💛 Alfredo’s Wish List – A Little Help for a Big Fighter 💛🍝

To be honest, we weren’t prepared for how far Alfredo would come.
A few weeks ago, we truly thought we were going to lose him. But today, he’s still here — curious, determined, and slowly getting stronger every single day. That in itself feels like a miracle. 🥹✨

But because Alfredo wasn’t expected to survive everything he's been through, we’re now in a place we didn’t quite anticipate — supporting a kitten on a long, positive healing journey. That means he needs a lot of basic kitten things… but very specific ones that fit his current needs.

His front legs are still weak, and while we’ve seen improvement (which is HUGE!), he’s still building strength. The right toys and enrichment help encourage gentle movement, muscle use, and confidence — without overwhelming him or risking injury. Every thoughtful item truly supports his healing. 💪🐱

Below is a list Alfredo’s foster mom, Jamie, put together, with a lot of thought for her special boy.

Alfredo’s Wish List:
🐾 Small, lightweight toys that are easy to bat and chase
🧶 Soft toys (he is currently obsessed with his beloved KONG string) that bring comfort without strain
🛏️ Low, fun spaces to explore, he’s super adventurous
🔥 Warmth items to help his little body rest and recover
💉 Syringes for his daily medications and Fortiflora probiotic to help his little tummy

Alfredo’s progress would not be possible without Jamie. She’s been his constant — monitoring him, medicating him, cheering on every tiny win, and loving him through the hard days. Alfredo is thriving because of her dedication and heart. 💛

And we want to thank you, Alfredo’s Army, for supporting us through this difficult journey. Thank you for believing in Alfredo when the future was uncertain. Thank you for supporting Jamie. And thank you for being part of his story. We truly couldn't do it without the support of our amazing community and we hope this support continues as we help Alfredo navigate towards a brighter future!

Alfredo’s Army is strong — and this little fighter feels it. 🐾💛

💡🎄 Roy’s Helping Us Light Up Lives! 🎅🐾

Our Elf, Roy, has been checking out our Light A Bulb fundraiser this morning… and he wants EVERYONE to know how important it is!

With Noel cheering him on, Roy found the perfect spot next to our HOPE sign (because that’s exactly what this fundraiser brings to our animals ❤️).

Each year, Light A Bulb helps us honor loved ones while raising funds that directly support the hundreds of dogs and cats who rely on LCHS for safety, care, and a second chance.

✨ For every $10 donated, we light a bulb on our virtual tree.
Each bulb represents hope… love… and brighter futures for the animals who need us most.

Roy says:
“Let’s make this tree SHINE, friends! Our animals deserve the brightest season ever!” 💡🐶🐱

You can donate online at lchumanesociety.dog or stop in to fill out a form.
Every single bulb makes a difference. ❤️

Stay tuned — Roy’s mission this month is to spread Christmas cheer AND help our animals however he can! 🎄🐾

🐾 FIV Friday: Meet Conchiglie 🐾🍝

Today we want to introduce you to Conchiglie, one of our incredible Pasta Party cats — and one of our FIV-positive kitties who is so ready to change the way people see an FIV diagnosis.

Conchiglie might look a little rough around the edges, but don’t let that fool you. She’s healing, she’s playful, and she is absolutely full of life. Despite everything she’s been through, she’s sweet, affectionate, and bursting with personality. Once she warms up (and it doesn’t take long), she’s all toys, attention, and happy little zoomies. 💛

✨ So what does FIV really mean?
FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) affects a cat’s immune system — but it does not mean a cat can’t live a long, happy, normal life. FIV-positive cats can live for many years, often symptom-free, especially when they’re kept indoors and receive regular vet care. FIV is only spread through deep bite wounds, meaning it cannot be passed through sharing food bowls, litter boxes, toys, or snuggles.

Conchiglie doesn’t know she’s “different.”
She knows how to play.
She knows how to love.
She knows how to trust again.

She’s one of the lucky ones — rescued from a heartbreaking situation and given a second chance because someone cared enough to help. Now all she needs is a forever home that sees her, not her diagnosis.

If you’ve ever thought about opening your heart to an FIV-positive cat, let Conchiglie be your reason. She has so much love to give — and she’s just waiting for someone to choose her. 🏡💛

📣 GERTIE UPDATE for her loyal fans 📣

Miss Gertie has some very important news to share… 👀✨

This weekend, our favorite little diva is heading out for a foster trial with her potential new family! 🏡💖

Her potential adopter has been coming to the shelter and spending lots of quality time with Gertie — getting to know her personality, her quirks, and, of course, earning her trust (and approval 😉). This foster trial is the next exciting step to see how she settles into home life.

We’re feeling all the hopeful, happy feelings and appreciate every single person who has cheered her on, shared her posts, and fallen a little bit in love with her along the way.

We’ll be sure to keep everyone updated on how our girl does.
Send Gertie all the good vibes this weekend! 🐾✨

🐾 Thinking about adding a cat to your family?
Why not consider two? 💕

We hear it all the time: “Isn’t adopting two cats harder?”
And the truth is… it’s often easier — for you and for them.

