a little cat you knew. You have restored our faith in humanity.

William's Wednesday face

also happens to be his M, T, Th, F, Sat and Sunday face!

This is William! A constant look of surprise or concern, but maybe that's bc he is still very surprised to have been rescued from the shelter cage he sat alone in for so long and he is also concerned that, at 8yo, nobody will ever love him.

We have told him time and again that it is impossible for someone not to fall head over heels in love with his sweet and gentle demeanor and his LARGE panda-bear fluff of a body, but he is growing skeptical.

Please, if you are in need of a warm body-pillow disguised as a cat, come meet our sweet William and make him a believer that he is deserving of furever love! His little worried face hurts us and we need to see him happy!

We thought brothers Sully and Mike had it made when they got adopted together a few months back - but things got even more amazing when their humans adopted a baby sister, Rosie, for them!! She was found outside all by herself! How lucky is she to now have two big brothers to snuggle up with!!

Sweet dreams to this newly expanded adorable little family, and to Rosie for finding the kind of love, warmth and acceptance we all deserve. :)

Her motto: Just because you've lost everything, doesn't mean you don't deserve a chance for happiness.

Cali lost everything when her beloved owner went into assisted living. She has been feeling a bit displaced and wondering what happened to her life. We can't wait to see her feeling happy again.

Kinda wishing all of Florida was a small kitten we could hold close to our hearts and wrap up with protection right about now.

So much harm has already been done by hurricane Helene. We are worried about our friends/neighbors/fellow humans and animals in the path of Milton. Please join us in collective concern with positive thoughts/vibes/energy/prayer towards all who are in potential harm's way in the next 24 hours or so. Maybe putting all our hearts together can help bring some miracles.

(pictured is our baby Diamond with her foster mommy who is doing all the right things to keep her safe and get her through her challenges)

10/08/2024

It's often the littlest of things that require the biggest of efforts to protect them!

Our baby girl, Diamond, is a tiny 3month old baby who suffered a broken jaw as well as upper-respiratory, ear and eye infections. (more pics in comments)

How can so many things on such a tiny baby go wrong? The effort to help this baby along and to make sure she gets through this very challenging time has been great.

We have been doing the best we can at our Adoption Center but today Diamond is finally home with one of our volunteers who can give her the extra-special level of TLC required for such a baby.

She has already gotten a bath and is now fast asleep on her cushy new bed complete with electric blanket.

If you follow us, you know we rescued Diamond last week from a municipal shelter where she was struggling to thrive. We rescued her in honor of a special boy we lost too soon, Romy, and we know he is her Guardian Angel now making sure she will be ok. Feeling blessed to have had Romy in our lives, and feeling grateful for volunteers who love our cats as their own.

Have a wonderful, cozy-like-Diamond day and stay tuned for updates.

Hey Owen, whatcha knowin'?

I only know two things!
1. Being rescued and taken out of that dark shelter cage I sat in for several months has been the most fabulous thing ever! I am finally not sick anymore and I love feeling good!
2. It is the start of a new week so hopefully this means NEW ADOPTIONS INCLUDING MINE hint hint!! Please know that I am ready and waiting to meet you so I can get started on furever with you! I really really want a person or a family to call my own!

Dunno if you heard the loud crack around the world but...this was a week of a huge heartbreak for us.

Been having a hard time accepting it, because when we fight we like to win - and for this boy we put in the biggest fight we could muster, and still his terrible disease took over.

Romy. 4yo? who knows exactly what his age was. Big, young boy. Sweetest angel ever. Brought into a shelter as a stray, he was soon discovered to have a rare and difficult-to-fight disease called cryptococcus. It's a fungus that invades the nasal cavity - and can travel beyond there into the brain and central nervous system of the cat. For the past several months we have been aggressively fighting it with meds to prevent this from happening with Romy, but it was bigger than us.

The good news is, Romy spent his past few months home with his forever family surrounded by love and furry friends who immediately accepted him bc they could sense he was challenged. He spent most of his days very cozy and happy so we're not sure he even knew he was in a fight for his life. We prefer to think he didn't know, though we do know he did struggle at times to breathe clearly and to feel good.

Seeing the sweetest, smartest, best and most gentle boy in any amount of discomfort or struggle was so hard, but there was this tremendous hope that we would get him through this and past it and that he could be totally free of it one day.

That day did come, just not the way we had hoped. The battle is over. There is a tiny bit of solace in knowing Romy no longer has to struggle at all. He is finally totally free.

We only know one way to heal from pain like this and it's to save another life. Lo and Behold, a definite sign of Romy still with us, one of our shelter friends reached out to us about a little baby in dire need of care today. Only two months old and she suffers a fractured jaw that is now infected. The shelter setting is not conducive to her getting through this - she needs a soft, peaceful space to land and plenty of TLC. We have that.

In honor of our beloved Romy, who will be in our hearts forever, we bring you a sparkling little Diamond in the rough! With a big, beautiful angel overseeing her care we cannot wait to see her thrive!

Q: Whattaya do with an abandoned diabetic cat that nobody wants?

