💐 Update on white kitty 💐
I've decided to call her Powder. This 7 year old sweetheart is definitely a survivor!
So far, she is doing wonderfully. She's got a nice set up in the quarantine bathroom with a warm bed. Except, she likes to sleep inside the messy sink cabinet instead 🤦♀️
This girl can EAT and would stuff herself until she's sick if I let her. For now, her portions are being controlled to avoid overfeeding, but she loves nothing more than to eat and be loved on afterwards!
I hope to get her groomed after she puts on some healthy weight. She will also be fixed and vaccinated before being put up for adoption. ❤️ If anyone is looking for a sweet older kitty to share their couch, bed, and probably food with, Powder would be perfect!
👏 Black Cats are the Best 👏
Shadow has turned into quite the snuggle bug! I just know he'd love to have a home of his own where he has free reign to cuddle and snuggle with his owners! Unfortunately, my fosters have to stay in the foster room due to my very aggressive male orange cat. Some cats love having their own quiet space, but some cats really want the ability to constantly love and be loved by their people.
Shadow is long haired, 4 years old, fixed, and vaccinated. He would DEFINITELY love to have a home where he can spend lots of time with his people. ❤️ I know someone wants this fluffy cuddlebug to be their new best friend!
His adoption fee is 80$.
🐈⬛ Two Sweet Babies! 🐈
Moana (originally Mona, but I keep calling her Moana on accident) and Shadow are settling into the kitty room! They are two of our intakes from the recent rehoming project.
Shadow has definitely come around a little faster. He lets me love on him and seems to really enjoy it. He comes down from his tower occasionally to meow at the door for attention, then runs back up it when I come in the room to get pets in the cat tree.
Moana is a little slower to come around. She's sweet and isn't bothered by attention from her person, but she is still fearful and unsure of her new surroundings. She will take a little more time to adjust to a new home than Shadow will.
Both are long-haired cats available for adoption. They are both about 4 years old, fixed, and up to date on vaccines. ♥️ Adoption fees of 80$ do apply!
🎊 Look at Sweet Faith go! 🎊
This girl is conquering stairs now better than me! Every day she makes such amazing progress with her awesome fosters. It's incredible how she has gone from paralyzed to completely mobile in such a short time. It's all because of her strong will and her supportive foster family helping her the whole way! Fostering really does save lives, and according to Faith, performs miracles.
Faith has completed heartworm treatment, been fixed and vaccinated, and is ready for the right forever home ❤️
🙏 Rocko needs a hero! 🙏
We need a rescue pull or home for this boy asap!
This boy is so sweet and goofy and playful! He really is a good boy who just needs someone with a little patience. He's never had a real home, and he's never been allowed to live inside. It'll be a new experience for him, but I think he'd potty train quick! He hates using the bathroom in his kennel at the shelter already.
Rocko is extremely dog friendly, and he's never met a stranger. He's a little on the hyper side (not too bad but still a little puppy), so he'd do better with older kids. Rocko also LOVES his toys more than anything else! Don't let him have stuffies unsupervised or they will quickly become un-stuffed 🤦♀️ He also loves rubber bones and benebones, which aren't as messy!
He's heartworm negative, up to date on prevention, fixed, and vaccinated!
Rocko is sponsored by Rachel Freeny - State Farm Insurance Agent and ready to go home with the right family willing to give him a chance!
Announcement:
We have decided that we will not be renewing our contract with the city next year. We will no longer operate the city shelter after September 31st. Our priority for the time being will be to get our animals into good foster homes.
I have loved this job, and I have loved these animals with all my heart. But unfortunately, it's impossible to continue this way.
We have always fought hard to try and do things the right way that would benefit the animals and everyone involved in the best way possible. Somehow that often put us at odds with those we were trying to help.
We will continue to rescue, and continue to advocate for the government and law being used thoroughly and properly to help animals in our state. It is definitely a statewide problem. I hope that one day, we can all fight together for the same thing ❤️
It's not an end, it's a fresh start!
To clarify, we are not shutting down at all. We just are leaving the shelter, so we will return to foster-based rescue :) and we will be looking for new fosters going forward!
‼️Kitty Update‼️
Our little buddy is doing fabulous so far. Eating, drinking, walking, and purring away like nothing ever happened.
I did decide to go with the name Ansel, because he definitely has a guardian watching over him, but I have written down all the other name suggestions so I can steal them for all the babies that come in the future 😁
Ansel is a very sweet boy, who loves attention. I dropped him off at Magnolia Animal Clinic-Dr. Dean Stringfellow to have his wounds shaved and cleaned up, vaccines, triple test, and they're going to neuter him while he's sedated. So he's getting the works! He'll be a whole new cat on Monday!
Stay tuned for the after photos!
🙏 We're hanging in there! 🙏
Our kitty from yesterday is eating and doing well so far. He's active and alert, and he is much more hydrated today. The medicine has made him a good bit more comfortable so far!
If he continues to hang in there, we'll take everyone's names and put them to a vote! He doesn't like the kennel, but it's keeping him confined until his wounds heal. We would be so grateful for any help with his ongoing care! ❤️

⚠️ Our kitties need you! ⚠️
I want to introduce Mrs. Wiggles, seen in the video below. She is a kitten born with cerebral hypoplasia, also known as Wobbly Cat Syndrome. And oh boy is she wobbly! Just watch her go!
Due to our debt to our vet (Sorry, Dr. Dean), we could really use some help getting these guys vaccinated and fixed. It's so important to us that the kittens we sent out into the world are protected from diseases and accidental babies. And our little friend who was mauled still needs ongoing care.

💔 Dorothy 💔
Dorothy came back to us today after being adopted 7 months ago. In a rash decision, which I can only guess was made to spite his family he was renting from, her dad moved to Florida and left her chained up to a tree outside.
She is extremely stressed, pacing, and wouldn't eat this morning. 7 months is a long time to think that you're home and part of a family, only to be abandoned and returned to what amounts to a prison cell.
THIS is why we don't take owner surrenders. Because they struggle so bad in a shelter. Finding them a home to go to instead makes the transition infinitely easier. Not to mention the fact that adoptions are down all over. Her brother, Rocko, has been here for 5 months with no interest.
No matter the brief amount of play time, the toys, the treats, or anything else we give them to try and make them happier, this place is not a home. And they are not happy here. It's supposed to be a temporary stop on their way to forever. But they're getting stuck here, and people treat it like a place to dump off their unwanted animals.
Please. Before you buy a dog, think about the dogs waiting in their cell for a chance at freedom. Before you leave your dog at a shelter, think about how they'll feel locked up in such a scary place without their family.
Some experts say dogs have the mental capacity of a toddler. Imagine how a 3 year old would feel in the same situation. That's how a dog feels.
Adopt. Foster. Volunteer. Donate.