From built-in companionship and healthier kitten development to fewer behavior issues and double the joy, bonded pairs (or kittens adopted together) truly thrive when they have a buddy by their side. They keep each other entertained, burn off energy together, and provide comfort when you’re not home.

Plus, adopting two means you’re not just changing one life — you’re saving two and helping us make space for even more animals in need. 🧡

If you’re considering adoption, don’t overlook the magic of a dynamic duo. Sometimes, the best things really do come in pairs. 🐱🐱

💛 Alfredo Update 💛

Our little miracle boy is doing amazing and truly living his best life in his foster home — and for that, we cannot thank Jamie enough. 🙏🏻 The love, patience, and dedication she continues to pour into Alfredo means everything to him… and to us.

We are still accepting applications for Alfredo, but after speaking closely with our veterinarian and choosing to err on the side of caution, Alfredo will be remaining in foster care for another two months while he continues a specific medication protocol. While we were hopeful he might be ready for his forever home sooner, our top priority is giving him the best possible long-term outcome.

Just a couple of weeks ago, we truly thought we were going to lose him. Seeing how far he’s come since then feels nothing short of incredible. He’s playful, cuddly, thriving, and soaking up every bit of love around him. 🥹💛

If you’re considering adopting Alfredo, it’s important to know that toxoplasmosis will be a lifelong condition for him. It’s something that will need to be monitored and managed, but it does not define him. Alfredo is so much more than a diagnosis — he’s resilient, affectionate, and full of joy.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support Alfredo and cheer him on. Please keep sending love, prayers, and positive vibes to Jamie and Alfredo — they feel it, and it matters more than you know. 💛

📣 Jamie shares Alfredo updates frequently, so feel free to follow her page if you’d like to keep up with his journey.

This little guy has already beaten so many odds… and his story is still being written. 💛🐾

This holiday season, our hearts are full thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters. Every donation — whether supplies, food, or financial gifts — is helping us care for our animals during one of the busiest times of the year. 🐾

Because of you, our shelter is filled with warm beds, full bowls, and a whole lot of love. Your kindness truly embodies the spirit of the season and reminds us how lucky we are to have such a compassionate community.

From all of us at LCHS — and every wagging tail and happy purr — thank you for making the holidays brighter for our animals. ❤️🎁

So many people have been asking about our sweet Snoopy, so we wanted to share a quick FAQ post to help answer some of the most common questions. 💛

🐾 Snoopy FAQs 🐾
We are absolutely loving all the interest in this special old man! Here’s a little more info about Snoopy for those who have been asking:

• Age: 9 years old
• Weight: Roughly 20 lbs
• Adoption Fee: $50 (most of his fee has been sponsored by his amazing supporters ❤️)
• Good with dogs: Yes
• Good with cats: Yes
• Kids: Snoopy would likely do best in a home without young children
• Energy level: He enjoys running and playing, but he’s also very happy to settle in for snuggles
• Breed: We’re not entirely sure — possibly a terrier mix

Snoopy is the perfect mix of playful and calm, goofy and gentle. He’s full of love and ready to spend his golden years in a cozy forever home.

📋🎄 Roy & Noel’s Official Kennel Card Update Patrol! 🐾

Roy and Noel have been busy making their rounds through the dog kennels, helping update everyone’s very important kennel cards — because every good pup deserves an accurate résumé.

Name? ✔️
Breed? ✔️
Age measured in Christmases? ✔️✔️✔️

Roy is taking his job very seriously, carefully checking each card and making sure no detail is missed. Noel is nearby offering moral support, encouragement, and the occasional head tilt of approval. 🐶🐾

From Sugar Cookie Shepherds to North Pole Terriers and even a few Baby Reindeer mixes, Roy says every dog here is clearly on the nice list — they just need the right family to notice them. ❤️

These kennel cards help our staff, volunteers, and visitors learn more about each dog and imagine them as part of their own home — and Roy & Noel are proud to help however they can.

Roy’s note:
“Good dogs. Great descriptions. Still waiting on forever homes.”

Stay tuned… these two elves will be popping up all over the shelter keeping an eye on things and spreading some holiday cheer! 🎅🐾🎄

We Need to Brag About Johnny for a Minute… 🐾🖤

If you’ve been following Johnny’s journey, you already know he came to us scared, unsure, and guarded after being abandoned in a crate with his feline family. But lately?
✨ Something beautiful is happening. ✨

Johnny is getting braver.
He’s peeking out more.
He’s watching with curiosity instead of fear.
He’s taking little steps forward that might seem small to others — but to us, they’re HUGE.

Our staff sees it.
Our volunteers see it.
That shy boy who once melted into the background is starting to show flashes of confidence, and it’s impossible not to smile when he does.

Johnny still has a long way to go, but he’s trying — every single day. He’s learning that gentle hands exist. That safety is possible. That maybe… just maybe… the world isn’t such a scary place after all.

We hope there’s a home out there who can see what we see — not just who Johnny is right now, but who he’s becoming. Because this sweet boy has so much love waiting to bloom.

We are so proud of you, Johnny. Keep being brave. 💛🐾