A: You invite her to a girlie sleepover!!

That's what Audrey's human foster sister is doing tonight and our hearts are soaring seeing this little girl feeling SO happy!

All this love and belonging is the perfect antidote for the terrible year Audrey had prior to this. Months alone in a shelter cage after being surrendered by her original owners - .then being discovered to have diabetes that had gone untreated for who knows how long, followed by being overlooked by countless potential adopters who don't want to deal with diabetes. Now, finally, Audrey is able to relax and enjoy life at home with her very loving foster family. 🥰

We would wish her sweet dreams but we know girls never actually sleep during sleep over parties! 🤣🤣

Have fun little girl! You deserve every bit of this! 😍

It's a Magical Monday with Belle!

Why magical, you might ask?
Is it because the kitty sofa has still not fallen apart despite being scratched up by a multitude of cats?
Nope. (although we are impressed by that)

It's magical because the kitty currently sitting on the sofa used to be extremely sad and now, as you can see, she is quite the opposite!

Belle's happy toes tell us she is finally feeling like the relaxed and contented girl she is meant to be!

Her prior family adopted her as a kitten then allowed her to become morbidly obese where she was unable to groom herself, then they abandoned her for being "smelly" due to the lack of grooming. (we will refrain from commenting on that)

Being a free roamer with us has allowed Belle to lose some weight and start to be able to groom herself properly and she is feeling SO good about that! We are so proud of her for being resilient and brave during a very tough time and we cannot wait to see her find her happily-ever-after!

Everybody deserves to be treated with compassion.

Belle is available at our Adoption Center in Huntington Station NY

EVERYBODY BEWARE ❗WE HAVE A CAUTION CAT AMONG US OMG‼ 😈 THERE IS NO TELLING WHAT SHE MIGHT DO❗ HEEELLLLLP ❗❗❗❗😳😳😳 🤔 🙃 😍 Why we rescue cats from shelter cages. Former shelter-cat-deemed-"CAUTION"- cat, Gillian, was unable to be her best self while feeling isolated, trapped and terrified. Three days of decompression at our Adoption Center and her best self has already started to emerge. 😻 This is how previously lost and abandoned cats get second chances for a happy life. Thank you for being with us on this mission. Every amazing transformation is made possible by your support. 🥰

oh, hi guys - Madison here. Love to chat but my big foster brudder, Sven, is making sure I get plenty of rest to recover from my spay. Have a great day!!

Not just a cat with a snack! You're witnessing a little miracle today! (yes we seem to have a lot of those around here! This is what happens when you surround yourself with CATS!) Winnie! She'd been hit by a car and survived, but not unscathed! She has some neurological damage that makes her a bit unsteady on her feet but she is still perfectly able. She also reacts to change a bit strongly and needs just a little extra time and reassurance to know everything will be OK. When we first rescued her she was quite growly and scared. We are slowly, but surely, winning her over! Churus, or any of the yummy squeeze-treats they make for cats nowadays, are very helpful in winning friends! Ask Winnie (but you'll have to wait 'till she is done bc she is quite busy right now!) :) Our little warrior, Winnie, is available for adoption in Huntington Station NY.

❗URGENT FOSTER or ADOPTER NEEDED❗ Audrey loses her current foster home TOMORROW!! 😑😑 She is the sweetest, easiest little house-guest!! Loves attention and love, gives it back ten-fold! She also happens to be adorable and stunning and a joy to behold! Has a great appetite, is perfect with the litter box! She is just the best! Being diabetic, Audrey requires insulin injections 2x a day. So easy to do (Audrey purrs when she gets hers!) and we can supply the insulin and syringes if that will help seal the deal with you! ❤ Please SHARE so we can connect Audrey with her hero TODAY! Please message us if her hero is YOU! ❤ (Huntington Station, NY- hoping for Long Island /Tri-State Area foster or adopter)

Audrey is such an angel, she even purrs on her way to the vet! Volume up!!

Who ME? Yes YOU! Recently-rescued Sylvester is still coming into his own and is not yet feeling fully confident about being an Official Spokescat for us (It is a very big job!) However, when asked if we should save more cats like him (cats who were waiting for several months to be freed from the hopelessness of being in municipal shelter cages) he knew exACTLY what needed to be said. Volume up to listen in: (MreOwww!) Exact Translation: So many amazing cats like me are feeling SO desperate for a chance to be loved. PLEASE help my friends! $100 sponsors the rescue of one shelter cat; every dollar adds up to save more lives! Every cat rescued gets a new lease on life and a chance to be happy again! You can help make it happen by donating here: https://www.goldenpawsociety.org/shelter-run-fund.html Or Venmo us @goldenpawsocietycats Or donate directly on this post! Thank you for any amount you can give. Every contribution makes a difference! ❤

🌧 Rain Rain go away, Come back...whenever you want! 🌧 I am high and dry and cozy in my furever home and a little rain is not gonna get me down! In fact, it makes my coziness even COZIER because I am protected from the elements and getting ready for yet another nap before I eat again. 🤣 Besides, who can the weather command?? Don't let a dark rainy day get you down; let it help sooth you into the more restfull, peaceful down-time zone we all need once in a while. 😴 (And, if you really MUST go out today, galoshes! 😬☔) Kneadfully speaking Tara ❤ (P.s. if you knew the stress this poor girl endured after being surrendered to a town shelter to become a CAUTION cat, and then waiting twooo years to be adopted you would realize the wonderful miracle it is to see her this happy! Taking a chance on the "scary" cats can be the most rewarding thing ever! They just need more love and understanding!)

