🌸 Meet Pear Blossom! 🌸

🐾 We Need Your Help! 🐾

Our pet food bank is in need of the following donations:

•Dry dog (any brand)
•Dry cat food (any brand)
•Cat litter

We especially appreciate smaller bags of food, as they’re easier to distribute to families in need.

Your donations help us keep pets in the homes where they are loved instead of being surrendered to the shelter. This program makes a huge difference for pets and their families in our community.

We know this time of year can be tough for many, and we’re so grateful for any help you can give.

Donations can be dropped off or mailed to:
Ingham County Animal Control & Shelter
600 Buhl St.
Mason, MI 48854

Our Pet Food Bank Amazon wish list is linked in the comments below.

From the bottom of our hearts (and paws), thank you for your kindness and support. Together, we can make a difference! ❤️🐾

🧡 Meet Fizzler, our young cat with an old soul! 🧡

Though he’s only 9 months old, Fizzler acts like a wise senior, spending most of his day napping and lounging in his favorite cozy spot. He’s currently in our cat room, getting along peacefully with the other cats, but what he’d really love is a quiet home with plenty of comfy corners to call his own.

Fizzler is a gentle, laid-back boy who’s taking shelter life in stride, and we know he’ll settle in beautifully with a little time. If you’re looking for a calm, snuggly companion who’s already mastered the art of relaxation, come meet Fizzler today! 🧡🐾
