🥟 Say Ciao to Tortellini!

Meet Tortellini, our 8-month-old adventure buddy who’s just as charming as her name suggests! This outgoing, affectionate girl quite literally puts herself to bed—she crate-trained herself and happily snoozes in her cozy little safe space. 😴💕

She’s a pro biscuit baker, an A+ helper with math homework, and the ultimate shadow who wants to join you in whatever you’re doing—cooking dinner, getting dressed, or just vibing on the couch.

Tortellini is also a world-class model who rocks ANY outfit and thrives on being the center of attention. For that reason, she’d prefer to be the queen of your castle with no other pets stealing her spotlight. 👑

If you’re looking for a sweet, silly, people-loving companion… your Tortellini is served.

Meet Patrick: Short, stout & full of senior sass

If you’ve been dreaming of a mellow cat with a permanent “get off my lawn” face… allow us to introduce Patrick. 😾✨

At 9 years old, Patrick has perfected his craft: being short, stout, slightly judgmental, and deeply committed to a life of leisure. This dapper gentleman prefers calm vibes, cozy corners, and supervising the household from his preferred throne (a cat tree… obviously).

While his resting-grump face may suggest he’s plotting world domination, he’s actually a sweet, mellow guy who loves quiet company from his humans.

Patrick is:
🛋️ Cool, calm, and absolutely collected
😼 Doing well living with other cats and dogs
🌙 A champion napper
💛 Independent but affectionate on his own terms

Senior? Sure. But he’s still got plenty of love, loyalty, and personality left to give — wrapped in a compact, slightly disgruntled package.

This we want to show our appreciation to the Bodani family! Fostering is such a rewarding experience for everyone in the family and can help teach vital traits like compassion! Thank you Bodani family for helping us save lives!

"We are the Bodani Family. We have been fostering for 6 months. So far we have had 4 puppies. The most rewarding moments are helping these young puppies learn and grow and watching them join a loving family. My advice is patience, perseverance and consistency.
Our ritual on adoption day is we ALL go to show our support and say goodbye.
Fostering has brought us responsibility and love. My family loves to be active, and fostering gives us purpose and is incredibly rewarding. 🐶🐾❤️"

Do you want to be like the Bodani family and foster dogs or cats? ⏬️

**APPLICATIONS CLOSED FOR RAMEN**

Meet Ramen – The sweetest little noodle! 🍜

Ramen sure knows how to melt hearts... this boy is as photogenic as he is affectionate! Ramen is super friendly with people, loves to be held, and enjoys soaking up all the attention he can get.

He’s 6 months old, great with other cats and does well living alongside dogs, too. Ramen is the perfect mix of playful kitten energy and gentle cuddle bug.

🎶 “And I say HEY! What a wonderful kind of day…” 🎶
…to meet two adorable kittens looking for their forever homes!

Meet Arthur & Buster — our very own version of the iconic Arthur duo!

🌟 Arthur (tuxedo) – Just like his namesake, he’s confident, friendly, and ready for adventure. This 4.5-month-old floofy king is outgoing, social, and loves everyone he meets. If you want a kitten who jumps right into the action, Arthur’s your guy.

💛 Buster (tabby) – The gentle, sensitive sweetheart of the pair. Buster is soft, fluffy, and a little more reserved at first, but once he warms up, he’s all sweetness and quiet affection — just like Buster Baxter himself.

Both boys are great with other cats, love companionship, and would thrive in homes where they can keep learning, growing, and exploring (library card optional).