Our special baby boy,.Benjamin,.went home with one of our volunteers today to be fostered. Turns out he has a resistent urinary infection that requires 6 weeks of daily meds. He is actually a senior, which makes him even more precious to us. He has been through so much and we are determined to make sure he enjoys the rest of his life! So grateful to our volunteer for being willing to foster him, and so hopeful that these new meds kick in and help.his body to heal. In the meantime, it is crazy-wonderful to see him SO happy!! 🥰❤ G'nite and sweet dreams from Benjamin.

Life is Goodbye Life is Hello Earlier today we said goodbye to Jason... ain't no time to hate barely time to wait... Say Hello to Benjamin!! We committed to this 11yo sweetheart weeks ago but then he needed a dental and had some medical complications and now we FINALLY have this boy under our roof with us! We're guessing this senior boy has pretty much seen it all, having survived some tough times prior to being found outside, dirty and disheveled, hungry and his mouth hurting so badly from rotted teeth. :( Say goodbye to those days of pain and trying to survive, sweet Benjamin, and say hello to warmth, cleanliness, plentiful food, comfort and an abundance of LOVE. Benjamin is pure love. Seriously, look up love in the dictionary and you will see his picture there! ok nobody uses dictionaries anymore but you get the point!! The lucky person who adopts Benjamin will be basking in affection all day long!! For now, we are the lucky ones and we are so thrilled to have this guy with us! (11yo and ready for you at our Adoption Center in Huntington Station NY)

Just might be the most Thankful Thursday ever after receiving this incredible video from the human who adopted Evan and Robert - Two shy boys who lost their home many moons ago....endured months of separation in town shelter cages...enjoyed being reunited with us, but then waited way too long for someone to give this bonded pair a chance! So incredibly grateful to their new mom who saw they needed each other. Some people actually feel threatened by a bonded pair's attachment to each other, thinking they wont get enough cat-love for themselves. If this video doesn't dispell that fear nothing will! So many love songs could accompany this video but...volume up for the purrs because that is EVERYTHING!! ❤

It's Friday and not only is it almost time for happy hour but IT'S SNOWING!!! Snowing very lightly but brothers Robert (left) and Evan are doing a SNOW DANCE in hopes of changing that! They like seeing the snow accumulate outside while they get to stay cozy and warm inside at our Adoption Center! :) These two love-birds are so incredibly happy to be where they are today. Their past was very sad, having survived a terrible situation where their owner ran into some mental health issues and stopped being able to care for the many cats she had. Some of her cats did not survive, and several suffered health consequences. These two boys came out unscathed, but then had to endure several months of isolation in a municipal shelter before we were able to rescue and reunite them. If they could talk, we don't think they'd bother to discuss any of that. One of the most beautiful things about animals is that they are so naturally able to live in the present moment - and right now this moment is AWESOME! (This joy and endless love can be yours!! Robert and Evan are about 4yo and available as a pair at our Adoption Center in Huntington Station NY) p.s. cameo by Anita, giving herself bathies

SO TIRED of hearing about TIARA. Don't get us wrong. We could hear about this girl all day long ....if the talk was compassionate. Misunderstood cats have the hardest time in any setting. Over a year ago we rescued this girl from a municipal shelter where there was absolutely no way she was leaving alive unless it was through rescue. She was incredibly distressed and was was not okay being contained or handled. Tiara had lost her home and the life she knew after the death of her original owner. 💔 At our Adoption Center Tiara is stressed being surrounded by 40 plus cats, and she works hard to tolerate them. She is wickedly smart and she knows this is not the life she was meant to be living. Tiara KNOWS she needs to be in a home again.. Problem is her stress makes her react stressfully to any interaction. Sadly we have had visitors say things to her like, "Well you're not going to get adopted that way!" Or, "You just ruined your chance to get out of here." 😑😶 Nothing breaks our hearts worse than seeing one of our rescued cats, A. Being put to a test and then, B. Failing that test because they are scared and stressed. It is OK if you want a cat who has no emotional baggage. You will find one, no doubt. We have plenty. It is AMAZING and FOREVER LIFE CHANGING if you are willing to see where you are needed, and then choose to be there for the one in need. Tiara needs a chance Tiara needs you. If you have a home that is peaceful, that is cat-centric, that has room for a girl who has been feeling so unhappy for WAY too long, then please please consider turning it all around for this girl. The rewards that await both of you are immeasureable. 🥰😻 (Available at our Adoption Center in Huntington Station, NY)
