Just a reminder that precious Silver is still looking for his forever home! Let us know if you’d like to meet him! Don’t forget we have our open house at the shelter every Saturday from 10 to 1!

See comments for a current picture of Silver, looking like a little black lion!

In honor of black cat awareness month:

Say hello to Silver — affectionate when the vibes are right, mysterious when they’re not.

He’s that perfect mix of “please pet me” and “please pretend I don’t exist.”

Silver is proof that love doesn’t have to be clingy — it can be quiet, calm, and occasionally hiding under the couch.

(Brother of Sear and Sage.)
